it looks like a copy of the bronze in the Mercato Nuevo in Florence. So is it outside the big villa i cant remember the name of on the other side of the river?

clarion · « **Reply #4231 on:** 17 August, 2011, 08:14:32 pm »

At least I'm not going mad - there's a copy at Chatsworth (not my photo).

Steph · « **Reply #4232 on:** 17 August, 2011, 08:57:33 pm »

I know the two places well, and it is neither. But it is across the sea.

Is it between Limpley Stoke and Avoncliffe?

EDIT - Moved from the Bradford on Avon tea gardens?
No. Bradford on Avon would be closer but still not close enough.

By a lock where the towpath changes sides..

München

It definitely has the look of a late 19thC northern European city building. But florentine Boars are so everywhaer dahling that you can't use them as a clue..

Haven't participated here yet - do you have to guess correctly before you can post an image - or just dive in?

Nope, but I know the boar you had in mind. Is it time for a clue yet?

Steph · « **Reply #4246 on:** 21 August, 2011, 04:29:22 pm »

OK, a clue: the second most expensive ferry crossing in the world, mile for mile.

Jurek · « **Reply #4247 on:** 21 August, 2011, 04:44:33 pm »

So its not the IOW, then

I'm re-tuning my scanner to the lowlands....... I think

Steph · « **Reply #4248 on:** 21 August, 2011, 07:09:18 pm »

The IOW is not the most expensive, mile for mile.

David Martin · « **Reply #4249 on:** 21 August, 2011, 08:33:33 pm »

The most expensive I took was from Bygdoey to Store Herben. It worked out at abut 400 GBP per mile.

It was about 50m.
