Sunday afternoon, Australian GP finished on TV, had to find something useful to do.
The picture just had that derelict Russian feel about it. It was the foliage in the bottom right hand corner gave it away.

Double whammy...

Correct on first one... excellent spot.

Second one is not a Lake anything but there is a link with the Seamew. Clue the Seamew had another name.
