It is, isn't it!?
Thanks, Mike & Chris - enjoyed that trawl thru images of indo-saracenic architecture

yup. Albert museum in Jaipur.

OK - here is a slightly different take.

Location, rather than place.

Your dentists waiting room?

Jaded · « **Reply #1405 on:** 12 December, 2008, 04:42:55 pm »

Indeed!

Shortbread teeth and toothbrushes. Inspired.

Shortbread? Sugar free, I should hope!

How about this....
The image does not do justice to the awesome size and scale of the place - the lake in the valley floor is over 1500' below...

Blyde River Canyon, Mpumalanga, South Africa, if I'm not mistaken.

I was there in April this year!

Spot on.

"The Blyde River Canyon is 16 miles (26 kilometers) in length and is, on average, around 2500 feet (800m) deep. It consists mostly of red sandstone. The highest point of the canyon is over 6300 feet above sea level (over 1900m) whilst its lowest point is well under 2000 feet (under 600m) above sea level. By some measures it is the third largest canyon in the world, after the Grand Canyon in the United States and the Fish River Canyon in Namibia."

Where is this particular pose common?

Strike a pose? Easa Pisa.

Where's this?

Looks Welsh, but not a clue otherwise.

andrew w · « **Reply #1415 on:** 14 December, 2008, 11:31:18 am »

Not Wales.

Your tone of typing suggests somewhere notable... Grave of a Mr Peel??
