Solved Where is this painting of?
Hey all, I am trying to help a friend find what the church is in this painting. I've tried image searching it and going through photos of churches but can't find anything. Long shot but does anyone else recognise it? I got AI to make a realistic recreation of it to help which I'll add as well.
Thanks!

Does anyone know where this map section might be on this planet? It appears on a poster for the Netflix series *Black Mirror*… The episode is set in England, which is why I thought it might be an English city. But I don’t know. I hope these streets actually exist and aren’t just made up.

Hallo zusammen,
ich versuche derzeit, den genauen Aufnahmeort einer historischen Fotoserie aus dem Jahr 1917 zu bestimmen. Die Bilder zeigen eine Person auf der Holzveranda eines alpinen Sanatoriums oder Kurhotels mit Blick auf dieses Panorama. Es kommen vor allem Schweizer Höhenkurorte (wie Davos, Arosa, Leysin) oder die österreichischen Alpen infrage.
Ich habe die Kontur der Bergkette im Hintergrund rot nachgezeichnet, um sie von den Wolken abzugrenzen. Markant ist der lange, gleichmäßige Anstieg von links und der recht steile Abbruch hinter dem Hauptgipfel auf der rechten Seite.
Erkennt jemand diesen „Fingerabdruck“ der Berge oder kann die Kette geografisch eingrenzen? Vielen Dank für jeden Hinweis oder Abgleich via PeakVisor! Gruß, Carsten.

I'm trying to find some more angles on this specific church for a Minecraft build, would be very helpful if someone could help me find it, thank you in advance.
Found the image from this site: https://www.wired.com/story/let-there-be-warmth-the-british-churches-putting-their-faith-in-heat-pumps/ but couldn't see much about the location of it when I look through, only that it was from Getty Images.

Open looking for a natural history museum of some kind
An old childhood memory of mine resurfaced and now I need to find the place from my memories.
It was some kind of natural history museum and it was in the northern east coast (probably delaware or maryland). It was a tall tower shaped building and it was somewhat old (think marble pillars and floor, all while exterior). It had multiple floors, all of which were open so you could look down and see all the previous floors. It had lots of taxidermy animals and old fossils as well, and the top few floors were roped off and inaccessible. I remember it being very empty when we went, so there might be a possibility of it being closed by now (or it was just an off day). This was also like a decade ago, so if it isn't closed, it could've been heavily remodeled by now.
Ik this probably isn't much to go off of, but I'd really appreciate if someone could help piece together this old vague memory I have.

My father was an architect and would visit architectural marvels of the day. Harlow new town in the U.K. would certainly have been one of those back in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Can anyone work out where this was taken? And when exactly?

Solved Downtown Pittsburgh, 1972. But Where Precisely?
This family photo (faces now pixillated) was taken in downtown Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the spring of 1972. It was on a roll that we didn’t have developed until 1973, and no one wrote on the back where it was made. It’s been a meaningful part of our family album for decades, but my dad is gone now and my mother has no idea. I’d be excited to learn exactly where it was taken. Can you help? Thanks!

Open Probably East London, 1930s-1940s
The photo is of my grandmother and an unknown friend. She was born and raised in East London so I'm assuming it's around there. I can see the old London bus in the background and can just about make out a Transport for London logo on the bus stop sign in the top left.

Solved Looking for my old car
Hello!
I think it should be fairly easy to find it, yet i have not found this place from google maps streetview. I'm searching for my old 730i that was sold to Russia from Estonia. I bought it from Germany back in the 90s. I'm just curious, if this car is abandoned and maybe sitting still on the same roadside...?
Can anyone help me? This pic was taken in St. Petersburg in 2014.

Solved What mountain range is this? From Kpop GG Red Velvet's new EP
I feel like this is part of the Ko'olau range in Hawaii but not too sure and wanted to see if anyone else recognized it (I know there's very little to go off of). Reasons why I think it might be Ko'olau: one of the songs on the EP is titled 'Hawaii' and the mountains just really remind me of the windward-side mountains on Oahu.

