This has to be done. Plant a furtive flag there and claim it for planet b3ta.

given the sheer size of hamburg and the lack of decent evidence we've got i'm not sure that would work :(
i'm going to try though

that's a very scottish thing to do. not that i know whether the hulk was scottish, or not

That's probably only if the image includes geotagging data.
It's possible that the higher resolution versions of the stock images contain that.

Nah I doubt that
I contacted the agency and their answer on my question about location was "probably Hamburg" but they didn't have any further details on location (even approximate) :(

I tried that approach but all comms go through the management team
The chap is 75 years old though, and the photo looks like it's at least 10 years old - can't see him remembering when or where he took a photo of a smug man with big gums and a croissant, when he's previously taken photos of Salvador Dali :D

The photo's age
explains why he's still so smug when he's got such a crappy laptop!

I have a pretty good idea how I'll die
drowning in a sewer somewhere chocking on a turd

i know how i want to die
either of an explosive orgasm or being taken down by a swat team in a hail of bullets, whilst i laugh maniacally on a rooftop after going utterly tonto with a minigun

good point
amundsen didn't freeze to death though, which in this loose analogy gives me a distinct advantage

true
he got to say how valiant scott was in public, then laugh his non-frozen bollocks off behind closed doors

my speech on returning home
"paul_p was a damned good man with a sewer and a camera. hamburg proved too much for him but he died a hero, a man i'm proud to have ever had the chance to compete against. god bless."

my dad loves germany
when he got home from there, he was forever going on about how lovely and clean it was. then again, he was near the black forest.

he was only there for 9 months in the 80's
doing the whole auf wiedersehn pet thing. i think they were working on thatched cottages. he brought me home a lovely pair of white leather snow white and the seven dwarfs clogs, though.

I've just been skimming central Hamburg with Google Maps
on satellite view...lots of similar-looking looking junctions, but nothing so far...

Good plan!
I spent a couple of days in Hamburg the other year, but there's nothing in the photos that I'd remember, even if it it somewhere I passed by.

Just to think
Somewhere in Hamburg there is a balcony where right now someone could be innocently sipping tea
