Title: How much do you need to place a picture?
Post by: grahame on October 16, 2007, 11:19:30
I've always been amazed at how easily people identify pictures from minimal details.    Here's one that get lost into the fog, and one that I've cropped dangerously.  I expect you to tell me both locations within a few hours  ;)

Both locations I could reach from my home in Melksham within an hour, by the way.

Yes, the bottom one is Westbury.   And the top one is something I expected you to find a little bit trickier.

I think;

Top picture Swindon looking West towards Chippenham, just see the shadow in the mirk of the building on the right which is to the left of the Gloucester line as it diverges to Kemble and the platform edge of the bay for the Gloucester / Melksham lines units on the right.

Bottom picture Westbury with the road bridge and the London line curving to the right is visible under the bridge.

Bottom picture is indeed Westbury - London line curve gives it away.   Top picture is somewhere you can reach using a direct train from Westbury, but no-one has got it right yet.

Gloucester?

Andover I think

Yes, Nick ... it is indeed Andover.

If I need to travel into London / South Bank,  if I'm travelling up early in the morning (before the car park at Andover gets full), if I've not got anyone else to pay for me, and if I need flexibility for my return home (a "I haven't a clue how long it will take" job), then Andover is my best park and ride option from Melksham.
