That's the one, well done.

[RandallC]

Very interesting spire.

I have nothing handy, so will turn it over to the first taker.

[sparkin]

Well done Randy.

Sweeping generalizations aside (;)), the Irish must have a liking for giant metal spikes. I thought it was the one in Dublin, viewed over the top of some sort of church.

[RandallC]

I thought the same thing (and spent too much time poring over photos of Dublin as a result).

[Roy Mathers]

You're mixing with the wrong crowd!:)

[Roy Mathers]

A Mediterranean Island?

You're mixing with the wrong crowd!:)


Yes it is a Mediterranean island and I forgot to answer your question about Spain, the answer to which is also yes. That should narrow it down a bit!

[BmanH]

Majorca?

[Sir Plug]

A Canary??

[Roy Mathers]

A Canary??

The Canaries are not in the Mediterranean:)

[Roy Mathers]

Majorca?

Yes, it is Mallorca. I'm out for a few hours now, so I'll leave you to find out where this is and catch up later.

[bara03]

Port de Pollenca?

[Sir Plug]

The Canaries are not in the Mediterranean:)

Geography was never a strong point!!!:oops:

[Sir Plug]

Porto Cristo?

[BmanH]

[Kendoway]

If you look at the landscape in the far distance of this shot, you'll see it's 100% identical to Roy's.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/renschmensch/3105101801/

So this is either adjacent to pier where Roy shot his, or they've changed the brickwork and boat cleats.

[Sir Plug]

That's the place.......

[glhs509]

My money is on Bara's guess...

[Roy Mathers]

Your bet is safe Ken - Bara has indeed got it. Over to you Bara.

[bara03]

[bara03]

Well done Monty, it's yours.

[bara03]

oops

[Roy Mathers]

You didn't remember those massive red doors Roy?


I think they must have been re-painted not long before this picture was taken. It's funny, but I kept looking at the picture and thinking that it looked very familiar - duh! I've even been in it a couple of times for concerts and recitals!

In my defence, I will say that I used to walk past it right next to it - it looks different from the other side of the road!

[Sir Plug]
