      It is in Europe, and is for entertainment purposes.

          I simply guessed at Brunei because the Sultan spends the interest of his investments on the people, according to Islamic law. One of the things he did was to build a gigantic amusement park with all the latest rides, totally free of charge to anyone who cares to go along. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerudong_Park I visited it about 1998. Very impressive.

          As your palm trees look tatty, how about the UK? Alton Towers or Thorpe?

            It is Spain. But where? There aren't too many of these things in the world. This one is allegedly 100m tall.

              Is it the Moncloa tower in Madrid?

                No, this is infinitely more symmetrical than that.

                  It is the Innfinito viewing tower in the Terra Mitica park, Benidorm. Phew!

                    Yep. I've been up it by day and by night. A great park too.

                        I'd say that's St Joseph's church in Le Havre, with Le Volcan in front of it. The bridge is a footbridge spanning the Basin de Commerce.

                        I knew those school trips would come in handy one day!

                            OK, try this. It's from a slightly unusal angle, as I reckon the traditional view would be way too easy.



                            You are after the central building.

                              That's Freemasons' Hall in London.

                                Correct. Below is the more traditional view. If you have ever seen the BBC TV program Spooks, they use that as the front entrance for the MI5 hq.
