[vk2gwk]

Yes, probably Mount Wellington. When I was up there it was foggy.... :)

I knew it... Been there. But I just could not remember where and when. :)

[hqqns]

Yes, probably Mount Wellington. When I was up there it was foggy.... :)

More or less "country" - not Sydney.

[sparkin]

Hunter Valley ?

[vk2gwk]

Hunter Valley ?
Yes.

[sparkin]

There's a similar one in the Wollongong Botanic Gardens, but barring any major re-landscaping and renovation, it doesn't match properly.

[sparkin]

There's an even more similar one in the Hunter Valley Gardens, but they'd have to have had a flood for it to be this one:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/scorps_sting/5029394202/

[sparkin]

... but it could be this one, also Hunter Valley Gardens:

http://realtravel.com/dp-19084-0-muswellbrook_photos

That's the one, Sean! There are a couple of fairly similar ones in that area. The other one you found is in the park itself and has a different peak on top. The last one you found is in the "village" with tourist shops and restaurants.

Well done and over to you.

[sparkin]

There are a couple of fairly similar ones in that area.

There's even more than that - I found several with the basic same design, just differing in one way or another. I'll get something up soon.

[sparkin]

Here's a new one:

[tomd]

SW United States?

[sparkin]

SW United States?

S yes, W no, US yes.

[vk2gwk]

Has this got anything to do with "communications"?

[tomd]

reminds me of a guard/gate entrance for a military base.....

Texas?

[sparkin]

Has this got anything to do with "communications"?

Sort of, in a sense.

[sparkin]

reminds me of a guard/gate entrance for a military base.....

Texas?

Not Tx, and not a military base.

[vk2gwk]

Florida?

[rioni]

Around Fort Lauderdale?

[sparkin]

Florida?

Yes.

Around Fort Lauderdale?

No.

[rioni]

East or West Florida? I'm thinking south east due to the sea grape in back.

[sparkin]

East or West Florida? I'm thinking south east due to the sea grape in back.

On the Gulf side.

[rioni]

Naples? or north of there?

[sparkin]

Naples? or north of there?

North of Naples.

[BmanH]

North or south of Tampa?

[sparkin]

North or south of Tampa?

South.

[vk2gwk]

Fort Meyers (something to do with Edison?)

[sparkin]

Fort Meyers (something to do with Edison?)

Fairly near Fort Meyers, but not in Fort Meyers - just a few miles away. Nothing to do with Edison, so far as I can tell.

[rioni]

sanibel island?

[sparkin]

Yes, Sanibel - do you know where/what it is ?

[rioni]

yay :) looks like maybe an old guard tower or perhaps the base of a radio tower?

[sparkin]

yay :) looks like maybe an old guard tower or perhaps the base of a radio tower?

Neither of those, and it's the identity and location (they go hand in hand) that I'm after here. They also tie in to my response to Henk's question about communication earlier.

[monty28428]

Is it a loran station ?

[rioni]

Near the base of the light house?

or

landing strip across from Casa Ybel

[sparkin]

Is it a loran station ?

Not a loran - more like near range navigation than long range.

Near the base of the light house?

It's right at the base of the lighthouse, it fact the shadow on the ground in front of the white brick shed is the open framework of the lighthouse. I'll give it to Rioni, but what function could it have played for a lighthouse in the pre-electrified era ?

[rioni]

lighthouse keeper?

[rioni]

Dangerous seas + swimming... WAIN?

Good guess on oil house. No on Spain

[monty28428]

[rioni]

Yes, in Europe

[sparkin]

Yes Monty, it's the oil house, for the oil-fired lamps. Anyhow, all yours Rioni!
