How much do you need to place a picture?

[whole diary]

[grahame]

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.

Westbury?

[vacman]

The top one looks like Westbury???

[oooooo]

I think the bottom one is Westbury and the top looks like Swindon???

[grahame]

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

Castle Cary?

Don't remember the island being that wide at Castle Cary

I'm mystified as to where it is... Reading?

Didcot Parkway?

[vacman]

Chippenham?

[Timmer]

Im pretty confident its Didcot. Just need to wait for Graham to enlighten us.

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.

[grahame]

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.

Filton Abbey Wood?

[martyjon]

Severn Tunnel Junction ?
