Where is this? - My first time!

[LymingtonPugwash]

okay... at last, I hope that i've now added the knowhow to the technology and have my first 'Where is this?', particularly as we don't seem to have had one for a few days.

 

[LymingtonPugwash]

One more view for me to practice and to help give a clearer piccy of the part you would recognise...

 

[Guest]

The Mediterranean, judging by tideless pontoons and palm trees. Do I win?

 

[Guest]

Gibraltar? Wild-assed guess.

 

[Searush]

Looks like the end of a Motorway to me - so it has to be the Med. Only Mediterranean cultures could use so much concrete to destroy the environment.

 

[Helina]

Is it drinking water ?

 

[B175Chris]

Is it somewhere in Corfu?

 

[Richard10002]

Turkey

 

[LymingtonPugwash]

Right geographical region.... the historians amongst you would find this place facinating to visit

 

[B175Chris]

I've seen a picture of the harbour before when i was doing some research for a project, cant remember the name of the place though...

 

[LymingtonPugwash]

A bit more of it.... showing more of the lovely concrete searush loves so much!

 

[LymingtonPugwash]

my final 2 pics follow.... and both show the historical event which happened BC (Before Concrete) in that same bay.

 

[LymingtonPugwash]

This one looks into the bay and the village you saw is in the bottom right of the land....

 

[Guest]

errr... Aboukir?

 

[LymingtonPugwash]

sight of the last ever major fleet engagement at sea by sailing ships

 

[snowleopard]

Agreed. Painting has to be the Battle of the Nile.

 

[Guest]

In that case it would be the Russian - Turkish engagement during the Crimean War at Sinope, I think?

 

[LymingtonPugwash]

Large part of the victorious fleet was British

 

[LymingtonPugwash]

okay.... one more give away clue... the place was immortalised in a classic WW2 film on an incident which was supposed to have taken place there.... the film is named after the location....

Colditz?
