Where is this photo taken? (Anyone can post a photo)

[MARTINE]

It is Kinkakuji indeed! Turns out it had been burned down a number of times, the one pictured earlier was rebuilt in the 50s.

Wow - Kyoto is such a beautiful place to visit …can’t wait to go back to japan and I read their getting traction w vax and reducing numbers

A vineyard either in Bordeaux or Champagne region of France due to the color of the soil, pale brown/early black suitable for a light red or crisp white ...

close... But not light wines!

Is it that one in Paris which is full of pickpockets ? Cannot remember the name

No. We went to the Saint-Ouen market once, on a miserable day so not only were the pickpockets at home, but only about 25% of stalls were open. Our favourite Paris Marche au Puce is on the other side of Paris at Porte de Vanves on the weekend.

But the flea market in my photo is a long way east of there.

Absolutely! I didn't get to Kyoto when I went in 2019 - only Osaka and Tokyo (must get around to writing that TR) - but am keen to do Kyoto and also try to stay in a Ryokan, possibly around Hakone, when travel opens up again.

It’s also the most wonderful place to buy ceramics …

Not even a nibble on this one?!

Ok, so no real takers. If I said it was not far from here, would that help?

Left Bank, Bordeaux. Rothschild?

Left Bank yes. Chateau LaTour.

Château Latour - Wikipedia

Well I think you’re close to St Emillon still so Chateau Latour and Cab Sauvignon?

As above, Left Bank north west of Bordeaux. Opposite side of the Gironde so Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot with some Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. We did a tasting in their pristine white labs of barrel samples of Latour and Les Forts..

Artificial lake of varosliget City Park with Budapest Memorial Heroes' Square monument.

Is that the lake on1195?

 

[OATEK]

Artificial lake of varosliget City Park with Budapest Memorial Heroes' Square monument.

So the amphitheatre where the flea market is held is in City Park, Budapest, but on the other side of the park from the artificial lake.
