Today I present you with the first of the newer look tricky questions. It's a two part question, and quite obviously the first part has been modified. There is a bonus point for correctly identifying what/where the background is.  *Click for larger version* Part 2 will be along a little later today for anyone struggling thus far. |

Yah, that's Moor Park in the foreground - the photo is of the country end of the local line island.

Why is there an unequalateral triangle visible in the blue tower at the bottom just above platform level?

Pass. I'm guessing that I was going to block out just that bit originally or maybe not block that bit of what is blocked? I made the modifications to this photo nearly 3 weeks ago (it was one of the first I did for this month) and I'm no expert with the software!

Very good choice for the background pic, looks like summat out of the Sound Of Music... Chiltern Hills, at a guess!

It does look a bit like the Chilterns, although I never remember getting winch-launched in the glider off the platform at Moor Park! The picture gives me the urge to go gliding, and I've left the club now  |

Is that a tumulus (spelling please?)
Dartmoor, Other end from Oakhampton?

It isn't a tumulus (which you spelt correctly), and it isn't Dartmoor or anywhere else in southern England

Well done edb, it is the North Yorkshire Moors, specifically it is the view south from Whitby Abbey.
It was chosen only because the composition fit what I needed, not due to the name.
