I'll venture a wild guess - Munich?

Fred has it. The "Chinese Pavilion" (a beer garden) is in the middle of the Englischer Garten in Munich, Germany. The Park is bigger than Central Park in New York and is wonderful in summer and winter alike. The first picture is of an iconic tram/bus station next to the park called "Münchner Freiheit", and when I was working in Munich I lived in a flat just off the picture. This is in the middle of an area called "Schwabing" which is the part of town with all the live music, theatres and nightclubs so I loved living there!

Zanshin, I walked through this park about 30 years ago to get from my hotel to Schwabing. I recall asking the desk clerk if it was safe to walk there after dark and he looked at me like I was crazy - "of course it's safe to walk in the park anytime" he said. I couldn't remember the park's name, but something in the back of my mind told me there was an exotic structure there and hence my guess.
Well, on with the show. I scrounged this picture up in my disorganized sd cards, but I won't have many follow-ups so here goes.

I thought for sure someone would have gotten their vaccine here - guess not. Here is another clue.

Before it gets too late for our European/UK friends, here's another. Sorry for the fuzzy picture, but my others are all dead giveaways.

xrayman--that's what I thought, but don't have a picture to post.

Adrian, you are correct and what was your clue? I'm curious if it's the subtle ones for which I posted the picture. Here is an example of one of the dead giveaways I had left.
Adrian is up, and time for a new thread.

Don't know about Adrian, but I thought the picture showed Hemingway and that led me to Havana.

Carol, that was why I posted it, but thought it might be too fuzzy for many to realize it was Hemingway without careful scrutiny. However, with the recent PBS documentary, that may have him more on the minds of US folks.

Actually watched "Hemingway and Gellhorn" on HBO Max just the other night. Hemingway was the kicker, but before that I was leaning toward San Juan.

I didn't watch the Hemingway thing, as I was under the impression it was a multi-part deal? It seems like I always miss parts of them.

PBS had a multi part docu series a couple weeks ago. It anyone wants to start a new thread, go ahead. Otherwise I'll start one this evening.
