Ha! Well spotted. Not as big a mistake as forgetting to say "thank you LADIES and gentlemen" though. Apologies to Michelle and Marilyne, and sorry to everyone for the distraction. Here's to 2022 then, when hopefully all this covid unpleasantness will largely be well behind us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fattyowls Posted 8 December , 2020 Author Share Posted 8 December , 2020 Here at photo id HQ in Owls Towers it has become clear that a valued contributor to the thread, let us call him Reg from Cheshire to preserve annonymity announmyity anonynmin so nobody knows who it is, continues to have issues caused by an automotive incident near Zwarteleen in Belgium. To avoid causing him any more unpleasant flashbacks I would appreciate if other contributors would sign up for a self-denying ordinance as follows. No mentions of a man made feature 60m above sea level next to a railway cutting in the greater Zwarteleen metro area. The feature across the tracks named after the larval stage of a butterfly should also be avoided. Keep off the alternative civil engineering meaning of the word which means to control and keep within defined limits, which features with the word enthusiasm in a well known phrase, and is the title of a US situation comedy. Avoid reference to structures carrying roads across features like railway lines, waterways and other roads. Confine oneself to only mentioning the mine locations of the Messines operations south of and including Hollandse schuur Farm. If the mine at St Eloi needs to be mentioned please apply for special permission direct to photo id HQ. Place an embargo on any word which contains the intransitive verb meaning to wear out, tire, work out or deplete. This applies particularly to a Mr Forget. Avoid at all costs the subject of the processing of waste gasses from the internal combustion engine. Your cooperation in this matter is appreciated. F. Owls. (Mr).

Fattyowls Posted 8 December , 2020 Author Share Posted 8 December , 2020 Right, it's photo time. Every picture tells a story and this picture has a story of its own. So where is it?

Fattyowls Posted 8 December , 2020 Author Share Posted 8 December , 2020 (edited) Any chance of someone having a look through the letterbox at the panorama please? Pretty please? Pretty please with sugar on? If anyone can be bothered to try and id the photo then bonus points will be awarded for identifying the viewpoint, and if anyone has spotted the back story to the photo's current location on the forum a whole year's supply of barbel will be supplied by a Mr P from the West Midlands.....

neverforget Posted 8 December , 2020 Share Posted 8 December , 2020 That might amount to a brace of barbel then Pete the way it's going. You know I'm not at all familiar with the Western Front except for a couple of places, but might it be the Chemin des Dames, though that is more of a ridge than hills?

The Chemin de Dames is as you say a long ridge but not dissimilar to the one in the photo. And just as the Chemin de Dames overlooks the Aisne........

Changes its name to Dutch before it reaches the North Sea.
