#422…

Ames, Iowa.

3

Not even on the right continent!

4

(Welcome back Brother Lion - long time, no roar heard here.)

5

Hey, Brother Lion’s back! How cool is that?

Now the problem, I have no idea where that railroad station is! Looking for the hdden lion in the subway was easy compared to this!

Let me take a SWAG. Germany?

PS: I tried enlarging the photo for some clues, but the resolution’s not that good. I couldn’t see any Mercedes, Porsches, BMW’s, VW’s, or Tiger tanks for that matter anywhere!

6

ABSOLUTELY! [swg] [#welcome] Thought you’d forgotten all

about us![(-D]

7

As near as I can see, it is not electified track, it has ten through tracks and per your reply it is not in North America. Clues would be benificial.

8

I’m thinking that it might be electrified, I can see faint blue lines that are perpindicular to the tracks and are parallel to each other so maybe.

9

Hmmm… did you notice the transit lines in the upper righty corner?

ROAR

10

Oh I suspect that is good enough considering that it was taken from a satellite.

11

Rome ?

12

I sort of recall (maybe?) That Lion took a trip overseas. Is this photo from Ireland by chance?

13

Rome? Ireland? Lion never been to Europe. Havent been outside of USA in almost 40 years.

Here is the inside of said station.

ROARING

14

Well there’s a “Micky-D’s” ad on the wall, but that doesn’t tell me anything, “Micky-D’s” is world-wide.

What’s really frustrating is I can’t find the fuzzy little lion anywhere!

Lady Firestorm has a guess. “Shining Time Station?”

15

But they sure don’t start an advertising blurb for Big Macs with a capital K most of those places, do they?

I was going to say that this looks like that Belgian station that was in the viral dance video a few months ago. But I’m thinking more Scandinavian now, or perhaps Dutch…

16

Kiev, Ukraine ?

17

I’ve been there! And yes, there were several McDonald’s. Even ate at one, and I had never been so happy to have a drink with ICE in it!

Taking the night train from Lviv to Kyiv.

18

Well, there we are: Kiev Ukraine

Another one soon.

19

I was thinking that the Micky D’s sign looked to be written in Russian characters.

20

Very neat pictures! That must have been a great trip.

I think it’s amazing that with how much Ukraine was in the news the past months, I had very little idea how beautiful it was.
