Please tell me everything you know about this expedition. Identifying the man and the approximate time will be worth a point.

Experts?

Is this a picture of an around the world type of expedition?

pnegyesi · May 09, 2011, 07:42:58 AM

Yes

pnegyesi · May 14, 2011, 12:26:48 PM

Professionals?

guido66 · May 14, 2011, 04:49:04 PM

Does it say Norway on the rear wheel? Was the picture taken in Kristianstad, Sweden?

pnegyesi · May 14, 2011, 11:42:09 PM

The picture was definitely not taken in Sweden, though it may say Norway on the rear wheel

guido66 · May 15, 2011, 09:09:14 AM

Is the year 1933?

neilshouse · May 15, 2011, 09:55:36 AM

Is there a connection to Aloha Wanderwell?

pnegyesi · May 15, 2011, 11:48:34 AM

I'm not aware of any

;)?

pnegyesi · May 15, 2011, 11:58:43 AM

Yes, the picture is from 1933 - sorry missed your earlier question

guido66 · May 15, 2011, 01:07:20 PM

Danish-American Alaska expedition?

pnegyesi · May 15, 2011, 01:24:32 PM

Nope

guido66 · May 15, 2011, 02:15:18 PM

Was the photo taken in a Scandinavian country?

pnegyesi · May 15, 2011, 11:24:07 PM

Nope

guido66 · May 16, 2011, 01:24:45 AM

The Netherlands?

pnegyesi · May 16, 2011, 02:36:02 AM

This photo itself wasn't taken in The Netherlands... (hint, hint)

guido66 · May 16, 2011, 05:27:07 AM

So the left car does have a Dutch registration? L-4 is a very low number, so it must have been an important person in Utrecht.

pnegyesi · May 16, 2011, 05:38:38 AM

This expedition has strong Dutch connections

guido66 · May 16, 2011, 02:13:14 PM

A bit of architectural puzzling has convinced me that it must be in Kristianstad. The 1st photo is from before the 1936-1940 extension and modification of the city hall, during which time they also must have altered the facade slightly. The 2nd photo is a present day detail of the "Pax Vobis" inscription.

pnegyesi · May 16, 2011, 02:25:55 PM

It is not Kristianstad. Photo-location is not important - I think

guido66 · May 16, 2011, 02:43:07 PM

I know that I'm stubborn but I'm convinced that your source is wrong about the city. ::) Anyway, Kristianstad seems to be a dead end, so I'll take another approach:

Was it a pole to pole journey?

DeAutogids · May 16, 2011, 03:27:43 PM

Any connection with Norway?

Allemano · May 16, 2011, 03:36:23 PM

Even though it might be not important for solving this puzzle I guess guido66 is right saying that these buildings are identical. Even the neighbour building is the same.
