The "guess the place" thread

[Exit Stage Left]

I would think the hill in the background is Pen-y-Ghent.
More than likely taken close to the Ribblehead viaduct. 

Right hill wrong viewpoint.

[Tourist Tony]

Look like early purple orchids

Yes they are, the little pink jobs around them are Bird's Eye Primrose, the Primrose weren't evident on the other side of the hill where there were plenty of Orchis mascula in habitat like this, with a view of another hill.

[tonyh]

That looks like Whernside.

(Those foregrounds enhance the hills so well. Feels like being there.
Love the Viaduct one also.)

This one completes the set, it needed a polarising filter for the best results.



The best results were shooting East at 7 pm.



Those two are not the same hill, just to show how similar they are.

What's this mountain, and which other famous mountain does it resemble from this angle.

Pillar in Stac Pollaidh mode.

You've got the second bit right, but not the first.

A tractor in Stac Pollaidh. 

[tonyh]

Bit of a stickler....  I thought it might resemble Liathach. Not as much as Stac Pollaidh though. Might even look a bit like Moel y gest.

A slightly dodgy panorama makes it clearer.

Pick of Stickle in Langdale?

Top one is Ingleboro taken from Chapel le Dale

Bottom one is Penygent taken I suspect from around Selside or possibly Brackenbottom

It is indeed, I felt the tractor gave it a North West Highlands feel.

The Bottom one is of Penygent from the point in the centre of this.

A well known bridge to tourists and audaxers in Southern Scotland...

[αdαmsκι]

Is that bridge the one beside the New Ken Bridge hotel just outside of New Galloway?

Indeed it is    If a clue had been required I was going to revise my description to 'well kent' 

Mrs C and I recently enjoyed a very reasonable evening meal at the hotel, and (on another night) had a good view of a barn owl over the road while driving past.

Howzabout something cycling related...

[Cyclops]

Never been in the hotel in Ian H's fotie but I've been in the cafe over the road a few times

Um, the George Hotel ?

(I've just Googled the rest of the location based on Cyclops' answer)

[Ian H]

Um, the George Hotel ?

Is the correct answer, as far as it goes. I'm impressed at the reticence of those who know.

OK, as nobody else has buzzed in, I'm assuming that the rest of the answer is Haddington ?

Yup. So, how many people knew but weren't saying?
