Cell,

We know it’s cheating, but have you come across the ‘Google’ search where you can copy a picture in and it will try and match it to similar pictures ?

It appears to be a useful tool as using your picture, it brings up very similar views situate Balaena Bay, Wellington, New Zealand ..... what do you think ?

Regards,

Al & Al

I can't thank you enough as I really love the photo-  now I know where it is and a bit more about it such as names to some of it.

You can find out how to use Google ‘Search by Image’ on the following site :

Cell, I'm made up for you!

What a brilliant result, and we've all probably learned things on the way.  RC does it again!

Best regards,
Carol
