Ah good! I was at the wrong end of town, about 7 miles further west, though would never have found it even if landed on same street though with the changes. Was going to look for churches this afternoon

Weird area, I did kept second guessing if it was Bogota or not, but the street sign design was too big a factor to look elsewhere

well done jaymc, and cherry blossom who did say Bogota last night too. If you turn the camera around 180 degrees, are those homeless people sleeping? I really hope so, because this is what I read about the Bronx:

I think this is the best thread to ask this.

This is me. It's October 1973 and I'm seven years old. My mom and I went on a several month long trip around Europe and somewhere on the road she took this picture. My gut feeling is that it's Trieste, Italy or perhaps Pula, Croatia. I have no idea, but I'll bet that wall is still there.

I say maybe, but that looks like exactly the same piece of wall to me.

that makes total sense - we did eventually get to Greece (I had my 8th birthday in Athens)

and bingo! thanks for spotting that - I found the spot at 4:28 into this video. There's more trees now and it looks like the walls of Palamidi Fortress have been given a good cleaning.

I broke into that fortress once! Interrailing round Europe with friends in 1993 we were staying in Nafplio, after visiting the town we planned to visit the fortress on the way back to our hostel, which was on the other side, but after climbing all the way up the hill we found the fortress was closed. So we climbed up a 12ft wall, walked through it and out the other side.
