I love this view, even after passing it hundreds of times. It's taken from the cycleway. Behind the camera is the barbed wire fence of HP's labs and the university, with the MOD, shopping mall and ring-road beyond. To the right is Lockleaze School and Bristol's northern suburbs. To the left is the motorway and Bristol's north eastern suburbs. Just over the hill behind the transmitter is Tescos, Ikea and then Bristol city centre. But if you compose the photo right you can pretend none if it's there.

BT, Ordnance Survey and the BBC all have it down for two words, and the two words get about six times as many hits on Google.

"Official"? ;) It appears to be some half completed pressure group site that hasn't been updated in two years! Is flickr broken for everyone else this afternoon? I can't see any pictures :(
