  • Re: Challenge: where's this place 2?

    It's a great shot, marked out by the really careful composition.

    Can I post another? I've just thought of something suitable.

        Continuing the architectural theme, but inside this time:



        I've searched on a few possible clues in the picture, and as far as I can see they don't help!

          You missed some clues that Google found useful! Is it Langham Place Shopping Arcade, Mongkok, Hong Kong??

            We were there in 2007 and this does look familiar!

              Rats!

              Well done. I was all set for some (misleading) clues about it being said to have the longest escalator in the world (it's over 80 metres, which is impressive, but that's not the longest); HK does have what may be genuinely the longest outdoor escalators in the world, in the mid-levels on HK island.

              I found Langham Place fun to photograph (while my wife and her friend were shopping...). There are some amazingly original little shops on the various floors, and the locals are cool about being photographed, I guess because so many of them do it as well.

                Thanks Drmarkf, I've seen photos of that shopping arcade on the web and it seems a very photogenic place.

                Here is one a little nearer to home, taken last October at the end of a nice walk. Four hours previous to this photo being took it was a cold misty morning but the sun came out and the mist cleared to reveal this view:- Where is it?

                  Is this in your home county of Nottinghamshire? It reminds me of Yorkshire, though.

                    No it's not Notts You are right with Yorkshire but Yorkshire is a very big place, try to narrow it down.
                    A clue: to the left out of the picture is an A road where there is a large car park with excellent views, so a lot of people have seen this place from a car but it is also a popular walking area.

                      To an old hiker like me, it looks like the Hole of Horcum.

                        Spot on Gez, it is the Hole of Horcum which can be found near to the A169 inbetween Pickering and Whitby. A nice place for a walk, start off going across the moors, to Levisham for a pub lunch (if you time it right) then down into a wooded valley which opens up to the Hole of Horcum.

                        Over to Gez for the next entry.

                          This may be too easy.

                            It LOOKS like the Atomium in Brussels, or is that too obvious?

                                I can't remember who got it, but earlier in this thread (or the last one) is an image I took which was taken FROM the Atomium:



                                Unfortunately I'd left the Heysel stadium sign on.......
