I mentioned yesterday that I'm away from home, but didn't say where. Before I tell you, I wonder how close you can get based on this picture. I know it's not much to go on, but in the past somebody has managed to work out my location from a photograph that I've posted that was far from obvious.

Oh, and I'm not in the UK, and the scale of this shot might not be immediately apparent ;-)

black forrest in Germany?

comment by Richard Trim at 09:51 PM (GMT) on 3 October, 2007

Ok I'll fall for it David. I've made a list of 347 possible sites ...Now which one will I choose? Leggo land in Denmark or a Bonsai arboretum.

comment by Ben at 09:58 PM (GMT) on 3 October, 2007

There's something weird about this. Like it's a picture of a picture. I think you're toying with us :-)

comment by Marcel Booth at 10:02 PM (GMT) on 3 October, 2007

You're all wrong! He's clearly in the internet.

(Or Canadialand)

comment by Skennz at 10:10 PM (GMT) on 3 October, 2007

Canada?

comment by Malcolm at 10:27 PM (GMT) on 3 October, 2007

New England?

comment by Gavin at 11:01 PM (GMT) on 3 October, 2007

Surely New England?

comment by Furanku at 11:01 PM (GMT) on 3 October, 2007

I would say Canada too

comment by Mandie at 11:06 PM (GMT) on 3 October, 2007

I would guess Colorado.

comment by Craig at 11:13 PM (GMT) on 3 October, 2007

Germany... I know

comment by Craig at 11:16 PM (GMT) on 3 October, 2007

soory didn't comment on photo.................. Theres some wierdness going on here, the more I look at this shot, the more it looks like an ornamental garden reflection or shot through glass (not your lens) type shot?... whats going on here, you magician...???

comment by urk! at 11:22 PM (GMT) on 3 October, 2007

north of california ?

comment by Parker at 11:26 PM (GMT) on 3 October, 2007

It's definitely taken through glass of some sort... a window? The trees look too detailed to be miniatures, I think, and the colors seem to be accurate for this time of year. I'm going to assume that you haven't left Europe (because your departure was so brief) but that's as much as I can narrow it down. I'm not very well-traveled, but I'll suggest France or second the Switzerland and Germany comments.

comment by bravelee at 12:04 AM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

comment by rambohoho at 12:08 AM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

hi bravelee, i know u think always as creative as u can. but i guess ur imagination will never match the reality.

comment by rambohoho at 12:09 AM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

comment by Rob at 03:50 AM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

This isn't a straight photo - thats for sure. No idea where you are.

comment by Stephanie at 04:49 AM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

I don't think it's new england. but it's definitely somewhere northerly where the foliage is already changing. my guess is "not in the US."

comment by Ryan Rahn at 06:02 AM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

Beautiful colors. I think it's good to take a break from your normal style.

comment by David Chabashvili at 06:30 AM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

Germany looks great here :) well, its not chromasia shot, but one of my fav subjects - great color palette!

comment by Jennifer at 07:20 AM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

Unusual but fab - the pretty ones must be Larch I suppose - and I guess this was your alchoholic trip?!

comment by Nick P at 07:53 AM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

comment by One Way at 08:42 AM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

Definitely New England

comment by thomas mueller at 08:49 AM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

this can be every forest in the world....
but nevertheless it's a very beautiful forest image and well toned by the autumn.

comment by The Plankmeister at 09:13 AM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

Sweden or Norway.

comment by Joseph at 10:24 AM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

i'm sure its a picture of a picture..theres some weird lens flare on the right hand side.
before you even asked us to guess where it was, It reminded me of a forest in prague.

comment by Aidan at 11:06 AM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

Hi David,

I'd love to get your opinion on my new blog:

Legoland.

comment by Kim - KP Images at 01:56 PM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

Beautiful image - love the gorgeous colors of the trees. I'm going to guess eastern upstate New York.

comment by paul at 02:39 PM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

Looks like Québec vegetation in Québec

comment by Carlos Garcia at 02:43 PM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

these are small plants... in a garden or field... they are not trees

comment by birgit at 02:50 PM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

comment by borntosleep at 04:24 PM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

I think i am going too far with my imagination... but maybe those are plants in the aquarium? ;)

comment by kheoh yee wei at 05:08 PM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

The colors is very harmony in this shot.

comment by miChou at 08:10 PM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

Japan? :D

comment by Rhys at 08:16 PM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

actually, is it wallpaper?

comment by djn1 at 08:46 PM (GMT) on 4 October, 2007

An aquarium????? ;-) It's a forest near Wiltingen, in Germany :-)

comment by Alex at 03:03 AM (GMT) on 5 October, 2007

The North Pole.

comment by RK at 08:00 AM (GMT) on 5 October, 2007

looks like the fall is finally in.
thanks for the wonderful pictures, wherever you are :-)

comment by Kasper at 10:13 AM (GMT) on 6 October, 2007

Couldn't the photo been taken from a cable way of some sort? Looks like window reflection down in the right corner. So i guess it might be in a ski-area?

comment by FewR@N at 05:38 PM (GMT) on 7 October, 2007

I also thought that it is a photo of an aquarium.
So, I guess you are in Japan, in a magnificent shop where they sell diverse greenish things for aquaria =D
