That's the whole point, but it's not an isolated place where no one visits.

Very popular area in western E U. (there's a clue)

No, it's not photoshopped, it's a real place in western EU, rather popular with tourists.

My addition to the Big Ben thread. More interesting than listening to chimes is learning how they're made. BTW, it's hand wound, you know.???? One of those jobs that probably doesn't have a lot of applicants.

Thanks. It is usually being used for work and when no being used for that serving double duty as a media center.

One of those once in a lifetime opportunities.

Early one late winter morning, not a breath of wind and the sea mist.

The sun is already up (lighting up the boats) and clearing away the mist in the foreground.

Right time, right place, with camera in hand.
