That would be the lighthouse Rincon is touted as one, if not the best, surfing location in the Caribbean. Surfing World Championships have been held there in the past.
My wife and I lived about 10 miles from the lighthouse back in the 70s. This picture taken about 8 years ago
jphart has the honors... where are we headed now?

You were quick to catch the flag hint. Indeed the railing is visible. Reef is in view and over 1800 feet deep. Now, from where are you gazing, and at what settlement?
I did not catch any hint... It was purely a guess.
I have never been to the Bahamas except to fly over in a Coast Guard Aircraft on a search or land and medivac some tourist who did something stupid or had an unfortunate illness or accident.
It just looked like the Bahamas so that is what I guessed.

Hopetown - Elbow Cay I believe. Unfortunately massive destruction in the area from Hurrican Dorian but the lighthouse is still standing. Will pass my turn on more photos but wanted to guess!
Sailing guide: From the waypoint HPTWN named for this destination, head toward Eagle's Rock. When the narrow concrete road is straight, turn and head directly bearing 149° as though you were going to drive onto it. Turn to starboard and proceed into this harbor.
I’d think Mike and BEERMAN have traversed that course and into this harbor.

Good memory JP! I don't remember seeing a light house in the distance when we motored through man-o-war cut, it was nighttime, raining and..... I was kinda busy on the bow with a flood light looking down!!!! We stayed at Abaco Beach Resort. Wonder how it recovered after the storms??
Here’s the famous Hopetown lighthouse, Harbour and Atlantic Ocean. We sailed here five years ago, and two years ago rented a house on White sound across the street from the Abaco Inn. I hear they are making progress in the Abacos. Approach guidelines are from Dodge sailing guide.
Three coins in the fountain one of the clues? Didn’t look it up. Stayed at the Trivi hotel across the street in 2009. Gotta find a pix, running out, as I lost a hard drive 10 years ago
Ok, speaking of easy...maybe this will draw some lurkers? How about a newbie to the game? Sleepy, BEERMAN and TomB are disqualified for six hours! Come on, step up to the plate - your turn to show your stuff,
OK, you can't use an HTML location. It has to be a jpeg. If it is a jpeg, you can upload it to the TTOL Photo Gallery. If you need more instructions, PM me..
The other way which may be easier but does not render a high res photo is
Use the full editor In the grey section at the bottom of the window you will see Attachment Manager Click on Attachment manager It will open another window and allow you to drag and drop from your computer or use a file select a file Once you have completed that hit done And you are finished. When you post your response the picture will be attached at the bottom
And now Winterstale you are in the game... and I am clueless

Remember TomB's rules....no Google image lookup for first 18 hours of original photo post!
HaHa Mike - Busted
For the new folks - we have an 18 hour no google rule (honor system) so all time zones have a fair shot - make sure you photo does not have the name of the location in the file name - it has to be a picture you have taken - after a guess or two it is polite to give a hint... The more obscure the hint the better.
We have enjoyed traveling the world through other people's eyes during this period of the germ. We welcome you, and look forward visiting the places you have seen.
All lurkers welcomed

I believe that is a building in Graz, Austria - the Kunsthaus
Correct, from Wikipedia: Owing to its shape contrasting with its surroundings, it is known in local vernacular as the "Friendly Alien"
Great to hear from you, Zanshin! Hope you are doing much better, though like so many of us, not sailing back in de lions. We know you have tens of thousands of photos. Tease us with one?
Technically, Zanshin has to yes or no to my guess before the next picture should be posted. Albeit, I am 99.9999999999999999999999999999999999% I am correct. Let us give Zanshin a chance to chime in and hopefully give a little back story on what we are looking at.
“Every time I open a bottle of wine, it is an amazing trip somewhere!” José Andrés
TomB - you have it. I have a place in Bingen am Rhein, just a couple of miles away. It is the best wine country in Germany and the Rhine river has always been an important trade route and border in Europe.
Truly beautiful spot and you could not be more correct about the wine!
For our next destination we go the movies! In this case not the movie, but the backstory... and oh what a back story! I feel like the guy on TCM introducing a classic... And in fact it was a classic.
Where would one have to go to cross this bridge?

I'm going to have to defend myself here against calumnious suggestion that I might have broken the rules I believed I knew the answer, unfortunately incorrectly, and simply used google to try and confirm my thoughts. Having learnt that I was probably incorrect I didn't go on to attempt to find the correct answer. Therefore I believe, your honour, that I acted within the spirit and letter of the law.
And while I'm here being petty and pedantic... The earlier answer should have been the Trevi Fountain, not the Trivi.
As self-assigned rule maker and that power was seconded by Carol, who is truly the last word on the board, it is within my power to totally exonerate you on the charge against you. Considered it done!
Go forth and guess more!
As for the shortfall in spelling it is far from me to judge anyone on speling or gramor. Just ain’t my thing specialy foreign palabras.
TravelHat
Telephone lines are every photographer’s nightmare! Dug this shot up from when the bridge was famous. No lines to be seen.

