No, not far too easy in my estimation (it lasted more than 30 minutes), but easy enough in the end. This one is Gibraltar.

At least I remembered to remove the date & the cruise terminal name but yes, it's Gibraltar.

[Host Hattie]

Not a lot to go on here but it's a repeat port.

Arrecife?

[Lanky Lad]

The bus will give you a clue to this one.

Correct, maybe the bus made it too easy.

I'm going with Odessa, Ukraine for this one. Both for the Battleship Potemkin reference and from matching elements of the photo.

And finally, with this photo I'm afraid I've reached the end of my port+ship photos.  I saved it for last because I thought it might be too hard.  But having seen the detective skills on display in this thread, perhaps it is easier than I thought.  QE moored at pier.

 

Once again this one took me much longer than it should have. This is Aomori, Japan.

[sfred]

@bluemarble your image processing skills are amazing.  It is indeed Aomori, with the triangular building at the cruise pier entrance providing a key clue.  Photo taken on 7 May 2019, one of two Japan port calls on the journey from Tokyo to Alaska. 

[bluemarble]

@sfred, I'm afraid my image processing skills let me down for awhile on that one. I spent way too much time trying to locate companies named "AMC" with the logo on that building to the far right. Turns out that's the Aomori Marine Park Clinic also known as the Aoiumi Park Clinic. I had also looked at Aomori cruise port views earlier in the day and somehow managed to reject the idea that the triangular building I was seeing face-on in those views was the same triangular building I was seeing mostly side-on in your photo. It all finally clicked for me though. That photo was a very interesting challenge.

Here are a couple QE bridge webcam shots taken a few hours apart during one of her "Cruise By" calls. Can you name this location?

Sorry I've only just seen this, it was a Mediterranean cruise.

We visited here as part of a private tour.

That looks like the Sanctuary of Poseidon, so Piraeus?

[Host Hattie]

Yes it was Piraeus again, I'm running out of photos as well !

I'll try some more even if I have lost track which ports were already covered.

Thus here the first two photographs of the same port.

We have covered this port before, but we have covered many ports more than once on this thread, so don't be too concerned about that. We haven't previously seen the terminal buildings at this port, so this is an entirely different angle.

 

I think this is Cadiz, Spain.

[Host Hattie]

I posted Cadiz last time and I didn't recognise this 😂

[Lanky Lad]

I might have to get my scanner out and scan some photographs as I am running low on new ports.

[Lanky Lad]

A nice easy one

Even for us Aussies stranded here on the opposite side of the planet, the Firth of Forth in Scotland is memorable and distinctive.  Nice photo with the ship.

Thanks.  Yes the Forth bridge is unlike any other.
