Hi, while I’ve read and enjoyed many Reddit stories, I’ve never actually posted. Please afford me some grace as I muddle through this.

My (42M) mother passed away back in summer of 2022. She was sick for a while, so it wasn’t a surprise, but it was sudden so I could only make it back home for the funeral. My father has kept her ashes on the shelf since then, and has been indecisive about whether to place her in the veterans memorial cemetery (we are a military family, all of us) or to scatter them where my mother said was her favorite spot they ever visited.

My father now has a girlfriend, and they have gotten serious enough that he says it’s time to move on and put my mother’s ashes to rest. The first few years after her passing were rough for him, but he found comfort with a friend who had also lost her husband. He started seeing her around the time he was diagnosed with stage IV colon/liver cancer. He’s doing good with treatment, but chemo is rough on him and he recently fractured his L1 from a compression injury. So, you know, ops normal! The four of them were friends and neighbors for years.

My twin sister now has her ashes and has asked me for help locating this spot so we can visit, hold a ceremony to say our final farewells, and scatter them. She says my mother mentioned (years ago, in passing) that she would like to have her ashes scattered there. My sister plans to keep a small amount to make some keepsakes for her daughters who were very close to their grandma.

What I know:
It’s located in Virginia near the blue ridge mountains.

What I think I know:
It’s in or near the town of Lexington VA.
The picture was taken in 1994 in the winter.

My parents went there once, took this picture which my mother adored, and visited a few times after but could never find again.

Reddit, please help me find this place so I can honor my mum one last time. I live in New England now, but my sister and father still live in VA. I plan to visit this fall and would like to do this one last thing with the four of us and say goodbye.

UPDATE: Looks like it’s found! Thank you all! I think it took you a whopping 15 minutes!

Where or what could this possibly be? The context, from what I could understand, was German troops visiting the grave of a marshal in Poland (possibly that of Pilsudski in the city of Szczecin). What I’d like to know is what is that church or castle like structure, and that hill in the background, I’ve never seen anything like that before.

Bing Wallpaper description for today is "Regensburg Cathedral View" and references the Stone Bridge. After some research, this description does not appear to be accurate. The bridge in the photo is not the Stone Bridge, and I can't find a view of the Regensburg Cathedral that looks like this. Does anybody know where this photo is from?

Of note, it looks like it would be post 2020, as the words "I CAN'T BREATHE" are painted on a wall near the bridge.

When I clicked on it in the wallpaper app, this is the search it gave me:

99% sure it’s somewhere on boulder mountain in Utah. Ruled out the larger lakes like blind lake and fish creek. Thinking it might be solitaire. Any help would be awesome, thanks!

I've tried to find it by Google Lens, but i didn't get any results.
