In the 1986 TV series Lytton's Diary, at the beginning of this scene in S2 E1, it says they're invited to dinner at Boomerang Tower, then they go up to number 8 in the elevator and Fleet Street is mentioned at the table. The elevator door opens directly into that apartment. The subsequent bright scenes are from the later episodes. The series is mostly filmed in London. Thank you in advance for your help.

as the title says. I've lost contact with the company that hired me and brought me there. It was withing a few hours drive from Budapest

The film is called Blue Bayou and it was set in New Orleans. Interested in finding out what street this was taken on. I think it might be around the Algiers Point area.

It is widely stated that this is the terrace of Kubrick's penthouse apartment at 145 E. 84th St. NY or the roof of the same.

That comes from the address given on the UFO report that Kubrick submitted to the USAF on May 17, 1964 (he and Clarke saw a bright object, looked at it through the telescope, climbed to the roof for a better look, could not account for it and only later learned it was an Echo satellite.)

However, 145 was a new building, only built in 1963/4 and these surroundings don't look new to me. Equally, 145 had grey-white bricks and these bricks don't look that color and look older, more beat-up. Also 145 doesn't seem - at least now - to have a roof space that matches. It's very difficult to match the buildings alongside it as that area has changed so much since 1964, but they do have some distinctive features. There is a tower of some sort in the background of the two landscape images and some distinctive windows at the corner of a building next door. There may also be a church or some such building in the background of the portrait image.

I did wonder if it was instead not the roof of the Chelsea Hotel, where Arthur Clarke was staying, but that doesn't seem to fit. Nor does it seem to fit 239 Central Park West, where Kubrick moved later that year.

Anyone with a familiarity with photographs of NY of that period, please assist.

Hello guys !!

I'm on a trop in Netherlands for tulips Field and I would like to know if you know some of those places please ?

Thanks you for you help , and thanks you to Max to inspired us ! :)

I'm back with another photo mystery - I'm wondering where this picture was taken. It might be somewhere in the D.C. area, but I can't tell what the landmarks are. Any clues are appreciated!

To me it seems European. Help much appreciated! Don’t know if it is difficult.

Hi there, I’m not a big geoguesser player but hopefully you guys can help me out and this is an easy one for you but it will be very appreciated by me and my family. My mums whole family was on a ferry disaster in 1987 and everyone died expect my mum. This is a photo of my mums mum (my nan) and would love to know the location to possibly go there. Wish you all the best, thanks Todd :)

Good evening everyone,

I hope you’re doing well.

Could anyone assist with converting these coordinates, recorded in 2004, into a format compatible with Google Maps?

The map appears to use a Lambert II étendu system:

x: 925,325 y: 3,326,705 z: 2,287 m

The accompanying photo likely refers to the same location depicted on the map.

Thanks a lot everyone,

I wish you a pleasant day ahead.

I took this photo, but can't figure out which peak this is looking back at a trip I took.
