I perfectly agree with Ariejan. By the way, I didn't manage to find a city by the name of "Suruchanu" in todays Moldova and not in the Moldova region from the pre-WW1 era. The correct transcript of "Суручану" seems to be "Suruceanu", but there isn't a town by this name, either. Maybe the person who provided the photo could tell us more about the place where it was taken (the towers in the background appear to be quite characteristic for the Moldova region).

First of all I would like to remark, that the Benz on the second photo is not the same as the one in the Stellar run! Based on appearance the Stellar Benz I would like to suggest a 10/30 PS Runabout, built between 1912 and 1914. The other car seems be older and is probably a 14-30 PS Sportwagen of ca 1911.
