Kurt has it! Well done! It was taken from a Virgin hot-air balloon which launched from a public park alongside the River Tay.

I was just looking at a map and wondering about Perth!

Is it Stirling?

Another clue? This township was once a city, then a town, and is now a city again.

Re: Challenge: Where is this? IV

OK, so a clue for the two people who haven't seen it before. :-)

The country is Scotland.

I think I know this but I won't answer unless we get bogged down. I seem to remember seeing it when you posted a similar picture on E System user, fine picture.

I found the same Andy, but I'll defer to you in the bog!

Re: Challenge: Where is this? IV

My mistake, you're quite right. I was mistaking the bridge for one nearby carrying a single-digit A road. The motorway just there is double-digit.

I'm just confused about the clue of the single number motorway, if I'm right(and I may be way off) isn't it a double number?

Sorry, still the wrong country!

Doh!

Right continent, wrong country.

In that case, I will guess Bristol Balloon festival floating into Wales and photographing Newport. There are definitely Railways, Bridges and Motorway close by. lt's a long time since I visited there and I can't remember much about the place.

Re: Challenge: Where is this? IV

Hmmm, difficult, not sure in what direction the image is. But there are West Country balloon flights to be had, so I am going to guess at Somerset. There are railways and the M5.

Re: Challenge: Where is this? IV

Time for a clue?

The bridge in the distance, just to the right of the point-and-shoot camera, is a motorway viaduct; the motorway having a single-number identifier.

From a hot-air balloon. (A very serene experience!)
