The Smokin' Hot Where On Earth Thread Mk III

[Sisemen]

Bugger! Beat me to it.

[Ex-Ascot]

OM15 this is indeed Dom Perignon himself. I suspect that a few of the houses have the same window celebrating the 'inventor of champagne'. This is however not the house of Moet et Chandon.

[om15]

Then we are in the Taittinger Cellars in Rheims, which I should have known as I have been there.

Spot on OM15. Sorry just corrected a mistake. I refereed incorrectly to the house Dom Perignon which of course is a Moet Chandon tipple.

All yours Sir.

[om15]

Thanks Ex A, here is a pleasant Saturday evening challenge,

[Smeagol]

I do believe that is the City Hall in Hobart, Tasmania, in Oz

[om15]

That's it Sméagol, it is the City Hall. Swiftly found, Sméagol on the oche.

[Smeagol]

How about another castle this time?

[FD2]

Dunvegan Castle, Skye

[Smeagol]

Well that didn't last long! It is indeed Dunvegan castle. (I once lived in a Dunvegan House, a Georgian ex-rectory, which I rented from a Mr Macleod)

FD2 is in the driving seat.

[FD2]

Thanks Smeagol. Home of the MacLeod of MacLeod. Forbidding looking place isn't it?

Sticking with the castle theme, how about this one?

[John Hill]

Isn't that the castle where a king (?) was locked in the dungeons and forgotten about?

[FD2]

Not in this one John.

[Cpt_Pugwash]

Morning all.

I suspect that FD2s challenge may be Rosyth Castle. It has apeared here before, although from a different viewpoint.

[FD2]

And here's me thinking I had found something new...

Built around 1450 and occupied by Cromwell's men in 1651, it used to be on an island and only accessible at low tide. Taken over from the Earl of Hopetoun by the Admiralty in 1903, land reclamation meant that it was eventually surrounded and became part of the Dockyard. With the more recent contraction of the Dockyard it is now on the periphery, back in private hands and open to the public.

Well done Pugwash - it's in your hands now!

[Cpt_Pugwash]

Thanks, FD2. When I worked for Aunty Betty, I had a few duty trips to Rosyth Dockyard.

This one should be easily Googleable with the right keywords..

[Fox3WheresMyBanana]

Fiat Tagliero building in Asmara, Eritrea.
OH if correct

[Cpt_Pugwash]

On target, F3.

OH has been declared.

[fin]

One of a (surprising, to me anyhow)

number of abandoned castles in the area.

[om15]

This style is very similar to the ruins of Burgruine Kurnberg near Stamsried, Germany, are we in this part of the world?
