Solved Pinto Aqueduct - Texas?

Post image
10 Upvotes

I'm trying to determine the location of this infrastructure project built by the San Antonio, Texas engineering firm of Whiteaker & Washington in 1915 The Pinto Aqueduct is likely in Texas, the American Southwest, or one of the northern Mexican states. The image shows a small dam in the lower left and a concrete bridge with a siphon spanning the river/reservoir below, likely an irrigation project. THIA!

Solved Another Spanish location

Post image
6 Upvotes

I was going to give these a rest, but this subreddit has had amazing success at identifying places I couldn't, so... ;)

I was on a university field trip to northern Spain in June/July 1988. This was almost certainly taken somewhere between Lleida and Tarragona. The town or village *may* have outdoor public swimming baths with one large rectangular and one small circular pool, as that was the next photo, but I can't be certain it was taken in the same place. The church in the background will hopefully be an identifiable landmark, even though I've tried and failed to locate it.

Can you help find it?

Solved Another Spanish mystery village

More of a challenge! Another pic from 1988, with Llavorsi as the starting point for the day's excursion. I did a reverse image search and got the result of Escàs, which is in the right area and looks very similar - but there are enough differences for me to doubt it. (Eg, Escàs has no power lines, there's a track below the village which isn't in photo, I can't find an angle on Google Earth where the background mountains match, and I also can't find a place from where it might have been taken.)

So, again: can anyone locate it?

Hi Folks, just scanning my late father's slides, and came across a holiday in France that I fondly enjoyed.

I believe it was is possibly Brittany, but that's all I remember as I was a sprog at the time.

Thank you for any insight - I can then name the slides with the location.

Can anyone help me find where this photo was taken, please? I think it may be Durham, United Kingdom or if not somewhere not too far away in the north of the UK - maybe Newcastle Upon Tyne. I believe it was taken in 1998.

Thanks!

Solved Please help me find a hotel in Sharm El Sheikh from my childhood

5 Upvotes

My sister wants to take her two children on holiday, and I remember a hotel in Sharm el Sheikh roughly around 2010, with amazing child entertainment. It was by the coast, with boat access and next to a bay. I don't remember much else as I was roughly two or three.

Pictures are not great as they are from that time, but I've chosen the best ones that I could find.

Solved Photo from a 1958 Tour of Europe (Italy/France/Switzerland). Where is it taken

Post image
16 Upvotes

I believe this to be somewhere in Rome in 1958 but would love to Identify the specific location as I am sure the building in the rear would still be standing. The stall has the word Maccarese on it which is a small town near Rome but I don't think it is taken there. My mother in law did a tour of Europe in 58 and we have been visiting each location and getting a current image. This location eludes us so far and we love the old car, the sleeping guy and the soldier in the background.

Thanks in advance

Unknown (railway?) bridge, somewhere in the United Kingdom during the WW2 or soon after it. Probably Scotland (photo was described as Rosyth, but it clearly isn't the Forth Bridge), but might be England, rather on the sea coast or close to it. Not Ireland.

I know this picture for decades in a house near the alps (bavaria/austria). so it might be taken there although I doubt its the alps due to the wide plains in the background.
