Maybe easy, maybe not.

Morea, Tahiti

My immediate reaction is that it's some fancy hotel in the Maldives, I've never been but they seem to be into those sheds over water.

Going to give it to you, right island chain and expecting the exact atoll might be seen as being exceedingly petty.

Something a bit different :

 

[SteveH aka shetc]

That's the new Crimean Trump Tower, being opened by its owner.

 

[Northern_Brewer]

So by way of a little clue - this is a ceremony to open something, and part of it is on the skyline (in other words, the ceremony isn't opening something that's off-camera).

So what might look like that and justify a fancy ceremony?

 

[beermanpete]

Is it a desalination plant?

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Is it a desalination plant?

No - and it's unlikely one would be needed in that part of the world.

Nuclear power plant?

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Could be...

Technically it's not the Windscale piles which were the first nuclear reactors on what is now the Sellafield site, built after WWII to produce material for atom bombs. But it is the opening by the Queen on 17 October 1956 of Calder Hall, an extension to the site hosting the world's first nuclear reactor producing electricity into the grid, so I'll give it to you.

@Cheshire Cat , you're up

Clue not in England.

Llangollen Canal, Llangollen, Wales. We were there in 1989, but I couldn't find my picture (taken from the valley below) to get the proper name of the aqueduct from it.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Close it is the Llangollen canal but I want the name of the structure and the place it is located.

Check the internet aqueduct Llangollen canal over the Dee.

Feels like Italy?

Feels like Italy?

That's because it is.

Naples?

 

[D.B.Moody]

Not Naples. About 5% the size of Naples, but, like Naples, a regional capital.
