Well here is a place that is a little more recognizable, but still off the beaten tracks. ![[Linked Image]](https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KnO2JYzIu7s/XxnIBRDG0qI/AAAAAAAAGkk/F8_G4cWRdIwfM-Yipi9UrxAxJ7V-2lTJgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/TTOL5.jpg) Anybody been here?

Sorry Ellen you have not guessed correctly.
Hint 1 - The way most people go to see this formation is by Ferry.

Jeannius, Just to make it official... You are correct with the Needles ![joy joy](/images/graemlins/default/joy.gif) The Needles is where a young 23 year old Guglieimo Marconi set up the first radio transmission station in 1898. His invention based on Hertz electromagnetic wave theory from a decade earlier, brought wireless communication into the 20th Century. Over and Out

The yellow and red boat makes me think the picture was taken in Malta. Maybe going to see the blue grotto up close?

Trying to get on or off the dock at Saba? That's a nice guess but not correct. Hint... It is an island in the Atlantic.

Correct. I thought it might take little longer but as soon as I put where a french general spent his last days it came straight up. St Helena was amazing. When we were there, 2011, there was no airport and no proper harbour. Those lines hanging down from the frame are what you had to grab hold of to get ashore in anything other than dead calm conditions! Since then they've built what is often described as the world's most useless airport. Not planned properly and the most common approach direction suffers from severe wind shear regularly which results in flights being cancelled for days at a time.

Antibes? I actually saw a travel show a few months back including St Helena, I believe the host jumped on a cargo or mail ship to get there? Interesting exile for Napoleon RMS (Royal Mail Ship) St Helena. Did/Does a once a month round trip from Cape Town.

I was going to guess Devil's island with Dreyfus but was not sure Devil's Island was in the Atlantic. Living by phone at daughter house. I am now a poppa for the 4th time mom and baby doing well!

Yes to Antibes! Another winner. I wasn't sure about that. I know Antibes has a wall like that but I suspect another 20 places in the Med probably have something similar. Now I've got to find another picture!
