“Below are four pictures of steeples…. I'm quite taken with steeples,
finding them fascinating, and love to take photos of them as I travel
around. Which of these is the oldest steeple? Identify each steeple
and give its construction date?”

Image Searching – Worked Example
Finding the answers….
Go back to the question: “Which of these is the oldest steeple? Identify
each steeple and give its construction date?” There is an assumption in
the question that all 4 steeples are linked or connected in some way.
Note how St Michael’s Church is described in the Google description: “St.
Michael's Church, is one of Hamburg's five Lutheran main churches…”
Look for information on the other 4 churches / search for images of
<Hamburg Steeples> / <Hamburg churches> on Flickr, Google Images,
etc. (Take care not to make assumption all steeples are from churches!)
The 4 steeples are
St Catherines
(rebuilt in 1957),

The Rathaus
(1897).
St Nicolai (1874)
St Michaelis
(rebuilt 1952).
