Hamish's Passenger Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 If you look at the crane to the right of the ship, you are seeing it side on. That suggest to me that the view is almost directly West. If so, then it to far south to be Loch Lomond but not that far off. Maybe Beinn Dubh.That’s a shout actually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Following a straight line from the shore line of the docks, it’s certainly more likely to be Lomond that Arran. 1 hour ago, Fullerene said: If you look at the crane to the right of the ship, you are seeing it side on.

Cheers guys that's really helpful 50 miles as the crow flies it pretty decent when you are only 50m above sea level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's definitely Ben Lomond. It's exactly the right shape and from your view it's just to the right of the Longannet chimney, so it's bang in the right place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been to all four places. This is probably the least scenic. Still struggling with your recent one - maybe a mine in Linlithgow or Leadhills? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How appropriate. Today is the anniversary of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interested to know how far you can see from top of NQ/Invk/Rosyth Found a couple of website that might help in the future, both say Ben Lomond https://www.peakfinder.org/en?lat=56.0186&lng=-3.4005&ele=36&azi=285.09&alt=-2.12&fov=23.64&date=2021-04-15T11:22:01Z&cfg=s&name= https://peakvisor.com/panorama.html?lat=56.01544448701262&lng=-3.399103530632885&alt=66&yaw=-73.87&pitch=0.46&hfov=12.49 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you are referring to Sanikiluaq. In any case, one benefit of this thread is that people are getting to know about places with Inuit names. Presumably this picture is one of Inuit Graffiti but seriously I think that Google Maps have simply put it in the wrong place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That picture can't be Greenland - there's no railway lines there...or roads out of the towns for that matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any case, Google Maps does place it in Greenland but I really seriously think it is a mistake. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 I also have serious doubts about this one in Russia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 This one is also from Russia and I suspect it is also completely in the wrong place - although on this one I might be wrong. Obviously nobody can be expected to locate any of these three pictures from the picture alone but if you go on to Google Maps, they are located in the least likely places. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
