I would guess northern Germany (because I know Germany has extensive satellite imagery available on Google Maps and MS Live Local), the Netherlands, Belgium, France or Denmark for the first one. The second one: somewhere Mediterranean.

Upon closer inspection, the cars in one photo are sporting yellow rear license plates which could be French, Dutch or maybe even British..

The second one is definitely Italy, I drove by it on my way to Siena from Florence. It's really bothering me that I can't remember its name!!!!
