This is the Bahrain World Trade Centre, in...Bahrain!

This was just a patch of sea when I lived in Bahrain 25 years ago.

Well, almost a week has elapsed and no-one has posted so I will.

This is a very famous 'castle' from an unusual angle.

Aha, got a clue from the "boring & pointless" thread-----I do believe this is about 10 miles and a walk at low time from Helston..... St. Michaels Mount maybe.....?

The gnomes should have more faith. I think it's St Michaels Mount, too.

The gnomes are correct, it is St Michael's Mount but looking at the house from the seaward side. Well worked out G-Man, Mrs S and I went across to the Mount the day before visiting Helston for Flora Day.

Knowing what lying little tykes they can be, I expect they'll claim it's the Sea of Tranquillity - and to be fair, it is an angle I've never seen before

But I expect it's off the coast of Thailand...

Thailand yes, but thinking this needs to be more precise...it is a famous location.

Yes this is from Man with the Golden Gun. Ao Phang Nga National Park.
