I tried to solve willi1’s puzzle ‘A nice look’ using an old third party program named Circle Generator 2. I didn’t know that the current (free) Google Earth Pro (my version: 7.3.2.5491) has this functionality as well (Tools > Ruler > Circle). Given distances are in metres! The solution is obviously a Blue Dot image. I measured from the middle of the bridge (both SV images were captured from a bridge), and from the Blue Dot. Rule of First Post applies. I’m such a chauvinist .
Good luck!

Well done krenek and willi1!
This is what solving a (this) circle puzzle looks like. Note that, if only two circle centres and radii are given, there will be two intersection points, so you’ll have to spot the second one if the first doesn’t match the location you were looking for.
Solution (the two points that served as circle centres, and the location of the pub you had to find): Point 1: on the former island of Marken. 52.457157°N, 5.103926°E Point 2: in the equally picturesque village of Broek in Waterland. 52.435872°N, 4.992716°E The pub: Café ’t Monumentje, Amsterdam. 52.378500°N, 4.883135°E
