Looks like a very interesting place, the Yanks do things like this better than anyone else, I haven't been there but would like to visit it, if only for the motorbikes.

well done Woody, you to freewheel onto the next challenge.

Sorry I couldn't resist. We spent the day at Blaauwklippen and drove past the mall an hour ago, I think I recognised the display from previous years. Am I right?
To be honest, who else would have got it?

I was going to put a picture of the V&A Waterfront one up, but thought this one might be trickier. Obviously you have control.

Woody, since you have scurrilously accused me of wresting victory from the jaws of someone else, I shall submit and declare OH.

Still waiting for your call BTW!

Took a little finding, I think that we are here - The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, often referred to as The Guggenheim, is an art museum located at 1071 Fifth Avenue on the corner of East 89th Street in the Upper East Side neighbourhood of Manhattan, New York City.

Thank you OM15. A bit of a guess. Not a member but was invited to give a presentation there once. Mrs Ex-Ascot was in charge of the overhead projector wearing short skirt, black stockings and suspenders. No one paid any attention to what I was saying and at least two of the old buggers had to be stretchered out.

This should be an easy one, maybe.
