Seaside view in France ?
I can't find where this photo was taken. I think it's in the west of France near Brest, but the mountains behind make that impossible... Please help me

Anyone know where this Daniel Ricciardo ad was shot? Either the resort/villa or the mountains he's driving in. Probably somewhere in the US!

Orlando Area Public Dock
I've been scouring Google maps looking for the Orlando, FL area public city park dock in the following video to no avail. I'm usually good at locating these types of things, but this one has eluded me.
Points of interest:
- The host of the video says it is a "city park" dock in the Orlando area.
- Part of the dock has a roof over it as can be seen near the end of the video
- The area under the roof has a wrap around bench
- The dock sections are connected with beams taller than the railing
- The lake does not appear to be a large one
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Where is this room from Tomodachi Life?
I've been stumped by this interior from the game Tomodachi Life, which is clearly a photo sphere of a real-life location. The streamer Big Yellow recently mentioned wanting to know where this was taken, and I thought I'd rise to the challenge, but the low quality of the images and the lack of streetview/similar data at places where this could be has me turning to you all for help. If anyone has any techniques or thoughts on where it is, please let me know! My best guess is the Swiss prealps or Alps proper, given the appearance of limestone cliffs, wild (feral) horses, and general vibe.
EDIT: After consulting with some Swiss, it looks like it is probably not that country. Looking for any other thoughts!

Splash screen for Microsoft Home in the 90s; is this Hawaii?
I've searched for this one myself quite a bit with Google maps, but not had luck. It looks like Hawaii to me, but I can't find a golf course that looks out over a bay or inlet like that. No particular reason I'm looking, just interested if it can be found!

A photo we believe my great grandad took, he kept it on his wall. We're pretty sure he was in the RAF during WWII and it was taken during that time. Any ideas? Thanks!

Does anyone know where this might be, it is a screenshot a friend sent me of somewhere in Australia.
One of my friends sent me a screenshot from a video that he had onces seen before, and task me with finding, as neither of us know where it is, but I have gotten to a point where I dont know where to look anymore.
I am planing to travel to Australia one day and would like to vist this, so if anyone got any clue to where this might be, please help.
He told me that he remembers that it might be near Gold Coast.

Any clue where this is?
The clothes suggest Eastern Europe but not the Nike’s or the firearm

Where was this taken? Likely early 1960s, highest likelihood is somewhere in the LA area where my family lived. My best guess is San Pedro, but my aunt doesn't remember

Where was this photo taken, somewhere in Japan/Korea? My grandpa during the Korean War.

Ukraine, cafe, stormtrooper bust
I found this photo on a telegram channel. There are no geotags. From what we know, this coffee shop is located in Ukraine. The author does not answer about the location.

Found an old photograph, but I can't read the back! Where is this cliff face?
The back gives a clue to where/what it is, but I can't read the handwriting. Another photo in the same box said "A Castle of the Rhine" - maybe that will help give context. I'll attach the back of the picture in the comments!

Poster on the wall at a Medical facility.
Looks like a great vacation spot, guessing BC or northern Italy but have had no luck searching on my own.

I am dying to know where this basketball court in the Michelob Ultra commercial is- I can’t find it anywhere and it’s driving me insane.
It aired during the superbowl I believe, several months ago, and I have been trying to hunt down the location ever since. I honestly can’t tell you why it’s driving me crazy, there’s no good reason. Looks like a pretty cool place tho. Seems like it’s probably a well known city in the US, but I’ve barely traveled so I’m not good at recognizing places.
Please. Please someone know.
