It could be Cologne Cathedral, but the pic makes it out to be too small for there. Cologne is very big. Maybe the pic has just lost the sense of scale? ID: 1017237 · |

Well that must be the shortest lived picture in the history of the thread LOL. Well done Chris. Keep it British, keep it in the family ;) Some info about the 150 year old Clifton Suspension Bridge, in my home City of Bristol. The Clifton Suspension Bridge, spanning the picturesque Avon Gorge, is the symbol of the city of Bristol. For almost 150 years this Grade I listed structure has attracted visitors from all over the world. Its story began in 1754 with the dream of a Bristol wine merchant who left a legacy to build a bridge over the Gorge. 24 year old Isambard Kingdom Brunel was eventually declared the winner and appointed project engineer – his first major commission. The foundation stone was laid in 1831 but the project was dogged with political and financial difficulties and by 1843, with only the towers completed, the project was abandoned. Brunel died aged only 53 yrs in 1859 but the Bridge was completed as his memorial and finally opened in 1864. Designed in the early 19th century for light horse drawn traffic it still meets the demands of 21st century commuter traffic with 11-12,000 motor vehicles crossing it every day. ID: 1017261 · |

Since everyone is keeping time ...  Andy stands a good chance on this one. Hints: no hints needed. This one should be quick. Question, where is it? and not just the city.
