Almost. The photo is not, technically in Canada. That should be a huge clue.

I was thinking of Victoria Island but that is Canada, Craigdarroch Castle looks very similar. But sure it is not correct.

It is a castle, but not that one. If you go to visit this one, you should, imo, visit it BEFORE you visit the Hearst Castle.

Didn't quite understand that clue Fin. I was looking for island castles off Oregon.

Boldt Castle, Heart Island, Thousand Islands, New York

Internet is so slow it isn't even registering on the Speed Test. 20 Kbps yesterday. t took me 2 hours to track that down this morning.

Sorry about the double post folks. It was actually a triple one but I could only delete the last one. It kept telling me there was a previous post to mine but guess it was me.

40 minutes and 6 attempts.

Anyhow, Boldt Castle it is. Nearby is a tiny little pair of islands with a foot bridge between them, one in US and one in Canada. Ex-A has the controls.

Thanks Fin. What confused me was:
If you go to visit this one, you should, imo, visit it BEFORE you visit the Hearst Castle
But notice there is a Hearst Castle 'In Canada' as they call it. That is why I was looking over there. Good challenge.

As mentioned very bad internet today. No chance of me posting so O/H.

Now let us see if this goes ~X( I will check it has gone this time to avoid all the double posts we have here today. Thank you gentlemen for your comments. ;)))

So while we're stuck here waiting for internet to return to Bots, I thought I'd share a panorama a friend helped me make of a sunrise. If Ex comes back to life, this challenge is automatically withdrawn, but 'tis a pretty pic anyhow.
