Yes in Bristol. The suspension chains were originally used to support the Hungerford bridge west of London.

The balloons in the photo are part of the annual Bristol balloon fiesta.

Great place

Fort Canning, WW2 command bunker, Fort Canning Park Singapore, looks like it from memory.

 

Vada won.? But we could be wrong !!

Hmmmm

 

Fort Canning is the location

Singapore is the city

 

Actual name is the Battle Box. Indeed, the WWII allied command bunker leading up to the fall of Singapore. Very moving redevelopment. 

 

vada-9 is up.

   There is a bit more to it than that, what am I looking at, and where on the Panama Canal is it

[MicCanberra]

Miraflores locks / lake, the bridge is the Centenary Bridge.

  It’s doesn’t have to be to quick for me to miss it especially if I was at the bar getting another cocktail, yes that is the lock on the left what is the canal on the right

[getting older slowly]

The right one is the Cocoli Locks ??

 

also the The West Tower on the bridge was built about 50 m inland to allow space for the future widening of the Panama Canal

  Correct, that is on the Pacfic side, the new extension to the canal where all the mega ships go through and the big cruise ships.We where going across the new canal gate in a bus on the Atlantic side when this giant gas ship was coming through.

Having done the Panama Canal twice, on Coral Princess and Island Princess, 2006 and 2016, I can highly recommend it, second time the new big canal was open, saw some mega ships.  For those of you who have not done it, do it, so much history and mystique.
