Somewhere in Morocco, Sir. By the way I've never received so many likes so fast!
EDIT: It's a road in the Atlas Mountains, Morocco.
From the internet:
Dades Gorge or Gorges du Dadès, Morocco. A gorge carved by the Dades River separates Atlas and Anti-Atlas (or Lesser Atlas) mountain range. Recently the gorge and neighboring Berberian kasbahs became a popular tourist attraction.
The Dades Valley, also known as a Road of a thousand Kasbahs, stretches 160 km (100 mi) from Ouarzazate to the east of Tineghir. The winding road offers stunning views to the gorge and historic kasbahs. Tourists often refer to this as the most memorable experience in Morocco.
If you go to google and type in "Morocco curvy road" and search under images similar photos will pop up. Which if funny because prior to going to Morocco I didn't search for what kinds of photos to take and here is a photo I took that probably thousands of others have taken.
Hardly recent (2008!) but might be of interest nonetheless. Shot #1 is out of a Fuji 690GWIII. It's holy Lake Manasarovar (4580m) in West Tibet, the centre of the universe to Buddhists and Hindus and Jains - and the Bön people left over from before Tibetan Buddhism began in the 7th century. Over 1.5 billion people revere this place. More people die on nearby Mount Kailash than on Everest. It's considered very auspicious to die around here.
Shot #2 is from a Fuji GA645 (from memory) at the entry to the Lha Chu Valley towards Mt Kailash. The ridge (4800m) is a Tibetan charnel ground, pilgrims leave mementos or even teeth here. The Barkha Plain lies in the near distance. Scanned on a Minolta MultiPro and a lot of PS work, I used Fuji Reala 120 in those days.

Wow, the plains, mountains and sky look like a movie backdrop!
