Modern Vespa

It's not Lakes Mead or Powell. Last hint. It's miles and miles and miles and miles away. Which isn't really a clue. I'll say this. First man made lake in AZ. There, I've given it away.

Well, the cup in the foreground only seems to show up in the hands of Japanese influencer girls on Instagram.

The leather chairs appear to be the Pot Lounge chair by Arne Jacobsen for Fritz Hansen, which were originally designed in 1959 for the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen.

And while the skyline behind you seems to include something that looks vaguely like the Transamerica Pyramid, I am pretty sure (after zooming in) that it's just a radio tower.

I was actually obliquely guessing Theodore Roosevelt Lake when I suggested you might be fishing for largemouth bass -- and Theodore Roosevelt Lake is one of TWO contenders for the title of "Arizona's first man-made lake", the other being Rainbow Lake.

But I think it's Theodore Roosevelt Lake.

Then I'll say Rainbow Lake .

could it be the Tokyo Tower?

Using Google Earth to rotate around the Tokyo Tower, I was eventually able to determine that the skyline seen out the window must be from the Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho building in Tokyo's Chiyoda ward.

Indeed, this photo from the lobby of the hotel within the building matches the interior decor shown in besupa's photo.



(Tip o' the hat to fleece for calling out the Tokyo Tower).

and you also found out what he was drinking

An oddball Stately(ish) Home:

That be Calke Abbey in Derbyshire England.

The flag flying above signifies the Harpur-Crewe family coat of arms.

Ha, yes! The Prince Gallery Hotel, 36th floor, in the building as described! Very impressed.

The donut bag is from "I'm donut?", a little bit away (and face-meltingly good) and the coffee is from The City Bakery on the ground floor of the same building.

Roosevelt lake it is, and down quite a bit as the monsoon this year was a dud. Well done.

Let's start a subtopic: WAIT (What Airport Is This). Should be limited to airports you are actually in at the moment (as I am the one below).

This should not be difficult to guess in my case.

I'd be surprised if it isn't Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport

I will struggle to particpate much to this sub topic as I have done my allotted flying for this decade earlier in the month, I much prefer Ferries or the Eurotunnel to go abroad.

it's been a while but I think it could possibly may be if I'm not mistaken..


Porto?

Where is Scarlett?

WAIT

there sure are a lot of lakes and reservoirs in your part of the world..

I'll have a stab at Loch Lomond Lake?

Nope, but you are in the right state

Barcelona?

Fernando Botero has always been a favorite of mine

OK, crushed grapes on cobblestones. But why is it specifically pointing to Portugal or Porto?
There are many countries with cobblestones, as in my own country, and growing grapes, as in my own country.

Right you are!

WAIT
Don't you think it is a bit too limiting? How many of us here are actually at this moment in an airport?

Speaking of lakes where was I on this old scoot of mine?

Ding ding! Off on another adventure. More photos later.

I prefer this entire thread to be in the moment — as a live travelogue.

As I stated above, many of you know I reside part-time in Porto. Inference is part of the process.

Also, the size of the cobblestones narrows it down.

And finally, someone who gave it some thought and effort nailed it. So there's that.

New location.

LOVE IT.

Apache Lake?

That's the L.O.V.E. sculpture in Milan Italy, which is in front of the Italian Stock Exchange

Right you are!

More from Milan:

Wrong river.

Saguaro Lake?

Dang, was guessing based on the sightline. Bartlett?

Home in one!

You found the right river. Correct!

Been meaning to do that ride. Nobody ever wants to go up there when I'm in Phoenix.

Not at this time of year. That pic is on the road to Horseshoe lake, before it turns to dirt. That scoot was scary on dirt.