Ellen is correct! Richard and Elizabeth were quite the number. They were all over the tabloids with their steamy relationship. Only problem was they were both married.
When Burton got the lead role in Night of the Iguana, Taylor followed him down to Puerto Vallarta, as did the movie press. The movie studio had a fit, and the Mexican authorities were outraged. Mexico laws were still heavily influenced by the Church. In fact the Pope called them out publicly on their debauchery.
Burton solved the problem by buying Casa Kimberly so the two were no longer living together. Burton's apartment was on one side of the street and Taylor's house on the other.
The rest is history. It was not a Camelot ending.
DanS was the first to chime in.
BTW - took both the pics to make the clue. PhotoShop is great.
“Every time I open a bottle of wine, it is an amazing trip somewhere!” José Andrés
Well done. Damn, I didn't look closely enough to see those clues. Astor Place actually merges into 8th Street. The cube sculpture is called Alamo, and it rotates if you push hard enough. The brown building is Cooper Union, my alma mater. Beyond the traffic light on the left is St. Marks Place, a major hippy hangout back in the day.
Got hit by a stomach flu last night. Down hard TravelHat has 18 hours to post a new pic then whoever uploads first starts game again. Newbies encouraged To sick to do math carry on travellers

We haven't been to Neyland Stadium, but partied with the Vol Navy in a land battle at the state line a few years ago!! They wooped us...but we keep in touch with the Vols we tailgated with, great people!!
Neyland Stadium is a lot of fun and once you go, the song Rocky Top will be running in a loop in your head for a while.
We tried to get on the boats, but didn't have any luck. It is quite a sight, all the boats rafted to the dock in the shadow of the stadium. The Vol Navy is quite an organized group. We still somehow managed to enjoy ourselves though!
Ellen, I went to Neyland several years ago to watch my beloved Irish lose to the Vols. No doubt the loudest stadium I have ever been in. It took days to get that dang song out of my head.
Pure guess on my part due to good clues and SEC history. No google search, I swear. As a Gator, haven’t been in that enemy territory.
Florida v Georgia game brings some boat traffic, but not as big as Knoxville. I bought a boat a few years ago just to take it to the Worlds Largest Cocktail Party.
Yes it is, great talent there. Caffeine Carl is my wife’s “cousin”
Winner! (I purposely left the license plate in the photo)
Green Parrot is across the street from Mile Marker Zero. Our SIL lived in a house a half block down on Southard St. The live music would keep us up 'til late at night during our visits
Funny, we were just talking about Florence with our friends this weekend!! Walking the Arno River and crossing the bridges was a relaxing highlight, but the nighttime view from our room was always nice to come home to!
hint..I was running the same road as Foooorest,,,Fooorest Guuuump nearing the end of his journey. I see a lot of pics on the web of Forrest but don't know about copyright issues posting one.....
It was here that we experienced perhaps the most beautiful sunrise and sunset that we've ever seen...per the "Tom Rule" google away in a few minutes...
Yep, Monument Valley in the Navajo Nation! We stayed at The View hotel run by the Navajo and highly highly recommend it. The last 2 pics were from our balcony. "Probed" ugh...good luck with that and you are next up to post!
I’m looking at the pic on my phone, tiny but I might see an Illy coffee flag? It’s everywhere, but since it’s italian I’ll guess Amalfi Coast to beg for another clue?.....
I think it would be most interesting to hear about all the places Sleepychef has worked, such an interesting life. Seems like you have been or worked just about everywhere! I'm a tad jealous, must say.
Jeannius is correct, best place I ever provisioned, sat in one shop and the guy had his boys run to the butchers, fishmongers and everywhere I needed while I sat and drank, he overcharged but it was worth it as every time I went in for a personnel shop he never charged me.
Needed the second clue before I remembered the name. Done several charters from Marmaris in the past but never got to Gocek.
Here's a photo that I took while with several TTOL members, but, I don't think any of them are participating in the game so hopefully it'll last a little while...
Maybe the main ScotRail station? I forgot the specific name. The only reason I guessed Glasgow was the color of the signs. The Scottish Tourist bureau uses that color and I just guessed Glasgow.

Dang - we got a player! I was wondering how you made the jump to Glasgow so quickly.
And I am positive that EllenS is on track!

I looked it up before 18 hours was up. I didn't go there as I spent time in pubs instead of art museums. i guess my cultural stuff is meeting the locals over a few pints of Tennents.
sleepchef didn't, but I was born in that neck of the woods and lived a couple of towns upriver. I bet you are looking forward to putting in some clues, perhaps with song references. If nobody guesses it then I'll answer but I kind of feel like I'm cheating if I were to answer it right away.
I understand your last post now (had to google the song to see if Mr. BACHARACH had sung it), so before I named it I searched my picture archive in Lightroom and found an appropriate next picture to post.
The town in your picture is Bacharach am Rhein. I used to work in Wiesbaden and we would frequently get visitors from headquarters in the USA, which meant I got to take them on castle and wine tasting tours at company expense so I've been to Bacharach many a time. The infamous "Loreley" bend in the Rhine is just downriver.
