Sorry for the delay in posting. Been asleep. Finding a photo now.

With a name like "Angelique" I'd wager a French place, but that doesn't jibe with the penguins in the window... I'll hazard a wild guess of somewhere in the Marquesas? Cancel that - I couldn't wait and googled it because I was so intrigued. Hence I've disqualified myself from guessing this picture and my responses and questions should be ignored

Yes there are some 'mis-directions' in the photo I wish I'd chosen another location for today... I'm watching the Tour de France and today's stage finishes in a ski resort I've been to a couple of times. Should have used a photo from there. Zanshin... Just been looking at your stuff on GitHub... We have some old programming languages in common F77 and PL/1. Did a lot of Intel Assembler as well back in the day. Although I'm officially retired I still write stuff in C and it's later derivatives as and when someone pays me.

it is the sign that has me confused on the side of the building. He has a seal and the word "Indefatigable" which was a British Battleship sank at the battle of Jutland...
But the surroundings do not look like the north Atlantic...

Mike - I currently do work with big data and big data warehouses, which is trendy and pays quite well. But I've been offered gigs to do COBOL and PL/1 work which have a significantly higher hourly wage because all of the "old" programmers have retired or died off! I still remember in the early 1980's when I was told that "COBOL is a dead language, it has no future" Just as with the dead language of Latin - if you want to become a doctor you had better learn it... p.s. If you'd chosen the Tour-de-France picture I'd be up at bat by now!

Galapagos is correct. This was going to be the next photo... Lonesome George was still there in 2010 but I believe he is no more. The original HMS Indefatigable did visit the Galapagos back in 1812 but the name plate on the wall probably relates to the WW2 vessel of the same name. Your turn Tom.

People in the UK made a fortune from the banks making sure the systems kept working. I bet many of them of them are still going now!

I am the world's worst speller so close counts! But I am sorry S.G. is not the place.
I spelled the next hint so bad that if one capitalized one letter and unscrambled the word it would be a good clue
