    I went through all the cathedrals in Belgium before I remembered that this is the famous one from England.

    Here's another location:

    I guess a hint is in order. The statue is one of the emperors of Russia, a ruler exceptionally well liked by the local people in his time.

    Well, if there are no takers: Senate Square, Helsinki.

    Right you are! The white building in the center is a cathedral. The yellow building on the left is the administrative center of the University of Helsinki, and the similar one on the right is the Government Palace where ministers and such come up with new ways to make everyone miserable.

    Some anonymous person sent me a music video shot on this location already but did not want to make a public guess. Pretty cool; I did not remember that video.

    On to you, lolIsuck!

    I wonder where in Limburg it's going to be this time

    I am starting to feel cozy about Limburg, so I don't mind! I know every ditch and stream in between Belgium and Holland now after all that time looking for a certain white, sanatorium-like mansion where Morticia would like to get married.

    Oh perhaps for my second marriage. And the next time we are hopefully allowed to make photos from the location without a popstar being 'disturbed in his concentration for his concert' at the evening.^^

    Haha, did you really have a popstar performing at your wedding who didn't allow photos to be taken?! The most shocking revelation here is of course the very fact that our metal-loving mistress of darkness has had a pop musician play at her wedding . The husband must have made some amends to have that happen.

    lolIsuck, how about our next virtual vacation destination? Limburg is fine, because we are starting feel a bit like locals here.

    No, they've sadly preserved very little of the coal mines in Heerlen.

    Is this Lorelei, the "murmuring rock" of Rhine?

    Yes it is the siren/witch of the Rhine, which led many ships into disaster.

    Your turn.

    Thank you, Morticia! I had a strong gut feeling that you would post something about Rhine if a waterway was involved, and went from there.

    Here's the next one, this time some waterways ways from the waters of Rhine.

    Yes! That is a fjord. But of course, I am going to need a bit more detail before I cede the turn.
