Yes, Goddamnit I thought that would last longer. Well done.

GritBiscuit

Not Morar but you are in the right part of the world

I was very tempted to say road to Damascus.

But it is Cairo and that is somewhere out near the Great Giza Pyramids.

GritBiscuit

Not Damascus either...

Bingo! Pyramids are right behind the camera :cool:

jmayo

Ok seen the weekend that is in it.
And no it isn't Le Mans itself.

Oh and there is a pyramid nearby also.

Vallelunga?

GritBiscuit

Philip Island Moto GP Circuit, Victoria

jmayo

Sorry hadn't been back to confirm this.

Well played, i thought it might have lasted a little longer.


BTW there is a Pyramid Rock and Pyramid trail not far away from the circuit.

Also Philip island is famous for the dusk penguin walk where the little guys come out of the water to reach their burrows.

Of course the guides don't mention their biggest obstacle is not predators, but Asian tourists with almighty camera flashes that blind the poor buggers.

GritBiscuit

I follow the moto GP so I had an unfair advantage!

Okay....

GritBiscuit

Brought to my attention the image wasn't showing so I reloaded - it shows for me so if nobody else can see it, apologies. Just give me a shout and I'll try another format.

Has a look of a central American stepped pyramid so based on that I have come up with: Chichen Itza ruins in the Mayan Riviera, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

GritBiscuit

You're good! I should have moved away from the pyramid theme! :pac:

That is correct, Fussen lies in the shadow of the famous Castle Neuschwanstein from which the Disney castles took their inspiration, Chitty chitty bang bang was also filmed there :pac:

DunnoKidz

Right so, this isn't as clear as it should be, I am still learning the posting process and may've compressed the file too much in order to upload it. I am sorry the locale indicators in the pic are rather fuzzy.
