It's been pretty much SOP over here to give a yea/nay on a continent when one is mentioned.

There's nothing in this photo that is extraordinary other than the single parapet - even the river would be difficult to see on a map. It's an representative architectural style that runs pretty much from Denmark down to Croatia, with roofs become more uniformly red below Bratislava.

On a closer look at the photo, as these roofs are more mixed in color and the town appears to be more medieval (lack of any grid), it suggests Germany/Poland/Czech than farther south. But that's just an educated guess based on the (lack of) information in the photo.

As opposed to randomly guessing towns ad naseum, a "warm/cold" or "east/west/north/south" would be helpful.

Pay close attention to the picture. There are a few visual identifiers that narrow it down to less than a handful of old cities. You are in the correct area.

The one visual clue might be the "Blue" Danube? Since it doesn't look too wide at this point, then I would guess this is Germany.

I'm not seeing them.

However, the uniformity of the shoreline suggest it's a canal, not a river. Is that correct?

It is not the Danube river.

I think I've been in that area. Is it Füssen, Germany?
