Try to find the spot where the photographer was standing.
When: Unknown
Try to find the date or year when this image was made.
The catalogue description of this image suggests that it is a man standing on a castle, but the benefits of "Super Dooper Mega Zoom" (technical term) show that this is not the case. The man is sitting on a fairly modern building looking out over tidal flats with a town in the background. I suspect that this will take some time to identify but then the Lemur, Sharon or Niall are just as likely to make a liar out of me! Where is it?
And, with his first (and critical) hypothesis, John McK has established that this is Bundoran, County Donegal. Thanks John!

Well, I don't recognise it, but I've got till Niall and Sharon get out of bed to see what I can figure out with a map. I suspect Strangford Lough though, so the map may not be much use.

Congratulation for your beautiful Album.

Doesn't ring any bells, but there are hills/mountains beyond which do not suggest Strangford Lough?

https://www.flickr.com/photos/gnmcauley True. Also, the sun/shadows suggest we're looking west along a north facing coast (I think).

Bundoran?
Niall McAuley
I like Bundoran - the flats here look like rock rather than mud.

Streetview (Closest I could get - the photo was taken from further to the right).
Niall McAuley
The yoke (technical term) he is on is still there: streetview. It is not on the 1837 6" map.

I spy, with my little eye, a BILLIARD ROOM (by cheating and megazooming Sharon's linked Lawrence)

https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected] John well done. We need a stronger commitment than "has to be" may we respectfully suggest "is" :)

Thanks https://www.flickr.com/photos/johnspooner. I'll have to head back to 1983 to get a pair. (I think I remember a pair coming on the front of the RTÉ guide - in advance of a screening of some b-movie or or other :) )