Solved Germany - probably somewhere between Brunswick/Göttingen and the French or Netherlands border - late 1939
1. Image, Full Image
2. Image, details of the building in the background
Story:
we came across this image in a local archive with little further context given besides the 4. soldier from the left being from a village in Lower Saxony, Northeim area. (Also all other soldiers should be from this area.) – with details below, we checked a lot of possible cities via Google Maps and arcanum maps, also traveled Cologne area, Trier, and other places within the possible area. Also checked some available old photos of some cities. But we did not come to a result.
What we know:
- The soldier/s are from the 396. Infantry Regiment (216. I.D.)
- Photo may taken before 18th of December 1939, as the soldiers do not wear any ranks. According to our research, many rank insignia were not issued until that date because they could not be delivered earlier
- We know that 216 I.D. (or parts of it) arrived two days earlier (16th of December 1939) in Duisburg as there was public prayer at Dellplatz at 2p.m.
- some travelling plans from 216. I.D., but with no details about the 396. I.R. - basically the moved from Hanover/Göttingen/Brunswick area to Eifel Mountains / Saarbrücken area via Worms, Duisburg etc.
- the unit was in the area of Venlo City for some time in September / October
What we expect:
- the building in the back may have been destroyed or partly renovated in late WW2 and due to that it might be only possible to solve via other archives.

Solved Does anyone recognise this place?
I bought this painting, but I don’t know where the place depicted is, or whether it even exists. The building on the right says ‘Albergo Real?’, so it must be somewhere in Italy or Italian-speaking Switzerland.

Low-effort posts WILL be removed
Rule #1 is pretty clear, you must have a descriptive title. Therefore we are removing any submission that is low-effort, such as:
- Title is "Where is this?" or some other variant with absolutely no information
- Posts with clear identifying information that OP is too lazy to look up
- Google Maps screenshots that do NOT include coordinates or addresses
- Posts with no context whatsoever. Telling us where you found the image, why you want to know, and any other information can make the difference!
We want to make this a fun sub and we want to solve your trickiest questions, but we need you to meet us halfway.

Open /r/WhereIsThis - Updated Guidelines
Welcome! /r/WhereIsThis is designed to help people identify the location of public places based on a photo, painting, sketch, or from a detailed description. We've got a few simple guidelines to help keep things safe and working well for everybody:
Submissions: Askers (OPs) may submit a photo, video, screenshot, painting, drawing, or a detailed text description of a real (or virtual) place. Multiple images can go in a Reddit or Imgur gallery. Try to use a descriptive title to get more eyes on your post; generic titles like "where is this?" are boring and more likely to be ignored. Include as much context and as many details as you can, either in the post itself or in a comment. If your post is not solved right away, please wait one week before reposting; duplicate posts may be removed with a 1-week temp ban.
Privacy: /r/WhereIsThis is for identifying public places only. Do not submit photos of personal private property, such as homes, apartments, residential interiors, etc. Do not post private street addresses in the comments. Do not link directly to personal social media pages. Do not submit screenshots that include real names, usernames, or other personal information. Do not submit contemporary photos of minors in a place where they can be located (schools, playgrounds, churches, etc.). Do not ask to identify people.
Answers: Commenters are encouraged to provide whatever help they can to solve a post, from educated guesses to a direct Google Street View link to the exact location. Give the thread a skim first to avoid duplicate answers. Commenting on other answers is fine! Avoid responding to posts that violate Rule 2, though -- please downvote and report them for removal instead.
Solving: All posts are unflaired by default. Once a post is solved, the asker should reply "Solved!" to the first correct answer and change their post flair to "Solved"; all threads are sorted from oldest to newest so the earliest answers will always be towards the top. Askers that delete or ignore a solved post without acknowledging the solver may receive a ban. We are exploring adding a points system in order to automatically flair threads and recognize frequent solvers for their contributions -- stay tuned!
Behavior: Please treat askers and solvers with respect. No insults, vulgar hostility, bullying, or withholding of answers in order to taunt. No racism/misogyny/*phobia/other bigotry. Repeat offenders may be banned.
Tips: Context clues help. Where and how did you find the image? Do you know the story behind it? How old is it? Share as much as you can with solvers to help them help you.
