Lasse - Good idea bout post cards...
(I certainly have been using google images with appropriate
adjectives) . ... and I have collected and sold old postcards on ebay
myself. It occurs to me the "church" might not be a church but a civic
building of some sort...
I was thinking some sort of monastery or convent?
I've been selling on ebay for 10 years... on the whole , at least on my
side of the pond (ebay USA is a thing unto itself - which is an
annoyance ) google is more efficient even when looking for ebay things
on ebay...
Yes, now I recall that you have reported on some of your ebay activities.
I haven't been using google for looking for things on ebay, but I believe
you in google being efficient.
I've also posted a couple of the shots on my facebook page which goes
across my various "communities"
I saw them, but they are rather small.
Anyway, it's both interesting and entertaining trying to resolve photo
mysteries as to where and when, particularly when sometimes you
investigations are successful or you get lucky.
Good luck,
Lasse
best,
ann

Hi Ann,
Unfortunately I don't know where your pictures were taken.
However, I was just thinking that one way of trying to find places
where there are hotels or other prominent buildings etc. could be
searching postcards sold on ebay (in case you haven't yet tried that).
For instance here's a link which will give you postcards from Florida.
(Maybe you alreday know how to do searches on other places. Also note
that you can change the way they are sorted and presented - ending
soonest, newly listed etc.)

or the same link as a tiny url:

Good luck.
