How did they get a 90 degree view angle on the pic?
Elementary my dear Watson :-)The google image was key. Your photo with the clouds (and the mention of Aberdeen) were shown to be misleading with the blue water and sky in the google image (for once not taken at dawn). The regional wiggly border implied it was somewhere that defined their borders when fine detail was importent. These things pointed to somewhere in old Europe and not Scotland and probably not Scandinavia. The mountains were significant so I thought of the Italian lakes to start then moved over to Austria, Switzerland, Southern Germany. There are not that many lakes near big mountains so it took about 30 minutes. I was probably a bit lucky too.
Geezer, did you have this pic all the time? Tut tut!
Did your brother go there to take the photo?

Here are the links which were attached to the photos from the Geezer hotline ...http://www.ruleworks.co.uk/Ayrshire/wellington-school.asphttp://www.197aerial.co.uk/ayr_wellington_school.htmAs well as Googling, Geezer brother did manage to squeeze out some more detail second time around ...
Not much to narrow this one down. I'd hazard a guess at Priest Lake.
It looks like Geezer's brother did a good job of finding relevent pics on the internet. It's very hard to find a site with just the right pics so amazingly well done. The higher res pics would have been a help too. It is certainly much clearer that the it is the town hall spire.
