Title: Re: Where is this?
Post by: Elizabethrose on May 29, 2017, 08:29:01 PM: Is it on one of the lovely Scottish Islands close to Norway, whose inhabitants helped the Norwegians during WW2?
Title: Re: Where is this?
Post by: nearly50 on May 29, 2017, 08:34:00 PM: I knew it was only a matter of time until someone from Wales appeared :) yes, Norwegian church in Cardiff Bay, now an arts centre. Roald Dahl worshipped there. Recommend a visit to Cardiff to anyone, lovely place.

Post by: nearly50 on May 31, 2017, 08:13:25 PM: You're making me nervous - by day 2 of every visit to Spain everyone thinks I'm Spanish and random strangers talk to me. No matter how much I practice, I just reply "I'm Scottish" and run away ;D

Should've got that one earlier on, been there often enough!

I'm just posting random holiday snaps which is a bit of a cheat. This is either very easy or very difficult, not sure.
Title: Re: Where is this?
Post by: Elizabethrose on May 31, 2017, 08:25:20 PM: You obviously have the dark Celtic colouring!

I love it so much. It's like being caught in an organic fairyland. The guy was a genius! The only problem is the crowds. I once managed to choose a time when it was virtually empty and just lay back and revelled in it!

I'm afraid I have no idea where that is. Is it one for the Scottish ladies? x
Title: Re: Where is this?
Post by: nearly50 on May 31, 2017, 08:39:48 PM: The first time I went was in 1994 and it was so different then as there were no crowds anywhere. It is mad now, same with Parc Guill.

Not in Scotland. On the coast.

Title: Re: Where is this?
Post by: Elizabethrose on June 02, 2017, 03:56:11 PM: BJ, the rock formation looks amazing: has it naturally eroded forming some sort of cave or has it been tunnelled by man. I did wonder whether it was an archaeological site of some sort too. I have no idea where or what it is x
