Assuming that there is something easily identifiable in the foreground, and taken from an elevated position, how about Dover?

That was a good one CAT.  Kept my brain active for sure.  Next one folks ...Where is this - name of street and location?  Although I took this photo some 40 years or so ago, these buildings still remain.
