Hi John,

I really like this image! In fact, this shot makes a great selection for BetterPhoto's "Where in the World?" quiz. It will be featured in the next issue of the PhotoFlash newsletter, which goes out this week.

John, let's see if anyone can come up with the correct answer, so please don't reveal the location of this beautiful photo. I'll check back in several days and see how things are going.

And, for everyone else, have fun guessing where this fantastic scene can be found!

I'll take a guess. Could this be Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania?

It looks quite familiar, though I can't place the exact vantage point.

I want to say Tokyo for some reason....it's truly a great shot! #2030436

Larry Lawhead level-deluxe November 03, 2005

Sandra Hardt level-deluxe November 03, 2005

Yes, it does look like Pittsburgh....facing the hill where the lift goes up the side of the mountain... #2030841

November 03, 2005

Budapest, doesn't look like Pittsburgh to me, grew up near there. #2032685

Anthony Gedris November 03, 2005

I going to have to go with Tokyo. It was the first place I thought of when I saw the picture. Beautiful shot regardless. #2032706

Stacey L. Robbins November 03, 2005

Vancouver, Canada thats my best guess #2032920

Sandra Hardt level-deluxe November 03, 2005

I have looked at this again and still go with Pittsburgh...I believe the hill in the back in where the "rich folks" of Pitssburgh lived and took the "incline" down to the bottom to go to work...I believe we are also looking at the Smithfield Bridge...Isn't there anyone from Pittsburgh who could confirm/reject???? #2032959

November 05, 2005

This Pittsburgher comfirms this is the 'burgh! And you're right--that is the Smithfield St. Bridge (now renamed the Roberto Clemente Bridge). #2039560

Michele King November 06, 2005

My best guess would be Sydney, Australia.
