Where in the world is this place?

[Dave T]

The photo is small but I think I do not need additional clues. Let me sleep on it.

It's not Dubai, I know.

[Dave T]

Portsmouth, England.

Never been there.

Any commentary?

Next:
Never been here, either.

Dave - CORRECT. It is Portsmouth, England. Also known locally as Pompey - link to Pompeii above!

Now to your teaser ,,,,,,,??????

Okay Friends if you find this one you're really skilled one hint it's in Russia.

[Gepe]

Volgograd. "The Motherland Calls"
Dave - no idea for your picture.

GEPE you need to exclude yourself you're too skilled ;-) Ancient name Stalingrad

[Gepe]

swisssaabist, thank you for the compliment.
Nobody is above comparison. We are ALL skilled in something. I just happened to be VERY LUCKY.

I will exclude myself from Dave T's picture 522. (but I think I know that one also!)

[Dave T]

post 522 is the current photo

hints:
Europe
major government building

[Gepe]

As I have to many - this must be an ex-communist state (not been there!).
After a week in Donegal thinking is a bit difficult.

Post 522 thinking is the Romanian people's palace built by Ceaucescu's
