Correct, Bri, and a very familiar sight to any rail traveller in North Wales.  Trivia Fact: The Station is run by Arriva Trains Wales even though it is very firmly in England. So is Hereford Station, funnily enough.

When I had a walk in this area this is the view I saw.  What is the name of the Lake and the town in the foreground?

Spot on Dwsi, it's Riva Del Garda at the northern end of Lake Garda.  I went for a walk up to the shrine of Santa Barbara which is lit up like a cross at night.        &well&

 Didn't try out the Via Ferrata walks up there though.

Yes, well done!
Too quick for me.
The hydrangeas were looking magnificent all over the gardens there yesterday and also all along the approach driveway.

I'll have to find something extremely obscure, make sure there is no location or exif data and then hope !    ZXZ

So what about this place?  And what is the thing in the field?
