Pictures you didn't take

Friend of mine is a flight attendant and is currently in Venice for a layover.
Took this shot of a boatyard in Venice. I could watch them for hours working on repairing the wooden gondolas.

Whoah. Any info on that?

In case of lack of information, random speculation is also good.

Wow!
I tried looking into this, and the best I can come up with is a little French town called Saint Malo or maybe Alteh.

There's a good web site on it here. Which is where I found this old picture of a different pillbox in the area.

Seems these pillboxes sit on top of bunkers, so whoever was inside could have climbed down a ladder and run out the back of the hillside when the first few shells were glancing off the sides and weren't hitting directly yet.

OK, Zen, here's trick #2 for you. Pay attention because I don't want any injuries.

open a new tab and drag it away from your browser so you now have two browser windows. in your new browser window go to google image search.

drag the image you are curious about onto the search bar of the new browser. You'll then see a number of images, usually the same image, and you can choose the link to the site that looks most promising. Sometimes you'll only get visually similar images.
