Where Am I? No. 235 - Coast Scene

Shore-based searchlights, rather than ship-based?

And again, why on top of this rock rather than on the 'mainland'?

I am still curious about this, man made or natural rock

[KGarrad]

I am convinced that there is a gateway/portal (for want of a better term) at the seaward end of the bridge?

It looks like the ends of 2 wall-ends, and would be consistent with the size of the walls on the headland.

What I can't be sure of is how far these man-made walls extend?

[mazi]

I did wonder if a walkway existed right across the the top of the rock to the seaward end, there seems to be a tiny platform at the sea end on the same level as the bridge base.

The military were good at demolishing rocks, they had a lot of practice in Gibraltar

A foghorn maybe, similar to this one at St, Martins point.;

I don't see anything unnatural about it.

Ignoring the red and green lines, below them I see what looks like a flat surface with a perfect equilateral triangle of "rock" at the top of it, but maybe I am seeing what I want to see, which is why I sought a second opinion

Mike (Mazi),

I think what you are looking at is simply the top surface of one layer of rock. The triangular shape is simply part of the layer above which has remained after the surrounding rock fractured and fell away.

The principle is similar to how slate can be cleaved to form a relatively flat smooth surface. Looks like it is manmade, but entirely natural.

Good afterns on,

Whilst I still think along the lines of lighthouse/foghorn on the area to the right and out of sight of us. Another possible is coastguard lookout.

But let's think about orientation, where is the open sea, is it behind us or out to the left. I'm starting to think out to the left. This may actually be on mainland terra firma and not a lump of rock in the sea.

We could just be looking across a bay with the shore line coming around out of shot on the right.

Why or what is the shot of, who just takes a single picture. It may be one of several which we don't have but would give us a location immediately.

There is something out of shot at the bottom, jetty or boat. Whatever it is has a post and what looks like large lookout binoculars but they are too low down to be shore based looking out to sea.
