Questions tagged [identify-this]

Finding the name of some place, food, monument, or other travel-related thing.

Finding the exact name, and perhaps location, of something travel-related by providing as many details as you can, including photos if possible. If there are not enough details and/or show of previous research the question is likely to get closed.

This may be a picture, a photo, a place or location from a movie, a book, a poem, and so on.

For photo identification, TinEye and Google reverse image search are your friend, but you can still post your question if these yield no useful research.
