This is the Bahrain World Trade Centre, in...Bahrain!

This was just a patch of sea when I lived in Bahrain 25 years ago.

Smeagol in the chair.

It will have to be OH as I am out tonight and driving to Cornwall tomorrow.

Well, almost a week has elapsed and no-one has posted so I will.

This is a very famous 'castle' from an unusual angle.

Aha, got a clue from the "boring & pointless" thread-----I do believe this is about 10 miles and a walk at low time from Helston..... St. Michaels Mount maybe.....?

The gnomes aren't convinced...

The gnomes should have more faith. I think it's St Michaels Mount, too.

The gnomes are convinced after doing some detective work......

The gnomes are correct, it is St Michael's Mount but looking at the house from the seaward side. Well worked out G-Man, Mrs S and I went across to the Mount the day before visiting Helston for Flora Day.

G-Man has the chair.

The gnomes were toying with me

Little dratsabs...

Alrighty---where were the "Gnomes"? Another place from a "strange angle".

Knowing what lying little tykes they can be, I expect they'll claim it's the Sea of Tranquillity - and to be fair, it is an angle I've never seen before

But I expect it's off the coast of Thailand...

Thailand yes, but thinking this needs to be more precise...it is a famous location.

Nope---too far South

This one is golden, I figured it would generate more responses.....

Yes this is from Man with the Golden Gun. Ao Phang Nga National Park.

Khao Phing Kan and Ko Ta Pu – both separately and collectively – have been popularly called James Bond Island.

You are correct.

Thank you G-Man. Try this.

Is that a Channel Island?
