| Nov 25, 2019 at 16:47 | comment | added | user6485 | I don't want to make an answer that doesn't illustrate more general principles... just identifying this particular photo (or any other particular photo) doesn't help anyone else. And I didn't bring any particular expertise to bear except -- google for images of New York fountains park avenue. | |
| Nov 25, 2019 at 16:38 | comment | added | WilliamKF | @ColeValleyGirl Now that you say it, it sounds obvious! Not sure why I didn't think of the fountains as a key identifying landmark. Your comment seems like an answer, maybe convert it? | |
| Nov 25, 2019 at 7:04 | comment | added | user6485 | If you thought it was Park Avenue, you could have tried searching for images of Park Avenue with fountains in them. youtube.com/watch?v=uBf6kDWOcVA took five minutes to find and that's only one of many results of the search. | |
| Nov 25, 2019 at 1:55 | comment | added | WilliamKF | @ColeValleyGirl I looked for clues in the photo, I thought the best clue was the detection of the church like building in the reflection. I also thought about the street being two-way with a divider, which made me think of a major NYC street running North South. After that, I wasn't sure how to take action on those, other than asking others for ideas. Like what kind of Google search terms would be helpful? | |
