    It’s Salisbury Cathedral although the clue of South West threw me as it’s closer to London than to the 'proper' South West😂

    My picture was taken by my own fair hand and comes from my website.At the time we were stsying at the CC&C site in Salisbury which is a relatively easy walk into the City from the site.

    I also thought it was Salisbury but was put off by the south west designation. I know in the past the CAMC had some fairly strange views on where sites were located but their current south west offer does not include Wiltshire.

    Indeed, most of us think of the SW as being those 4 counties and even then the north bit of Somerset is dubious. But Wiltshire - nah. As I said, it’s getting close to London.

    That’s the new cathedral at Salisbury. Old one is slightly further North🤭 Not much left of it though. 🤣

    Even Gloucestershire is now included in the southwest, anything past Exeter is up north for me !

    Is it the pyramid in Sussex?

    I've never seen it but heard about it on an episode of Excess Baggage on radio 4. It's stuck in my mind

    I don't think it's a clear sharp photo sadly, and looking up the Sussex pyramid, at Brightling apparently, it doesn't look dissimilar.

    Of course the colour of the sky may suggest much further afield 😉 and certainly not lately 🤣🤣

    I think the images are deliberately being made unclear to be honest. I made the image smaller and that made it sharper. It looks like it’s made out of stone to be honest, with a possible chimney/smoke hole on one side. We have a remarkably similar pyramid of unused steel slag just off the A1 near Ferrybridge, but I don’t think it’s that🤭

    I had to Google it, never been so didn’t know about it.

    @Takethedogalong having been interested in photography from when I was quite a young lad, Box Brownie then and years later moved on to Canon SLR's I find it difficult to accept out of focus pictures. Sorry if that sounds a bit of photographic snobbery! Interestingly, following up on your comment I noticed the original photo in this thread is also not clear but the ones posted by members are. It might be the source of the originals that is the problem. Sometimes images are protected which might cause the issue?

    Either way, David, they're not conducive to comfortable viewing or to encouraging posting.

    Yes I agree, I find out of focus stuff very off putting. All I could make of this one was what looked like stone, foreground looked like heathland, and an amazing blue sky. I think the Club has to have images to use in a certain format, but not very well up on sizing or other requirements. I do now know what and where it is, but only because I did some digging with Mr Google.

    Didn't know it but Google lens has suggested it is -

     Prince Albert's Cairn, also known as the Balmoral Pyramid, located on the Balmoral Estate in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

    @MikeyB you spoiler😄 If you Google you aren’t supposed to give the answer, it’s cheating.
