  It looks like somewhere in Germany or maybe Switzerland

  Tough one. It could be more or less anywhere in central Europe. I reckon the thing to do is wait for Sharon and see if she recognises it. It looks vaguely like various bits of Germany I've been in, but being bombed flat and rebuilt can make that a tricky match. Got to guess something, though, so I'll go with Bad Herrenalb.

  Offhand, it doesn't look familiar (or very familiar in a generic way.)

  On the superzoom I see that there seems to be a sign on one of the buildings - I've tagged it above. I *think* the text is reversed and I *think* one of the words is PENSIONE, but I am very far from certain. Perhaps we're somewhere in Switzerland? That'd explain the mix of German-looking buildings and (possibly) Italian text. Or maybe somewhere in the extreme north of Italy where things can look a bit German? Or perhaps I'm mis-reading the sign.

  Do I need to flip the photo?
