I'm too impatient to do that, I see a blank page and I'm gone.

Yes, some great stuff there, but no clue as to the castle.

| My first guess was Masada, but I thought it was flatter on top ... |

I'd agree with GeneralE. Looks like Masada to me

| I'm 99% certain it's not Massada, but it is more than 25 years since I visited... |

| possibly somewhere in the south of France, in/around Provence? Kind of reminds me of Roussillon, but I don't think its there. The url in the corner links to a France-based website. |

| The first thing that came to mind were the mountain top villages of Yemen, one such town is called Kohlan. |

After comparing a few pics found online, it doesn't look like your pic is Masada. I would like to know now, too!

Right, Masada is flatter on top and looks out over the Dead Sea plain, not a valley ... Masada from the air

I've magnified it way big, and it looks a LOT more middle-eastern than it does south-of-France to me. It's definitely not Masada. For some reason I'm wondering if it could be in Algeria, also...

This is Masada: Masada

| Does look a lot more arid than south of france ... maybe north africa? At any rate, I found the websiteit came from, and its pretty fascinating -- there are thousands of aerial shots from all over the globe, and you can search by country or region. I couldn't find this one after about 10 minutes of looking, but had some fun trying! |

This has got me going now! I thought possibly somewhere in Italy or Spain, there are a large number of monestaries built in hilltops in those regions. But almost anywhere from France to Turkey are also options.
Hurry up someone and find out! |

Doesn't give anymore info on location.

Amazing what 57000 adroit idle minds can do in under an hour.
Now, where were those WMDs? |
