I would still love to find out which thought processes and searches took him to that island. Like you, I was nowhere near! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So my nobility has just gone out the window I did ask for the mountain name, so you do deserve the point. Nice find, even although the The Frenchman Returns found the island. Unlucky this time Frenchman. Point to luckyBatistuta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son has backpacked across the Far East, when he saw the photo it reminded of Bali, so I started there and worked my way out from there looking at mountains/beaches.

Indeed. I seem to have persuaded myself that it is a tower windmill, having already exhausted the "thin Martello tower" avenue. Pretty unusual to have that supporting structure underneath though!

I think we've narrowed it down to Belgium given Smithee's comment on "right border" (unless it's on the other side of the Belgium-Netherlands border), and (perhaps) to Flanders, given the Banana Splits grin. Edit: confirmed by Smithee the split second before I posted this. Edited April 13, 2018 by redjambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
