That's the trick. The skill is in observing what's in the picture. Your knowledge helps with that, but sometimes it's just plain observation. If you know enough that a particular church has a Russian Orthodox look to it, then that's going to narrow your search down considerably.

But then other times your knowledge hurts you. Like if you are looking for totem poles in the Pacific when the pole is really in Delaware.
