Help me find where this hotel was in Orlando in 1997?

Forgive me if this isn't the right spot for this but l've been looking for this hotel for years and it's driving me insane lol. I'm sure it doesn't exist anymore, and I only have two photos of it from 1997. It was my first ever trip to Disney world and universal at 10 years old and being able to find this hotel or even old photos of it would be amazing

All I know is it was close to Race rock, and centrally located to Disney universal and sea world. We flew into Orlando airport with AirTran, so it likely wouldn’t have been far from there either. I believe we stayed here March 1997

My mom guesses it was a holiday inn express but she has no proof or receipts or anything and I don't even think the express hotels were around back then but maybe it is. l've attached the photos. If anyone happens to remember this place and can help me place it, It would make my day!

Where exactly was the relaxing car drive meme recorded from?

We all seen this meme at least once in our lifetime (and left us traumatized lol) and got me thinking where exactly was this road recorded from? Because tbh the road is very scenic.

Where is this hand painted map?

Bought this painting at a goodwill a few years ago - have had many friends say they can figure out where it is but with no success. Any ideas?

Family picture of ruins from 1943: where could it be?

This family picture is labeled as "1943" and nothing else: where could it be?
These family members lived and moved around the south of France and Brussels, Belgium, during the war. But one of them also worked as an illegal taxi driver around free France, from example, or they had friends elsewhere, so really this could be anywhere. Thank you!

Where is the location this photo was taken based on the background?

I’m pretty sure I am being scammed by this girl.
— So can anyone tell me with any level of certainty based on the background in the photo which country or city in the United States this is?

Where is this film location?

This is a shot from the Danish movie Mænd og høns (Men and Chicken), which is set on a fictinonal island in the south of Denmark. The house most of the action takes place is actually an abandoned psychiatric hospital in Germany, but where is this road in reality? It could very well be a Danish isle, just not one I can find.

Photo is from Raymond Depardon, he made them in Glasgow in the 80s.

Probably somewhere south. I'd like to know the exact location today.

What is this sand/canyon in Chromecast screensaver??

This was shown as a screensaver during ambient mode on my Chromecast. The pink and purple blurs are just reflections of our lights. I have two questions:

  1. What is this showing?? Sand on a beach? A canyon on Earth?? Mars??? -- I put it through google lens and Gemini, and it's given me different answers in different sessions. One claimed it's the Candor Casma in the Valles Marineris on Mars, taken by the Viking 1 Orbiter (the terrain looked similar but I couldn't find a birds-eye view image that matched). Another session said Upper Mustang region of Nepal, this seemed less likely to me in terms of the color, but idk

  2. Is there any way to find the exact source photo? -- I've scrolled the repos below, but not seeing anything that matches.

Where was this picture taken?

My granny came from Caracas and on the day of her engagement, this picture was taken. It’s one of the few pictures I have. It was most likely taken somewhere in Caracas or in the state of Falcón, near Punto Fijo, or (less likely) on Curação. It was the early 40s. Any ideas where this picture was taken? My grandmother was born in an area of Caracas called Antímano in 1920. At the time, it was still quite rural. At the time the picture was taken, she was probably living in the El Placer area and had been a student at the San José de Tarbes school. My grandfather was involved in the planning of an oil refinery near Punto Fijo, but this might have been later. My grandmother traveled regularly, frequently visiting the Mérida area.

Can Anyone Identify the Country or Region in These Photos?

Hello everyone!
I found these images in videos posted on a YouTube channel called Riding Princess. I'm trying to identify the country or general region where the videos were filmed.
The images show green rural landscapes, distant mountain ranges, houses with metal-sheet roofs, and horses around rural properties.
I'm interested in identifying the general geographical region based on the landscape, vegetation, and architecture. I'm not trying to identify any private home or person.
If this scenery looks familiar, please share your best guess and explain the geographical clues that support it.
Thank you for your help!

Family Portrait Location (SE Asia, perhaps?)

I bought this picture of a family and thought it was incredibly unique. The man has many tattoos, and there are Chinese Characters on the stone behind them. I am less interested in who they are (I would think that would be impossible to find), but where they are located is of interest. I cannot determine the year, but on the back is written "Family. Shon" or "Shor", perhaps. I thought it could be "Shan". Perhaps someone will recognize the tattoo type or the stone...

French town, or perhaps Quebec?

I believe this town is in France, although it is a Real Photo Postcard and the reverse is in English, which could indicate a Canadian connection. Does anyone recognize it?

Deep in Galicia, Spain

Hello Folks!
Nana past away recently, and among her things we found pictures of a property. We believe it might be somewhere in Galicia, Nortwest of Spain. She was originally from there, and was the only one more or less in contact with the old country.

I've tried AIs to locate it unsuccessfully. Does any of you know where this can be?

Thank you very much in advance!

Foto in de Provence?

Cette photo a été prise en 1975 lors de notre voyage en France à bord d'une 2CV verte. Nous aimerions refaire ce voyage. La photo a dû être prise quelque part en Provence. La diapositive suivante a été prise dans les gorges de Méouge, et la suivante encore, au Mont Ventoux. Je pense donc que c'était entre Castellane et les gorges de Méouge. Je suis curieux.

My grandpa in Japan in the 1940s during WWII - curious if I can find out where he was?

My grandpa was stationed as an electrician during WWII, I’m unsure where exactly in Japan he was but this photo of him has the most scenic section of a town. I’m pretty sure it’s impossible to figure out where, as there’s a good chance this area he was in doesn’t exist anymore. But even if not, I’m trying to figure out what the Japanese characters in the ishi-doro (stone lantern) says - if anyone knows!
