    Here is a postcard showing some sort of resort/harbor/beach area. On the back is printed the word Menzel. any idea where this is so I can put it in the right category? a search on the web yields too many options to be sure.
    thanks in advance for any help!

    I did a Google search on images and the only one not of a person with that name was of a resort at Jebel Menzel in Tunisia

    If you do likewise you may be able to compare the picture with your card

    I managed to get to your flickr image. It doesn't look like Tunisia to me.

    See if the link works now: // Link (http)

    I;m really struggling here - the card is obviously NOT Tunisia, but I've been unable to locate any other Menzel (other than people) apart from a lunar crater, a young bipolar planetary nebula or an asteroid

    Is it possible that 'Menzel' is the publisher or photographer?

    there is a Menzel in Holland, but it's completely landlocked. So obviously not that either.

    Thanks for all of your responses and finding ways around this weird issue with the images and then links not fully cooperating!

    Yes, it's possible that Menzel is the publisher or photographer. It's just that Menzel is printed in as large a type as the words Post Card across the top and these are the only words printed on the back; Menzel created a mystery postcard if Menzel is a person.

    There are flags on the backs of the 2 largest boats but the resolution isn't good enough to identify them.

    This one's going into the 'To Identify' category for a couple bucks; maybe someone will see it and id it, or find a treasure.
