South Stack?

The zig-zag path down the cliff looks familiar.

I had guessed Florence but beyond that I'd have been googling churches in the City and throwing out guesses as it wasn't any that I'd been in. I'd hoped someone who had would pick up the baton!

Nice photo - really shows of the folding of the rock strata.

Old photo time.... The building in the background has had a revamp since, but the colour is unchanged.

That would have been my first guess too.

So, somewhere in Cape Town?

Yes - that's the easy bit...

Name of the building in the background? It was painted a distinctive colour to celebrate the end of WW1...

No problem, it's not the church specifically that I was hoping someone would know, it's more where the picture was taken from.

For anyone interested, here's a clue;

The shed or the building that looks very much like it wasn't around in 1918?

The latter smile

I've no idea when that particular part was built, but the location in question is well-know locally for it's pinkness.
