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)

Rule #1 is pretty clear, you must have a descriptive title. Therefore we are removing any submission that is low-effort, such as:
We want to make this a fun sub and we want to solve your trickiest questions, but we need you to meet us halfway.

Where is this? I took this picture on a flight from Istanbul to Stuttgart in January because of the sky. I don’t recognize the buildings in the skyline. The “typical” TV tower may be the best clue, but I haven’t been able to figure it out. Thanks!

I found this sketch at a Habitat today, my googling has turned up nothing, but if Pawn Stars taught me anything, I do believe it’s live ink, so not a printing? Don’t know shit about art, so hell if I know how to find the artist lol my guess was someone made a million of these near a resort, or in this case a Hotel, and these were like tourist gifts.

She’s running across an arid landscape with little vegetation with short and small white white houses in the distance. It was in a Dutch fashion advertisement and the models name is Romy.

My grandparents have a painting that’s been in the family, and they’re trying to find out where the place in the painting is. It’s somewhere in the Netherlands

Saw this on the back of a car with British Columbia plates on the way to Whistler. ID help please? Is it a country? A lake maybe? Thank you!

The only potential context I have is that I believe it’s in Ohio. I found this in an old book at a thrift store locally.
Otherwise, I can’t tell exactly what’s being built or where this is.
I did find a newspaper with info on Bertschy’s Furniture but couldn’t sort out exactly where it was.

A First photo from the early 20th-century USA, taken from a family archive. I’d like to learn more about it in detail — where this funeral procession is taking place and roughly when.
A bit of context: my ancestors were Finnish immigrants, laborers involved in union movements.
The second funeral photo may also be from the same time and from the same archive.
--------
Analysis of the First Photograph
The signs in the image show the following words:
Judging by the architecture — Victorian style with balconies and towers — and the streetcar tracks on the road, this is likely a small American town, possibly in the Northeastern United States.
It could very well be New Castle, Pennsylvania — the same city mentioned in the second photo. The visuals fit both the era and the spirit of the place.
🕰 Approximate date:
❗️ Possible significance:
If this is from the same archive and period as the photo of L. Hautala’s funeral, then:
This could be a public demonstration/procession in her honor — especially if she was a victim during a strike.
--------
Analysis of the Second Photograph
This is a photo of a funeral ceremony, likely taken in the United States in the early 20th century. The inscription on the photo reads:
“MRS. L. Hautala kaatunut lakkoilijelus 9/22/19 New Castle, PA.”
Let’s break it down:
Context:
In 1919, the U.S. saw numerous labor strikes, including among steelworkers and coal miners. New Castle, PA, was an industrial town that employed many Finnish immigrants, so such labor conflicts could have taken place there.
Summary:
This is a photo of the funeral of a Finnish woman named L. Hautala, who is believed to have died as a result of her involvement in a labor strike on September 22, 1919, in New Castle, Pennsylvania. The photo shows a gathering of people — likely the Finnish diaspora or labor communities — taking part in the farewell ceremony.

My mother went on vacation to Spain and Portugal in the early 70’s and stood in front of these beautiful doors but she did not write on the back any details of the location. I have used Google Lens to zoom in on the doors and it indicates they are at the Evora Cathedral in Portugal but when I zoom in on the doors and the murals behind her they do not seem to match present day Evora. Is this indeed Evora or somewhere else?
