OK, I think I shouldn't have guessed, as I didn't really have pictures ready.
Anyway, for this one, both pictures are the same country, and I'm going for the name of the country.

No,
I used to watch a webcam called Pete's Pond that was in Botswana and that first photo reminded me of it.

Fran--good deal! That bird is called an African Fish Eagle, very similar to our bald eagle. The below picture, if I was really good with photo editing, I would clone the end of his wing, so this would be a perfect picture, but I think it's a decent pic as is. I waited about half an hour for the bird to take wing, so I could get a picture of him flying.

Not sure why the picture is displaying only as a link, but after reviewing the link I think the shot was taken in Greece

oh crap... I know the island cannot remember the name.
we passed it when we went from Poros (not Paros) to Spetses
if you make that sail it is on your port
the Capt was telling stories about it.
I got 10 hours google, or.... if went to the old scrap book of that trip... It has a map...
Oh no I have an ethical dilemma!
Not sure there is a rule on that

Hmmm - we saw the boat from the movie, Key Largo, in Islamorada several years ago. It was made by the same builder as Hemingway's boat but looks a little different. But the other photos don't look like Islamorada so I don't think that's correct.

There were several boats in the Keys allegedly in the movie, including one in the now closed Ziggys in Islamorada. A great place where the menus were all verbal and the food fantastic!

The shot is from Tilloo Banks in Abaco. It's a very large sandbar that can be just five feet at low tide. As you approach, the water looks like it is lit from below. I love the contrast in this picture of the brightness of the water color against the steel gray clouds from the approaching storm, punctuated by the white sails of the boat in the distance.

This might be a bit tricky, but then again, perhaps not. Not a lot to go on. Where were these taken? The arch might give it away.

Honeymooned on Cozumel 40+ years ago! Learned from multiple cruise stops that it is best to rent a Jeep at the international cruise pier and circuit the island. You can’t get lost, just keep the water on your right, stop at the beach bars and avoid the tourists in San Miguel.

Island next to Notre Dame is Ile Saint-Louis. Cross the bridge and get glorious ice cream!

I've seen that crazy building in the trees above the bridge on TV, Vancouver.

It looks like it should be in Italy or Greece but for some reason I'm thinking the UK? Go figure.

While I can't see anything identifying in the image, I'm a fan of Zydeco so with the squeeze-box and washboard I'm going to have guess New Orleans.

Scratch that guess - I saw the "River Island" store and made the mistaken assumption that they exist in the USA, but I believe that the they don't. Add in the cobblestones and the backpacker I'll amend my guess to Dublin. I worked there for a bit and loved it - despite the weather. I not only tried the James Joyce new-bar-every-night-for-Guinness but learned to how to correctly spell and pronounce "Siobhán" while there

Not the Netherlands, and here's another picture. Hopefully, it doesn't contain a lot of obvious clues like national flags and stores.

Ok, so what appears to be European coat of arms on flags, that big metal thing left over from WWII, what’s left of the front of a building that was probably bombed, a lot of people waiting for something, and I still have no clue!

The metal object looks like a sculpture of some sort, perhaps a memorial considering the apparently bombed out building wall. I've seen things like that in England. Plymouth?
