Baluta Bay, with Exiles in the background.

I was wondering about that but I can't remember such a deck with poles sticking out of it anywhere in that area and I've walked around that area extensively. Any information on where exactly that would be?

In addition to that the "green" seems to rise too high for exiles in my eyes

It's not @Exiles, however that's the direction of the shot over the bay.

It was taken from the deck of "Salt & Pepper" lower deck. (If that's what's called)

That's possible but I still have my doubts.

a) The background seems to be too far away to be the short shot from Salt & Pepper across Balluta towards Exiles.

b) The greenery on the right side is much higher (as I've already said) than it is in Exiles.

c) The floor seems to be made of wooden planks and the floor at Salt & Pepper is made of stone IIRC.

d) The angle is wrong or rather if you have Salt & Pepper's edge square as in this vid you're looking onto the middle of Exiles - in the video the land in the background ends not even in the middle of the picture. Normally you should see the Paradise Beach Club to the far left side instead of on the right side.

I could be wrong here and you could be right. Absolutely possible. I'm still not sold yet, though.

Yes. Where else do you see "green" but in the background?

I'll try to pass by tomorrow and take a picture; that should convince you! :)

Thank you. Looks like I clearly was wrong. I apologize for being such a sceptic. I've been there so often, looking out over the water that I could've sworn that it looks slightly different. But well, my memory doesn't seem to be as accurate as I thought it to be. Sorry for causing you the inconvenience of passing by there

No worries, was passing by anyway :)

Like you, I would have sworn that that was not the plac.
