So it was a Civil War town after all and a very significant one. The first shots of that war were fired here. Next time in town visit Ft. Sumter then head to downtown Charlestown for a few shots of your own.
Savannah, GA?
Norfolk, VA?
Charleston?
This is a good one Paul. As much as you have a million or so pics from NYC, the palm tree’s toss that location out. I’m guessing a decent size city. Outskirts of Miami or Malaga, Spain. So I got each side of the Atlantic covered for a start for every one guessing. The main statue in the square looks European leaning more to an Italian site but the general environment of the scene simply could be a US location. Hope that clears everything up. Why are there so many leafless tree’s as the folks walking about are dressed as if it is warm out.
Editor’s clue: This is America on the east coast. It is not in the northeast.
