    Hey, hey. And no, Chris Bass, I did not cheat. Rather deployed Holmesian deduction combined with a little local knowledge.

    So see what you make of this. It may or may not be in Scotland.

    Correct, northern hemisphere it is. And for a bonus not in the Eurasian landmass.

    Getting warmer with New Mexico but no.

    Original picture was deliberately vague; here's another from close by at different time of day.

    Getting warmer, S California is correct. But that is a big geographic area, care to be more specific?

    Nah, my geographical knowledge doesn't extend to that much detail in the US. I expect someone will pick up on all my hard work :roll:

    Death Valley it is. No drafting permitted here so Priory gets it.

    First image is from Aguereberry Point west side Panamint mountains, 2nd from east side Dante's View. Valley floor is below sea level. Bloomin' tough mountain stage.
