    Well it seems no one knows it, taking a random guess to revive this and since you might be back soon... something medieval in France?

    It's Taq e Bostam near the city of Kermanshah in Iran, depicting the Sassanid king Khosrau II as a cataphract.

    I would rather have a memory that is fair but unfinished than one that goes on to a grievous end.

    Well it certainly looked like that, but the angels confused me

    No guesses?

    C'mon, you could at least try and guess the country/continent!

    some places are simply way too generic to be guessed properly and many (me included) do not like to do wild guesses

    knowing you a little bit from TATW I would say that if it is in your area it must be either Germany or Poland/Czech; it seems to be an old factory restored, I can see wagons in front of it while the light green open tank might be a depurating unit.

    I think it is little to work with

    Germany is correct. It's not a factory, mining industry is the key word.

    I made some research, till now I can only say that it should be a coal mine (due to the tower), but which one it is I can't say yet

    I suck terribly at this game
