How in hell did you find that? I spent about 15 minutes looking at Google maps and got cross eyed.
At first I was mimicking reader comments I see all the time claiming they know every cool picture is really a photoshop because of some dumb ass reasons. When you responded I didn't know if you were pulling my leg or not, so I threw in the explanation to see how it played out. Besides, there might be some reader who will be edumacated by reading it.

I did that first, searching with the image posted, and came up with only Russian sites.
I even Google translated the sites looking for a clue, but all the pictures looked the same. I didn't see any with a name. You, Sir, are a champion sleuth. edit~ Went to your link. Google didn't give me any of those sites with lightened images, when I searched. Maybe the Google serving Brits is better.

I still do not see any bridge shadows, but can easily live with that hole in my life.
The photos are obviously of the same place, but not so obviously different pictures. |

Taking the original photo and lightening it up in photoshop...
it doesn't look like the others, although someone with skills could probably do it. I think it was a series of pictures taken from the same spot, same camera, and likely same progressing day. That's all guesses but thanks to Carruthers we know for sure where.

I've just realised that I didn't make myself quite as clear as I should have done in my earlier post.
I found the image in post #19 in the third site listed in my Google Image search results here: Link. It's the first image in the top row. Sorry about that everyone.

No, I understood that part, just trying to figure out why Google likes you best.

It looks hair raising enough on four wheels, let alone two. Commentary is in Norwegian but that's a minor consideration. There would appear to be several other similar videos on YouTube but I haven't had time to explore.

That's interesting, because when I saw the picture I thought immediately of the Troll Hunter movie. And that movie doesn't even have any winding mountain road scenes.
