Is it in France? Also, is there some topical significance to it, or is it maybe your house where you live?

It is not in France. I don't live in it.

The location is more significant than the structure in the photo but the structure has significance as well.

This is Cabot Tower. Evidently, the FIRST Trans-Atlantic wireless message was sent from this spot!

Jim you are correct.



Cabot Tower, Signal Hill, St. John's Newfoundland. I've been there. Incredible view of city, harbour and the Atlantic.

Over to you.
