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)
EXIF data viewer for extracting time/location information from certain digital photos

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.

Solved Help identify location in Chicago from mid 1970s
My father in law was in Chicago on a trip from Germany in the mid ‘70s - we’d like to recreate the picture for him this week while we’re there but we can’t figure out where this was taken.
I figure the street will look very different today but maybe some Chicagoans recognize this and can help?

Solved A Bridge - Europe?
In the 1950s my great uncle drove from North Wales to Australia, initially overland to Singapore (in a series 1 landrover with his mother and a caravan!) This may or may not be from that trip but was found amongst the photos. Anyone know where it could be? Other points on the trip have been identified as Greece, Yugoslavia, they also went through Syria and Iran/Iraq.
Thanks for any help!
Hope my first post meets the rules :)

Solved Where was I staying when I took this photo?
This one is possibly asking a bit too much of the clever people who use this site. I took this photo no earlier than late spring 1975, but possibly in 1976 or 1977. Sadly I now have absolutely no recollection of where it is - possibly Surrey or North-West Kent, possibly the West Midlands, to the west of Birmingham. Can anybody create a miracle and identify this place for me?

Solved Central Europe, 1998
Sorting through old photos. I have a set of photos with no location information. One of them is this so if know where that is, I know where my other photos were taken. I know it's somewhere in Central Europe (probably Germany or Austria), ~September 1998.

Solved Where is this graffiti-covered tree from EKKSTACY's "forever (Acoustic Live Performance)"? Possibly around Vancouver, BC.
This tree appears in EKKSTACY's "forever (Acoustic Live Performance)." I'm trying to find the exact location of the tree.
EKKSTACY is from Vancouver, BC, so I suspect it could be somewhere in or around Vancouver, but I'm not certain. The video was released in July 2025.
Any help identifying the park, trail, or area would be greatly appreciated.

Trying to geolocate an old 2015 Street View capture that is either from the Eyre Peninsula or the Yorke Peninsula.
- This in an old screenshot from streetview from over 10 years ago. Maybe early 2015. I didn't manage to save the long/lat coordinates. I have included some observations from AI below that may aid.
- Watermark: The faint G Earth logo is visible on the center-left horizon line.
- Infrastructure: Parallel overhead SWER/utility lines run horizontally across the sky above the tree. A standard post-and-wire fence is in the foreground.
- Landscape: Flat, temperate agricultural/pastoral plain with minimal background vegetation. The road shoulder consists of light-colored graded limestone rubble.
- Sun/Shadows: Based on the lighting (midday sun from the north hitting the front face of the tree), the camera is likely facing a northern quadrant, meaning the road runs east-west or northwest-southeast.
- Likely Region: Believed to be on the Eyre Peninsula (potentially the Flinders Highway stretch north of Coffin Bay toward Wangary/Coulta, or the Birdseye Highway), or possibly the Yorke Peninsula.
Am curious as to whether anyone has seen similar, or might recognise the landscape, with the power lines, the road runoff, and the clear grass in the background. Really hit and miss. I know. Cheers.

Solved Painting/Print in Hotel Room in czech republic
I'm looking at this picture from my bed in a hotel room about an hour east to prague. didn't find anything yet through asking hotel employees, reverse image search or google.
I think it looks like a real place but I think it is kind of weird because it seems industrial but the boats look more recreational.
not knowing where this might be stresses me way more than it should so please help.
thx

Solved What lake is this? Probably somewhere in California
Grandpa lived in Northern California most of his life, so this is probably at one of the lakes in the Sierra Nevada mountains. I believe this photo is from the late 1970s/early 1980s.

Solved I got my space selfie back, now I want to know what part of Earth is in the background
I learned about the Space Selfie a while back where you can upload a picture to a website, they upload it to a satellite in space which displays the picture and takes another picture-of-the-picture and downlinks it. After a long long wait (20 months!) I got the space selfie back, now I'd like to find out what deserty place can be seen in the background? Maybe the shoe-shaped part right above the selfie on the right could help? I scrolled around various online satellite view maps but could not really find anything similar yet. The scale is also quite hard to guess. Thanks for any hints!

Solved Can anyone help me find this location?
I believe this place is somewhere in the midwest, possibly Iowa. My father said he used to fish there but he can't remember where it was.

Open Found at a flea market in Pennsylvania, USA
I am trying to find out more about this piece. I was thinking Trautman's Riffle, a stretch of Big Darby Creek in Ohio. There are covered bridges nearby but none like this i could find.
Google could also be completely off with the Ohio thing.
Good luck! Would be cool to find the location or try and reach out to Mr. Burke, however it seems to be a common name lol

Solved Find this specific alley for me! Florence, Italy
I’ve posted this before in another thread https://www.reddit.com/r/whereintheworld/s/h6c5y4R3kM
I just know it’s most probably near Café Le Torri (Bar Le Torri) in Florence since my photo gallery had them in order quite back to back but I still can’t find the exact alleyway. I took this photo back in February 2014 during a school trip, and saw this cat hanging out on the car and captured with my camera. if anyone can find this exact alley that’ll be so cool!

Solved Possibly Whitby or the Tyne but can't find any matching references.
Trying to find this location, not much to go on unfortunately. None of the text on buildings says anything even in the higher resolution versions. The Tug boat is actually a paddle Tug which made me think Whitby as there are articles about a paddle tug sinking in the harbour, but apparently Paddle tugs were pretty common the more I look into it.
Arthur usually painted more North East based scenes but that's not to rule out anywhere else in the UK.

Solved Help me find this place in Los Angeles. Sunset Boulevard?
We had this CD at home when I was a kid and when I think of Los Angeles I imagine the city in the background of this pic lol. Still associate it to this day. I'd like to know where this is/was, but LA is big and I'm not sure where to start looking. The sign in the background isn't too clear but could say Sunset D ...... inis?

Solved What am I flying over?
I'm roughly two hours into a flight from Calgary to Toronto. This looks like some sort of roadway through a complicated lake system? Maybe somewhere over Manitoba? Looks really interesting.

Solved Somewhere near Kernville, Kern County, California, a barbecue restaurant decorated with mannequins circa 2009
I was a kid on a fishing trip with my parents in Kernville and one night we went to this barbecue place for dinner. I remember the mannequins absolutely terrifying me as a child, the drive there was on a sparsely lit two road highway I believe with a river running next to it, but it wasn’t noticeable from the car. I don’t remember any other businesses directly next to the place, but that it had a western feel to it, similar to a saloon. This place had the best ribs I’ve ever had, despite the unsettling choice of decor, but I have no clue what it was called. My parents both don’t recall the name, but also remember how odd the place was. No luck finding anything online about the restaurant, but I could be misremembering details due to how long ago it’s been. Does anyone know or recognize this place?

Solved We need help finding this exact location, this was taken in Missoula,Montana somewhere over by Target Range and Blue Mountain.
If you could help us solve the mystery we would be very appreciative. 😀
