I love creating a challenging game, so Image #1 (left) probably won't help you very much. Remember the show, Name That Tune? Hardly anyone ever guessed correctly with only one note. I promise, they'll get easier. But on the subject of this photo, I'm really looking forward to spring; I love flowers in bloom. Since I'm currently living in the Netherlands, and this will be my first spring in the land of tulips, I thought these beautiful arrangements from a shopping area in today's U.S. city were quite appropriate.
Another game this week for Where Oh Where Wednesday! All photos are from the same city in the United States, and hopefully, by the last image, you'll be able to venture an accurate hypothesis. But don't wait until the last image; start guessing with Image #1! I dug into my archives for today's pics. They're from a wonderful trip in June 2011 with one of my best friends. I love creating a challenging game, so Image #1 (left) probably won't help you very much. Remember the show, Name That Tune? Hardly anyone ever guessed correctly with only one note.

Since I'm currently living in the Netherlands, and this will be my first spring in the land of tulips, I thought these beautiful arrangements from a shopping area in today's U.S. city were quite appropriate. Image #2 (above) is the outdoor labyrinth, one of two at Grace Cathedral in today's mystery city. The sea lions on the pier in Image #3 (above) are quite famous, as is the pier itself! How confident are you with your hypothesis so far? You may want to zoom in on the middle of Image #4 (above) taken from the restaurant where we ate lunch the first day. You'll see a familiar structure in the distance. Ignore the bird poop on the windows! Though it was a foggy day, you can see the bridge in Image #5 (above) more clearly now. I bet some of you have the correct answer now! There's one more picture though. In today's final picture, Image #6 (above), you can see another of this city's favorite tourist attractions, an island known as "The Rock". Though we didn't visit that trip, I'd love to return and take a short boat excursion to the island--the site of the first lighthouse and U.S. fort on the west coast (my last big hint). Have you figured out the city yet? Head on over to Instagram to see if you're correct!

What a great idea for a series! I have to admit I was stumped until the Golden Gate Bridge photo. Terrific!

Has to be San Fransisco, though I didn't know it until I got to the bridge :D We're heading to San Fran in a months time, didn't know there were so many sea lions!

HI, I have never been to US:) And I might not have recognized even after 20 photos. Oh dear, I need to improve my geography knowledge...

Very clever idea! I didn't know until I saw the iconic Golden Gate Bridge.
