The Capetonian WOE Thread

[talmacapt]

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.

That's the one G.

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

[talmacapt]

Have visited several ampitheatres in my life.

Doesn't look roman.

Have a guess at grecian and possibly on Crete.

[Woody]

Not Crete , further East.

[Rossian]

Cyprus near Episkopi. OH if right.

The Ancient Mariner

[VP959]

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:

Rossion has the stage, OH it is

[VP959]

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

Have a feeling I've seen that used as a location for an filming an Agatha Christie story.

If you're thinking of Burgh Island (my first thought) I don't think it is any more

But I know exactly what you mean about AC

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.

[Opsboi]

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!

[fin]

starts with a P

[talmacapt]

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.

[fin]

The P names a park. It IS in the US, but not Florida.

[talmacapt]

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.

[fin]

Two hints. One, it is not a National Park. Two it is west of the Mississippi River. Way west.

[fin]

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.
