A Piece of Old World Charm

Take a crack at where this was shot

How well do you really know your hometown? If you've been here a few years and get out of the house much, you might have come across this fair maiden pouring water. But can you pinpoint her location?

(Editor's note: Novato Patch reader Barbara Ivy provided the correct answer in the comments below, so additional photos and a locator map have been added).

Each weekend, Novato Patch will take a photo in town — or share one sent in by a reader — and ask you to tell us where it was taken. If you know, enlighten everybody else by sharing your knowledge in the comments section of this story.

What's a stake? The first correct responder gets a hand-delivered prize from the face of Novato Patch. 

Occasionally, it takes quite a while for a reader to step up with the correct answer by posting a comment at the bottom of the story. Sometimes the first person to post a comment gets it right. Novato Patch will hold off giving the answer until at least Saturday afternoon if someone has nailed the answer.

Even after the correct answer is given, you can add to the conversation if you have the inside scoop on the details or history of that spot.

If you're identified as the winner, make sure to e-mail the editor at brent.ainsworth@patch.com so you can arrange a meeting to get the prize.

Novato Patch would love to have shots provided by readers, too. Send several shots to brent.ainsworth@patch.com with information about where it was taken. Make sure the digital images are large files of at least 300K, not thumbnail size that would turn out pixelated upon reproduction.
