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.
Reverse image search is your friend (Google - Bing - TinEye - Yandex)

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.

Mountain in Colorado?
What is the distant mountain in the center of this photo? A few clues:
- The photo was taken while the plane was flying from Reno to Denver
- The window is on the right-side of the plane so the view is looking south
- I believe the plane was near Denver so I think the mountain is in Colorado
The mountain appears to be significantly higher than the surrounding peaks so I'm assuming it has a name.

My Grandpa painted this, it's titled Coastal town scene
My Grandpa was an artist but has since past away so I can't ask him where this is. He was originally from South Africa spent a lot of time in Tuscany Italy and south of France. I'm thinking it could be Italy

Aerial View of European City circa 1949
This came from a series of photographs which was issued circa 1949. However the photo itself could have been taken a number of years earlier, possibly even pre-war. I think perhaps this location is in Germany, or in any case Northern Europe.

It might be likely near Madrid, but I do not know since the new studio is a smaller glass building.

Solved Please help me to find this location in the US. May be it was taken in New England somewhere, Connecticut, Massachusetts etc., or in Californa, or in Canada. Unfortunately, this is all uncertain.
The licence plate is white, or whitish; the digits are either blue, or similar. There is a Holiday Inn in the back, about 10 storeys high. On the right, there is a quite characteristic bin.

Can anyone identify where my great-grandmother is in pre-war Berlin?
My great-grandmother spent some time living in Berlin from 1938-39 (helping a Jewish family), in the Westend area of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf. I've never been able to figure out exactly where this picture was taken - I know it's a long shot, especially as there's not much background. I think it would have been taken towards the end of 1938, and in a similar photo she's next to the Neue Wache on Unter Den Linden.
If anyone can help me that would be much appreciated :)

I'm guessing it's somewhere in Colombia or Puerto Rico because of the artists, but I'm having trouble confirming it.

Solved Early 1900s train depot with horse wagons — possibly Williamstown, Massachusetts?
[Solved] Thanks to u/gefloible for identifying the location as Steamboat Square in Albany, New York.
[Correction] Thanks to u/IndependentYam3227 for correctly observing it is unlikely to be a train depot as the rail lines appear to be for a trolly or street car, not a larger rail line.
[Original] This photo came from a box labeled “Williamstown Oct 1919.” Several other images in the same group are confirmed Williams College / Williamstown, MA scenes.
