Yes, you can, content in the knowledge that you've got it!
North Twillingate Island for the main photo, the second is from South Twillingate Island, on Main Street as you worked out.
All yours, DBx

My local mechanic, over here from Newfoundland, offered me a house in Twillingate about 5 years ago, bargain price. I could have had this view.....on the three days a year it isn't fog or blizzard conditions ;)))

From Gander, you have to go through Virgin Arm and Dildo Run to get to where the picture was taken, which is called Paradise. Canadians don't do innuendo, because if they did they'd never get anything else done.

For some reason I’m getting a Dutch feeling looking at this photo :D

Nowhere near the Baltic, it's a church in a predominantly Catholic country.

I believe it is in Firminy, a little south west of Saint Etienne. Designed by Le Corbusier, an architect you love or hate. I'm in the hate camp and think he produced a collection of hideous monstrosities that would be improved by demolition. A large pile of rubble is prettier.

Correct in all respects Smeagol. Certainly visited by the ugly fairy ain't it.

One of these has more grace and form than that so-called church

OK this one shouldn't last long.
And apologies for the colour cast, it is a 40 year old slide that has been digitised. Building looks the same as it did then though!

I think it's a palace in Hungary, eastern end of Lake Balaton, name of the town is Kestehy.

I'm afraid you are a long way off, Cape. Need to move lots of miles west.

I think we are at Somerleyton Hall in Suffolk, the Stephen Poliakoff film "The Lost Prince" was filmed here.

FD2, look at the wring over the arch, it will give you a clue.

Just spotted the end of a French flag. How about la Rochelle?
