    • Cars:
      • Drive on right,
      • Divided highway
      • two lanes each side
      • white paint dashed between lanes
    • Fields are cultivated (top right)
    • Train:
      • Three cars
      • Possibly passenger
      • Can't see overhead wires or not
      • Different coloured faces on the ends - I know England does this, but the drive-on side is wrong for them
      • Lowest car has two dark smudges on roof - either pantographs or exhausts..

    I'm guessing Europe or maybe America.
    Probably not china :)

    Light from upper right: either pix rotated or southern hemisphere.

    Larger red roofed building in 1st pic is asymmetric. Looks to be a crossing gate diagonally across road below train, small irregular fields. Small passenger train? I think not USA.

    Second pic has athletic track/field in lower right, and a blue turntable in center left.:tb-wink:

    <jedi hand wave>This is not the blue turntable you are looking for.</jedi hand wave>

    Drive on right rules out any of the islands around me;
    I like Europe for this; reminds me of Eastern France or Germany.
    That athletic field implies there's a fairly large town here-abouts - they tend not to put something that big and pretty out in the wilderness.
    Not that I can say the same for little blue turntables! [​IMG]

    aah, he makes us work for them. And secretly we enjoy it! :tb-biggrin:

    OK, sticking my neck out again: There is a ball diamond SE of the pin.

    Therefore: western hemisphere (not Japan, cause they drive on the left). Probably north of the equator (mostly futbol fields down south, not beisbol... but Brasil has some...).

    Bob in IDaho, tired of looking for blue TTs.

    Well, this answer was wrong... John Grisham wrote about football in Italy, not baseball. But anyway, there is some baseball activity in Europe. We even had a small but relatifly succesful club in our small town for a few years.
