Arnold Genthe

Here is the last set of Mr. Genthe's unlabeled photos of European scenes.

 Guessing Netherlands or Belgium

 

 Same as above

 

 My initial impression is Ireland but it could be anywhere

 

 My guess is Switzerland or Italy

 

 The massive monumental architecture looks Germanic to me

Final batch of Genthe's photos of Japan.

This is an enlargement of the sign posted on the beach in the above picture. 

Can anyone who reads Japanese translate it for us? My guess is it's 

something like "Men only to the right, women only to the left."

Arnold Genthe - Europe

Time to play "guess the country" again.

 Holland, Belgium or France, on the coast somewhere

 

 Holland, Belgium or France seems likely
[can't get this to upload in straight bw - Blogger makes it sepia!]

 

 Definitely Greece - old guys in white kilts tossing back shots of ouzo...

 

 Holland or Belgium is my guess

 

 Southern Europe - I can't get much more specific than that

 

 Avila, Spain (thanks to Xudros)

  

 Guessing France, Holland or Belgium here
