Nevertheless it was a fun challenge!

Used to get more difficult challenges from you ;-) But this is Baker Island in the South Pacific Ocean @ 0,19519° N, 176,47809° W Just a reverse Image search showed the specific markings on the island (South up).

Okay, so you visited the tower at the Emscherallee 11 in Dortmund? There are guided tours every saturday and sunday at 2 and 3 pm.

But that is what the picture on glas probably represents. Than asked chatGPTfor that picture with a result the museum in Berlin. Your request for a ‘approximate’ location saved me 😉. Curious if i’m on the right track.

I think it is at the Deutsche Technik Museum in Berlin.
Looking for the word ‘kokerei’ at Wikipedia. Came to a list and found the Kokerei Hansa in Dortmund and with the exact same tower.

You’re absolutley right. These mussels (dreissena polymorphia) live in sweet water and muddy riverbanks of lakes (like the Elbe or the Aussenalster). But the object in which the mussels are stuck on still seems mysterious.

The mussels have clung to it.
Mussels only live in salty water, so it must be some kind of harbour (maybe Hamburg, Germany)?

Well, this is a tough one Fiete! But thinking out loud: it looks like a part of a cart or device that is used in a harbour and that is brought ashore. On the left you see some kind of a small wheel. The cart or devices looks like it has been underwater for a long time and is therefore weathered.

Pic is a view north from Third Ave. at E. 149th St., Bronx, 1993 (revers img archief). Used picture can be found here seeoldnyc.com/bronx-1990s/ More recent picture from Google Maps

I'm still curious what time it was in the picture😉

Okay, to be more precise 07.41am 😉

This is the crossing Invalidestr/Chasseestr in Berlin (reverse img srch). It’s a mirrored pict looking at licenceplate of the car. Suggesting it is a recent picture (march3,2025) and using suncalc (no experience😉) it must be around 08.21am.

Used a revers image search and Google Maps.

This picture was taken at the Jernbanegade in Middelfart, Denmark. Near the Østergade busstop.

A visitors picture in Google Maps w/ same features confirms this.
Location: Unit 136, McArthur Glen Designer Outlet, York YO19 4TA, Verenigd Koninkrijk
2/2

The store (Caffe Nero) was pretty obvious. Looking at the pavement outside the store it must be an indoor venue. Searching for a mall I found MacArthur Glen Outlet in York. The specific Caffe Nero (there are more) is at unit 136. 1/2

In his emotion, he could not suppress his true nature.
