This is a quiz but as yet I do not have the answer.
Background
I have wanted this shot for a long time but unfortunately my camera is not up to such zooming and I ended up with a very grainy image.
Ignoring the poor quality, but the background is well over 4 miles away and the mountains in the background are much further.
What is the circled building.
I didn't notice it when I took it but now I am intrigued, can anyone help.
I have ruled out Conishead Priory as it is closer to the sea than that and think it is in the direction of Ulverston but it may give those without Sky cards, something to think about.
I think the headland is Humphrey Head but even that is a guess and after a day making a loft hatch - I can't be bothered any more.
The picture was taken from the promenade to the West of the Midland Hotel

Well Keith. You know me, always up for a challenge.

I reckon it is Boarbank Hall. Allithwaite. www.housingcare.org/housing-care/facility-info-134200-boarbank-hall-nursing-home-grangeoversands-england.aspx

I have draw a line in Google earth from the lifebelt in your pic, over the edge of Humphrey head, and that is the conclusion that I came to.

Well....... What do you think?

Check this picture as well.. static.panoramio.com/photos/original/24645132.jpg
click on the pic for a large size one.

Trev.. OR...... Maybe the hatch is stuck and he can't get out of the loft.

Thanks for that Trev - I think you are right and at 8 miles, maybe the camera is not too bad after all.
I still want the picture of the Dodo, sorry mythical bird sculpture but I want it when there is snow on the mountains.

It is a job for the tripod and a very clear day, I will get it!

Morecambe - There is plenty to do!

Perhaps you fell out of that trap. I know.... Vinegar and brown paper is what you need. ;D ;D Trev.. I'm sure you will get you're pic. But you WILL need a tripod and some patience.

Scun Thorpe: What kind of a moron are you, lee thorpe? Are you entirely incapable of elementary English? Jun 26, 2014 18:51:35 GMT

Scun Thorpe: I thought this forum would be of interest. Obviously, a silly idea: allowing the cerebrally challenged to come on here and post complete gibberish is exactly what to do if you're looking to shut down something that may have been of interest. Jun 26, 2014 18:53:35 GMT

WendyW: Evening all

I had been telling my hubby about the time I was in Morecombe when the Moby Dick and Hotel was hit by lightening and burnt down. My parents, sister and myself had just come off the Moby Dick when lightening stuck Jul 21, 2016 19:25:27 GMT

WendyW: As we walked away from the burning boat we walked past the Hotel, which had big stone balls on the towers, the lightening struck just as we walked past. I have a very healthy respect of thunderstorms.
