Potala Palace in Lhasa

No. I think Potala Palace is a lot grander than this.

 

[LAZyNPL]

Answer from Google count or not??
yumbu lhakhang palace.

 

[brainfreeze]

Zhongshan Castle, in Gyantse?!?

 

[ZerocoolAstra]

Let's try this.

Looks like this place in this person's Flickr photostream

Gyantse, Tibet?

 

[bruggink]

It's not Yumbu Lhakhang Palace. The correct answer is Gyantse Castle.

brainfreeze n ZerocoolAstra got the correct answer but brainfreeze posted first. So it will be brainfreeze's turn.

ZerocoolAstra, i don't know if you came across the picture by chance or really spent time searching in flickr. If it's the latter, I salute you for the effort! :thumbsup:

It was partial searching through Flickr but making use of the previous responses/guesses to 'aid' in my search. Nothing to salute. Should be appalled instead

here's my photo

Looks kind of European. Seems somehow similar to the red buildings in Malacca, so I wonder if this is Dutch architecture.

 

[toxicboy]

Roman round and triangular architraves, tall chimneys (temperate), red bricks.
But Dutch mouldings below the architraves tend to be concave rather than convex.
Possibly UK?

 

[Fantasy747]

It's getting harder and harder. Now it's like do you know the building competition

 

[brainfreeze]

Yes, it's in UK. Just need to tell me the place and i'm ok with it already.
clue: it's a palace, to narrowdown your google search.

 

[bruggink]

St James's Palace. My wild guess.

 

[brainfreeze]

bruggink, it's not St James Palace. I think this is one of the smallest palace among the royal palaces in UK.
Btw, I have to commend ZerocoolAstra and toxicboy for their detailed analysis. You guys are correct of its dutch inspired architecture.

hehehe

is it Kew Palace?
Kew Palace was built in 1631 by Samuel Fortrey, a merchant of Dutch origin, and this is clear to see with its many Dutch design features, including of course its red brick Dutch gables and large, tall windows.

Correct, your turn now.

 

[ZerocoolAstra]

Correct, your turn now.

WAH! :vhappy:


Ok I think this is pretty easy.

Probably quite a number of Singaporeans have gone to this city for their holidays.

Name the building

 

[toxicboy]

Obvious sign of new grey spires, concrete + large glazed panelled building extension works upon old stonework structures in the background.
St Mary's Cathedral, East Perth, Western Australia.

WAH! :vhappy:

Well actually it was a lucky shot - from your very helpful hint, I searched Melbourne, then Perth, and viola, there it was!
