Guess where this is?

[Brian Ellis]

Name of bridge?

Is it in MA?

[KvHagedorn]

The Angostura Bridge in Ciudad Bolivar, Venezuela.

KvH has it

[Nowhere]

Can't find them unfortunately

Just writing that of course mountains were enough...but the specific place wasn't hard to find...
"Riesengebirge jugendherberge" on Google image search gives it...and from this point, once we have the name Samotnia (something like "lonely place") it's easy to find the second one, Strzecha akademicka...

This picture might be easier from another perspective, which is why you are getting this one.

It should not really be too difficult at all..

Is it in MA?

Wow, Brian.. you're usually pretty good at identifying from flora and buildings. Even I could tell that was latin America somewhere, from the cheap steel-roofed buildings and the trees.

I didn't really look at the photo closely. I saw a hump-backed suspension bridge and I have a vague recollection of having seen one such in the cranberry region of MA. All over in 3 secs!

The new one looks like a typical medieval castle anywhere in central Europe. There are achitectural similarities to at least a dozen châteaux and Schlossen in Switzerland alone, but it could equally be in E. France, Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, N. Italy or anywhere the Bourgignons/Savoyards went. The fact that it seems in good repair makes me think of D or CH but the lack of a background puzzles me a little. Arguably, the most famous one of this style is the Château de Chillon, but it ain't that, but you would guess from your spiel that it is a well-known one. Another well-known one that it could very well be is Vaduz Schloss, the seat of the Princes of Liechtenstein, but I suggest that the St-Gallen mountains on the other side of the Rheintal have been photoshopped out?????? (Or the weather was foggy in the valley???)

[KvHagedorn]

Schloss Vaduz is correct. No photoshopping.. the pics usually taken are from the other direction, and show the magnificent mountains behind it. (If the mountains are in that direction, perhaps someone did shop them, or there may be clouds..)

I dont think it was photoshopped. The angle of the shot negates any mountains that could possibly be that way.

This is a very interesting place - and I've been there. I admit there is not much to go from the photo so I'll give a good starting clue. It is the reconstructed house of someone who is now dead but was very famous (and still is).

[Nowhere]

Hmmm...I remember there was on...Sycily probably reconstructed house of some ancient philospher or somebody like that. Does this has something in common?

[Brian Ellis]

Not Sicily, not the residence of a philosopher.

Is it in Italy?

[Brian Ellis]

Not Italy (nor Greece, as this may be your next question!)

[KvHagedorn]

Latin America? Mexico maybe?
