Corbiere Lighthouse, Jersey?

I think you may very well be right, I can't quite see it from my office window.

Shame!

Do you think I can assume that I am right, seeing as Planet Claire has posted and buggered off?

[Fishtigua]

Claire seems to work funny hours, I think it should be okay to go ahead.

Well, I'm in the office, and can't find the one I wanted to post, so will go with this:

Pointless bridge is pointless, but where is it?

Somewhere near Chernobyl?

Define 'near'?

(No, not really)

[trashbat]

Well, I'll start the bidding.

Italy?

[v15ben]

In Europe?
Chernobyl was a total guess tbh.
I actually have no idea!

No.

But closer to Italy than Chernobyl!

[thegreenhell]

Looks like one of the Balkan states.

Sorry, I've been at Goodwood today.
Yes, it is Corbiere lighthouse, well done.

Nice.

Ta.

Andora?

[thismonkeyhere]

Not Andorra.

[Amateurish]

France?

[thismonkeyhere]

Not France either.

I hope this isn't too obscure. It's so splendidly silly, and visible from the main road heading out of a Capital city, that I thought someone else must have seen it. Maybe not.

Eastern Europe?

No (as defined by the CIA).

Yes (as defined by the EU).

[Amateurish]

Romania? What is that random bridge?

Not Romania.

The bridge, as explained to me by a knowledgeable local I worked with, was part of a highways project for which funds dried up. It's been there about 15 years or so, I think.

What I couldn't work out, or get an answer to, was where the road was supposed to go after the bridge. Straight up the ridge? Through a tunnel? All seems very odd.

Mind you, having experienced some of the way things get done over there (or don't) it wouldn't surprise me much if it was built in the wrong place entirely.
