Is it Llyn Foel, taken from the top of the East Ridge on Moel Siabod?

I can see the similarity but it's not correct but it is in the Snowdonia National Park.

             After looking more closely I think it could be Llyn-y-Gadar looking towadrds the Mawddach.

Well spotted Gwynant.  It is Llyn Y Gadair looking down from Cadair Idris.     It was quite hard so I posted one with some background in it to help.  That is the Mawddach in the distance.       &well&

In the absence of any local landmarks I would hazard a guess at Bull Bay, Anglesey or if not Cowes, Isle of Wight.    :laugh: $good$

No, sorry neither of those but you are on the right track with an island.

I thought I had pictures of ALL the pained cows (see https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=painted+cows&hl=en&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=A7g9UKuoA8jX0QW0qoCoDA&sqi=2&ved=0CDcQsAQ&biw=1024&bih=566 ) having posed a similar puzzle some time ago, but I ain't got this one!  I'll take a guess at Ibiza.

No sorry Yorkie it isn't Ibiza. I remember your question about the painted cows before. They do a similar thing in Switzerland as well but this is closer to home.
The clue is in the breed!

I have witnessed the tradition of painted cows on Tynwald day on the Isle of Man - could it be one of these ?

  My Previous answer last night was supposed to be "tongue-in-cheek" with bovine-sounding locations (sorry about that!) but as your reply was that it is on an island and the clue is in the breed, I think that it is located on the island of Jersey (as Jersey cows have fringes like that) but I'm afraid I don't know exactly where. ?{}?
