    It's not, although it does look a bit like that. This place has quite a reputation.

    I thanks, I was hoping as a Berlinophile something interesting would pop up.

    Thats not to say the other images are dull. You guys seem to have been to some amazing places. I am truly envious.

    That reminds me of viewing the Churchill statue in Paris with a German colleague - I remarked on its prominence relative to perceived negative opinions of the English by the French. “You’d think they might like Churchill, though. Without him they’d all be speaking German” was his response.

    Going to need a clue for this one.

    Fair, it was a tad unreasonable! This was taken nearby, same bridge can be seen just off centre to the left.

    My son cycled that on his gap year. Understandably he didn’t tell us until he got home, for fear of giving his mother heart failure!

    Either those rocks are leaching salts or someone at the monastery has accidentally unleashed some ammonia-based fluid from a window.

    Yes - the one in Paro, Bhutan, not to be confused with its namesake in India. Quite a hike to get up there.

    Yes. I was almost sidelined by one idiot on flickr who had managed to geo-locate his photo to Thimpu but I got there via a brief tour of Ladakh.

    Cú Chulainn in Tayto Park. The clue was useful. I do like a wooden coaster.

    Perfect. My 6yo was tall enough to ride it for the first time yesterday, but unlike his sisters he is not a thrill seeker.
