The "guess the place" thread

[RJ]

Outer west midgeland?

Further east, I'd have thunk, judging by the shape of that pine tree ...

Falls of Dochart?

Falls of Dochart?

That's the one. It's to the right of all this mist...

Well it would have been easier if you'd stuck the whale's jawbones in

Bugger! Well done!

Quickly cropped to remove the boat at the bottom of the picture and if I had more time I'd correct the slight lean but nevermind...

Great picture, is it really that coulor?

Given that you've just got back from there, I'd guess the Fitz Roy Mountain Range in Argentina.

Torres del Paine

[Greenbank]

Great picture, is it really that coulor?

Yes. No filters or camera magic applied. When I get the rest of the photos sorted out you'll see some more.

Torres del Paine

Correct.

Another easyish one.

Iguazu.

It looks like an amazing place and it's a stunning photo.

Is it Pitville Park?

[David Martin]

The pictures for this one will be in your mind. It is a poem. Where was it inscribed? (Yes googling will find it but it is more fun to think and guess.)

I leave tonight from Euston
On the seven thirty train
And from Perth in teh early Morning
I shall see the hills again.

From the top of Ben Macdui
I shall watch the gathering storm
And see the crisp snow lying
at the back of Cairngorm.

I shall see the mist from Brotain
And pass by Larig Ghru
To look on dark Loch Einich
From the heights of Sgoran Dubh.

From the broken Barns of Bynack
I shall see the sunrise gleam
On the forehead of Ben Rhynnes
And Strathspey awake from dreams.

And again in the dark of evening
I shall find once more alone
The dark waters of the Green Loch
And pass beyond Ryvoan

For tonight, I leave from Euston
And leave the world behind
Who has the hills as a lover
Will find them wonderous kind.

I want to say the Tay Bridge - but that's a different poem.

(And I think the line through the Cairngorms misses out Dundee...)

Absolutely. And the inscription allegedly predates the road bridge by about 20-30 years.

It is quite obscure, but I liked the poem.

[Deano]

In that case, I have no idea.  But I liked the poem too - the Gaelic names lend it a very romantic sound.

Inscribed?

Is it on a cairn?

No, but it iswas on a permanent(ish) object

Though written, allegedly, in pencil.
