Where is the location could I ask?

See, the reason I've generally not warmed to fisheye lenses is that they're typically used in a fairly gratuitous fashion, should that make sense. Unsure whether that's the correct word or not, but what I mean to say is that fisheye lenses often seem to be used purely for the sake of it where other lenses would be much better suited to the purpose at hand. The way you used the lens is bang on. A really nice range of colours you've captured, too. I'd be pleased with that image personally.

While it's not a lens that I would use on a regular basis, I have seen some extremely well done shots with a fisheye... and therefore I would not discount this type of lens... Photos that were about content not fisheye rendering... e.g. the Milky Way with...
