    Does anyone recognize what city this image is from?
    The back of the card simply says "Post Card" and "(For Address Only)" on right side (it's a divided back).

    Thanks to Manug for identifying this as Udaipur in Rajastan! :cool:

    My question for you now, Manu, is how you found this. Did you recognize the building immediately when you saw it? Did you have an idea that it was in India somewhere and searched through many images from India? Is there some magical way to search for images that I don't know about?

    Thanks for your help,

    Alan

    Hi again Alan,

    Well, I started by showing it around to a few people who travel a bit, one of them gave me a vague answer: probably India, maybe Indonesia, Asia anyway...
    I looked at Indian postcards on D*, found some views of Jaipur which looked a lot like it: so it was India, and I was sure it was Jaipur but without the right picture, I couldn't prove it!
    So I waited a bit more for my friends and some fellow Delcampers to give their opinion. :znaika:
    Last night I looked for it again, googled some pics for Jaipur: again it was naggingly (?) close but... then on a page, there was an 'other cities' link, and that was it!

    Usually I use the (huuuuuge) D* 'database' and (sloooow) search engine first: this works well for searches in France because of the millions of PCs. But with only a few thousands for India, and just one or two of that palace that don't even look like yours, it wouldn't have worked... :dunno:

    Bye!
    Manu :beer:
