Guess This Photo - June 2018

[Mark]

Somewhere along the Rhine?

Correct, Which country?

 

[Colo]

The flag on the castle looks red, white, blue so I am thinking somewhere in Alsace?

 

[Mark]

It is Alsace, it is the Grand Cru Schlossberg Vineyard in Kaysersberg

 

[Colo]

Kaysersberg?

 

[Mark]

Orrect, Have you been there?

 

[Colo]

Once I noticed the flag it became a process of elimination
Give a bit to post the next one

 

[Colo]

Did a Rhine cruise at Christmas, but not Kaysersberg

 

[Mark]

Nice small town, not as touristy as Riquewihr.
My avatar is at the castle, very nice US WW2 Memorial atop a hill with great vistas along with a French cemetary.

 

[Mark]

American Memorial Sigolsheim

 

[Colo]

Thanks Mark for the extra shots. Alsace is place I really want to spend more time exploring.

Well 2020 is not that far away... It may be time to start planning for this site

 

[Colo]

Hint: This is the site of a promise kept for over 400 years for being spared from the bubonic plague ravaging their town.

 

[Eleanor]

Is it Oberammergau?

 

[Colo]

Eleanor you are correct?

This is a side shot of the theater in Oberammergau where the townspeople perform the Passion Play every 10 years. In 2020 it will be the 42 performance. About 2000 townspeople participate in the play, which runs from May to October. The Passion Play starts in the afternoon, there is a break for dinner, and does not end until 10 pm.

Eleanor - next please!

 

[Eleanor]

The hint gave it away...

Any offers for this?

 

[Mark]

La Roque-Gageac

 

[Eleanor]

That was quick! Your turn next Mark.

 

[Mark]

The sign gave it away, belletoile

This should be easy

 

[Mark]

Here is a hint. Look at the far tower, there is a name at the top.

 

[Eleanor]

I should have enlarged the picture earlier.... Of course it is Dumfermline Abbey! Robert the Bruce was buried here, although his heart was taken to be buried at Melrose Abbey.

 

[Mark]

I thought you would have gotten it right away being from the UK. His bones are still there but you are correct about his heart. Your turn Eleanor.
