Some Vintage Photos Especially for Charlie Courtois (and Any/All Others on NT)
I will post the photos without any identifying information I'm curious as to whether or not Charlie (et al) can nail the locations depicted. The captions will come later.
1) Pfalzgrafenstein, Rhineland, Gutenfels Castle, Kaub, Germany, 1903
2) Hamburg, c. 1903, Germany, Turnfest, Gymnastic Festival
3) Seine River, Paris, France, c.1903
4) Water Tower, Lucerne Lake, Switzerland, c. 1903
NOTE: While I cannot claim Copyrights as the originator of the images, I do own the reproduction rights based on my ownership of both the original and digital file. (A. Mac)

Where's Charlie and any/all other interested parties?
Picture #1 is Pfaltzgrafenstein on the Rhine. We had a poster of it, when I was a kid.
Wish I could help with the rest...
These are great!
Well, trying to keep this alive, so it doesn't fall off the bottom of the page... Where is everybody?
Much love to you!
Great ID on the Castle Kaub. I'll only post those images I've identified (with some exceptions). The research is tedious to fascinating ... let's hope others come around to either nail the ID's or just enjoy the oldies ...
Thank you.
Tedious, I bet! Fascinating, too, but I wouldn't know where to begin on most of these...
Much love, dear A. Mac!
Hi Mac,
I puzzled over these, and came to the conclusion I don't have anything but guesses. I am way too new to church history, and church architecture to make even an educated guess. Mac, I didn't start reading about church history until 2011.I have learned a lot about the events but not any of the fine points.
I learned a little about Israel, but not enough to be ale to identify locations like you posted.
Ciao!

No clue, though to my alzheimered eye, number 3 looks like the St. Lawrence with the Chateau de Frontenac in the background.
I have placed the captions under each photo. Thanks for coming by, Charlie.
Hey Mac,
When I saw the answers, I realized that although I had been to Paris and saw the Left and Right Banks of the Seine, I was 14 when I saw Paris as a tourist. Uuumm...memory, I can't remember what happened an hour ago now!
The Rhein, I went by on a river boat in 1984, but one castle in Germany looks the same as the other. On that trip we went to all of Ludwig's Schlosses and many others.
Lucerne I visited a few times in the 60's and one quickly in 88. But, I am the world's least observant creature. So, I'll leave it at that!
