Can you guess the location?

LaFoto · Aug 4, 2005

These photos were taken in 1977, by a then 17-year-old Corinna (who had no idea, not even the tiniest clue that once in the future she would be in touch with people all over the world as "LaFoto" on an internet forum - a thing that was never heard of at the time!).

No crows.
Just a cemetary - but where? The hints are enormous! Guess, will you?

All photos are scans from colour slides that nowadays show severe signs of wrong storage... probably taken with a tiny but good Rollei35.

well judging by the Russian flags in the last picture..........Russia?

deveel · Aug 4, 2005

I guess I know ... but I want to keep this up a bit ... Is it right that they have famous beer arount that place?

LaFoto · Aug 4, 2005

No. Russia is wrong.

Remember: these were taken in 1977.

New hint: go by the names of the people buried in their respective graves

Deveel is closer. Yes, their beer is famous

and tasty, yum :drool:

I cant, but, nice images...bit dark tbh, but you can see from these shots you were off to a good start LaFoto!

is it czech? if i googled correctly, it has something to do with music or opera.

LaFoto · Aug 4, 2005

Music is good!

deveel · Aug 4, 2005

and czech is good, isn't it ?

LaFoto · Aug 4, 2005

Oh yes, I forgot: Czech as an overall idea of what "nationality" this cemetary is, is good, too!

mentos_007 · Aug 4, 2005

Definitely not taken in Poland...in 1977 no Czeh people would come to Poland... we didn't like each other then

Ta-daaa, ta-daaa, ta-daaa

Becky wins the prize!

(Erm, which prize?)

Yes, this cemetary is in Prague, and it is just a normal one, none for famous Czechs, only have the two Czech composers Antonin Dvorak and Frederic Smetana both been buried there. But it is not easy to find Smetana's grave. It is ever so much just one out of many (or was, way back then). But I was determined to find these two musician's graves at the time! I even then loved their music (and still do!)
