BINGO! It is near Ulm

the tall structure is the Schapfen-Mill-Tower.
It is the second highest storage silo of the world.

the original pic ( http://www.panoramio.com/photo/6108573 ) was taken from a hill NE of Ulm's center

and here is the exact location:
48° 25' 57.20" N
9° 58' 58.09" E
(post : 48° 25' 57.20", 9° 58' 58.09" at GE-search-field)

wow. Very interesting. It was the 120k inhabitants clue that helped me find it. Otherwise, I would have never guessed Ulm.

here is the next one




RULES:
- people who live in that city/place; traveled to that city/place recently or frequently are not allowed to guess it to give others a chance.

- pls name not more than 3 cities in 1 post

- i will give no hints and no reply about continent-guess at the start;
but maybe later, if it is too difficult

Thanks and GOOD LUCK
