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.

That one I'm guessing is somewhere in the southern US, WAG South Carolina.

jphart, you're up. It is the Sanibel Light. One of our favorite places to visit in FL and where we honeymooned almost 40 years ago.

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

No idea on location myself.

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, yup on the port on the way to Stepses. But we stopped on the way back to Piraeus.

Well here is one from a few years ago... This has a twist
Where was the picture taken?
What are we looking at?

I think the building on the left is Independence Hall, so in Philadelphia.
