The Capetonian WOE Thread
Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
Yes, but when I took the photo we were northbound on the Hutigruten.
Went to Hell some years earlier and took a picture of wife's younger son sitting under a sign saying "Hell gods stasion".
I thought it quite funny.

This one shouldn’t last long, but I’m away from tomorrow and will only be here infrequently

Have visited several ampitheatres in my life.
Doesn't look roman.
Have a guess at grecian and possibly on Crete.

It is definitely Cyprus, here is a grotty scanned Polaroid of a (very young) VP standing there in 1974, just before a bit of unpleasantness from Turkey:

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
This place has a family connection, SWMBO's Great Uncle Archie built it, and it has a bit of infamy associated with it:

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
Have a feeling I've seen that used as a location for an filming an Agatha Christie story.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
That was quick. It has indeed, it has connections with Agatha Christie from the 1930's.
Spot on, I thought the unusual angle (taken from the island side) might help disguise it. You have it.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
The angle did fool me - well done Great Uncle Archie for a truly exquisite and iconic art deco creation; I'd love to stay there one day
I have to declare OH as I have to be up at half past daft to get to North Wales tomorrow
But whoever picks up the gauntlet, make it start with a 'P' (I'll be just outside Pwllheli next time I log on)
Pob lwc!

starts with a P

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
Wild guess, Plettenburg Bay.
First idea that came to my mind.
If, however, it is in the US, how about Pensacola.
Never been to Pensacola so haven't a clue what it looks like.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
The P names a park. It IS in the US, but not Florida.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
Have had a quick look at the National Parks website for parks starting with p.
Two are listed in the contigeous US, Point Reyes and Padre Island.
I have been to neither.
Padre Island, I think is closer to you so I go for that.
If not Point Reyes.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
Two hints. One, it is not a National Park. Two it is west of the Mississippi River. Way west.

Re: The Capetonian WOE Thread
Additionally, like many of my photos, it is scanned from a 35mm color transparency and not recent. The area is shown on a current listing as a "reserve" versus a park.
