Reprise of the rules.

The winner of the previous round posts a picture and a question about it. Typically "where.

You may not use "tin eye" or similar reverse image look up sites.

Please do not use XCIF data from the image to help. (note to posters, please remove XCIF data). This can include titles and location data.

Please do not allow 24 hours to pass between clues.

Questions deserve an answer (with the exception, of course, of directly asking for the answer).

We will have to figure out how to deal with winners that go AWOL.

Clues may be text or photographic.

Contestants may use text searches to look for images (in particular images.google.com is allowed to be searched via text searches).

There is no rule about having visited a place. If you have visited a place (or not) and instantly recognize where the picture is, go for it.

Please try to choose a picture and question where it is possible someone else will know or be able to research your answer. For example a picture of someone in your family and asking for the name will be just impossible for anyone else to get.

PM The winner.

OK, I am going to assume that he has abandoned us, and will throw it open to the first person that answers the question: In what city?

I think I have just figured out how to deal with a winner that goes AWOL before posting a picture.

After 24 hours the last person to post a picture can post a really simple Mystery Photo. This allows the game to start with a reasonably random person. (The real answer is "Who is paying attention?")

Is it in Pisa?

Perhaps you should open discussion, maybe your answer to the issue isn't liked by the peanut gallery.
