Well done Jason.  Not an easy one as it could have been anywhere.    Just pleased that it managed to last a day or so.    ZXZ

I also understand that the agent of Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci is on his way to complain about the bastardising of his Gioconda!    :D

Ah, good place for Californian cuisine.

It's the Sunset Grill & Bar overlooking the Bosphorous in Istanbul, Turkey.

The bridge gives it away.  My Son was in there a few hours ago.  He went to see the Turkish Grand Prix.
 Great stuff T that's another pint.    I need to get my own back so you must post a poser!    ZXZ

Where is this?

What's the bridge called and what is the name of the vessel moored nearby?
