    Correct. Didn't look like anyone is trying so I thought it's better close this round.

    Yes it's frustrating when no one guesses, but it happens every once in a while. Onto the next one, then!

    Well, that's the Foro Boario in Roma. Looks to have changed a bit since I was last there.

    That's it, the general area. But can you tell me which is the name of the Temple?

    Well, there appears to be a Belgian flag, but I couldn't find this memorial. Can't quite tell what the second flag is, it's not one of Belgium's regions. Might be that of a town or something. Only thing it reminds me of is the flag of tennessee..

    North Cape, the northernmost point of continental Europe.

    That was pretty tough actually. Thought it was a kind of observatory first, before I realized that ball shape is more like a radar dome. Then first I thought it was at high altitude before I realized it could be up north.

    Interesting, and thank you for the feedback! I thought it would not be excessively hard once a participant realized that the metal grid is a globe, a bit easier when you spot its shadow to the left.

    But I was perhaps overestimating how helpful that was. It took me a while to find a picture I could post, because most showed the thing in its entirety and just googling "metal globe" would have been enough. "Metal globe north" would offer next to nothing but North Cape. Considering how vague the clues were in the picture I posted, I think you did a really good job in locating the place.

    Since we are the most active participants in Guess Where, I feel obliged to tell you that my involvement at TWC has come to its end. Many, many thanks but no goodbyes. This stimulating practice that I do not feel entirely right to call a competition can continue on another platform if you so wish.

    This feels to me like somewhere in Tierra del Feugo. But that is a big area, and the exact spot I have not yet found.
