I've now done my first trip of 2016!
I thought I would leave the details of where I am for people to identify - if you don't want to play that game, it looks like Nos 4 and 6 have the GPS co-ordinates in EXIF... 1.01 The building on the north bank of the river  a99 * Minolta AF20 * f/3.2 * 1/60 * ISO 3200 1.02 A view from the bridge  a99 * Minolta AF20 * f/3.2 * 1/60 * ISO 3200 1.03 Also by the bridge  a99 * Minolta AF20 * f/3.2 * 1/60 * ISO 1600 1.04 Towers and entrances  a99 * Minolta AF20 * f/2.8 * 1/60 * ISO 2000 1.05 Arcade  a99 * Minolta AF20 * f/2.8 * 1/40 * ISO 6400 1.06 Guarding the entrance  a99 * Minolta AF20 * f/2.8 * 1/40 * ISO 6400 1.07 Christmas decorations  a99 * Sony 100 Macro * f/2.8 * 1/160 * ISO 100 1.08 Station frieze  a99 * Sony 100 Macro * f/2.8 * 1/100 * ISO 1250 1.09 Railing  a99 * Sony 100 Macro * f/2.8 * 1/100 * ISO 1600 1.10 Smiley prohibitive man...  a99 * Sony 100 Macro * f/2.8 * 1/200 * ISO 100 |

You keep knocking them out of the pitch for 6 Bob. Haven't got a clue where this is though......

Nice shots Bob, looks that it wasn't too warm there but you still too the luxury of taking two lenses. Hope that didn't mean you had to leave the extra coat at home.
 I really like 5, 7 and 9. Maybe 1 and 3 could do with some key stone correction. And as far as where this is my first thought was Wroclaw but the river I see in 2 is way too big for what I remember from there. But looking at building style it's probably somewhere in East Germany or Western Poland (the part that used to be Germany in the past). However I've never visited any other cities there so I didn't recognise the exact place. |

Definitely somewhere Middle European. I can't narrow it down any further because I hardly ever go east ...
Vienna, Prague, ...? They're all on my to do list. BTW: nice shots!

Great shots to start the New Years travels - I'd say it's Prague.

Providentiae Memor (1.05) in google lead me to Kingdom of Saxony, with capital Dresden. Google images confirmed.

Love the evening shots and would have gone for Dresden as well.
I like #4 and 5. #4 would benefit from a little correction I think. |

Spot on! Dresden it is... geographically very close to both Wroclaw and Prague, so they were very good guesses... |
