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.

I may send that second pic to my buddy Tom B and see if he is able to photoshop it for me. If I could have gotten the tip of his wing in, I think it would have been close to perfect.
Wow... I thought when I retired I would have lots of free time... I have not slowed down yet! First time to get online in days.
I will have to look through the files for eagle shots - There have been some great ones posted We live next door to 2000 Acre State Park that has the largest eagle roost on the east coast. We love watching them hunt our pond. I have yet to catch them snagging a fish with a photo, but have seen it several times Just Amazing!

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

TomB you must of sailed by this island as I did and you have a picture that comes from round the corner Assini but I can't remember what its called , are we allowed to look at maps not google maps
TomB, yup on the port on the way to Stepses. But we stopped on the way back to Piraeus. The city quay can be quite congested. We were first on the boardwalk on our cat, by dark it was three boats deep. When we left the next day our anchor was fouled. Bummer, but we got it off.
A famous Italian actress said it was “one of the most beautiful places in the world” (No googling allowed yet)
Sorry Fred not close enough with Amsterdam... But it is a 40 minute bus ride from Amsterdam It is not Rotterdam either... wrong direction from Amsterdam
I will answer question two just to blow you away... The murals are made from cigar bands... In fact 11.5 million of them. Following WWII cigars became available again this gentleman started gluing the bands together to make these amazing walls in his house. Later the walls were transferred to this town's museum.
“Every time I open a bottle of wine, it is an amazing trip somewhere!” José Andrés
Not Gouda Edam is the next town.. and is just minutes away from the right answer
This town as I said earlier usually on the day trip circuit from Amsterdam. On the sea and beautiful. The town does have a small museum you pass as you walk into town that has the cigar rooms, and wonderful collection of traditional clothing, and great collection of stuff from the Dutch resistance
I used these pics so next time one is in Amsterdam and take the day trip they will stop by the museum

Not even getting a guess based on this edifice, so I'll try another picture. This one is my first attempt using Paint and I don't know if I painted everything or if it can be undone by viewers.
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.
You got it! It's on the East side of Coz. You're up.
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. Photo coming up
I know Notre Dame sits on one but not the name ,that brige leads to the Grand Palace if I remember right,the clue was the Ferris wheel if that was blocked out I would not of clicked from that fuzzy pic
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
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?

Swifty is the winner, on the way to that market at the bottom of the hill, a gentleman offered to buy my blonde daughter, followed by another gentleman running around in his underwear yelling that his head was on fire.
I shouldn't be guessing from my phone as your picture looks nothing like Giants Causeway. Since Ellen was closer, what about somewhere on Cape Cod like Provincetown?
In picture 1, I figured someone playing had been there and picture 2 clue is off in the distance. The "Five O'clock Somewhere" bar is in the building in the background in picture 3 below.
