Hopefully, this will be recognized by a few players here - I don't mean yours truly but the thing in the background.

Fred--you know, I HATE that bridge!!
Ever since I was a little girl, my mom installed in me a deep fear of high bridges, and that one is the one that I most often have had to deal with!!

I'm afraid I don't know about the latest photo. But if I can back up one destination, that Pont de Normandie does look beautiful from the photos. It seems that cable-stayed designs have become very popular for their aesthetics, and are used for many new bridges including three here in the NYC area. But that one looks particularly impressive.

I know !! I just want to get on a plane to somewhere...anywhere .
To make matters worse all of my Facebook memories this week are from BVI trips for the past 10 years ..this is the first year in the past several decades that we were home for the entire Canadian winter ...which can be brutal at times
We have a boat but it is covered with snow and we are dreaming of the day we can sit on a lawn chair on an actual lawn

Looks like typical German posts for the wine, and typical German houses on the hill and an old Roman lookout tower, perhaps from the "Limes". At first I thought it might be along the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer rivers, but the Limes would put it further east along either the Rhine or Main. Am I close or very far off?

Ah, I'm sipping a nice Franken wine right now - but my next picture is not from a wine-growing region. The tree is a ficus (fig) tree, not known for growing in central European regions.:

If it is the USA I don't know where would support plants like the ones shown. The stone in the building looks like the kind of stuff used in places like St Kitts.

Mike, those plants are quite common in FL. I had many of them in my yard when I lived there. However he did say it wasn't in FL. You might find them in southern CA or Hawaii as well but I don't know. It does resemble buildings in St Kitts.

I knew it wasn't Hamilton's house, but the vegetation looked like some I recall seeing at a higher elevation. This next picture is definitely from an obscure location, but I know of one person who has possibly seen this.

I didn't recognise the 'sculpture' Fred. Must have arrived since I was there. Then I had to google the beach name so ruled myself out of answering. Did they still have the same dinghy-landing system when you were there...

Winner. The Tip Top Tap was a Speakeasy. The story is they would shut down the elevators when the raid came and by the time the feds climbed the stairs to the roof, everyone and the booze was gone.

Ok, highest tide is Bay of Fundy but what town/village this is I have no idea. Possibly Campobello (sp?).

I have a friend that lives in New Minas NS and she is a photographer as well. Maybe that's why so many of your great shots look so familiar. She also used to be on TTOL but haven't seen her post in ages, actually, I haven't heard from her in ages.

Kim, your pictures are very, very good. I seem to find a power line or some such obstruction to be in the foreground of mine. Next, even using Google, I would have picked the wrong island. I guess since you have disclosed the location, you get to go again.

It is the southwest most point of St. John. I see it to my right when I sail (or take the ferry from the BVI) past "Current Rock" heading towards Charlotte Amalie

This picture is taken from another beach close by. The beach in the initial picture is located just past the hilltop marked by the mast of the trimaran at the dock in this picture.

The clues I see (i.e. fence and sign) look like one of those private islands in the BVI, but the beach is open to the public. Guana?

The island that these two beaches are on is not part of Grenada and not on Guana Island. Both beaches are open to the public. The latter beach is tougher to get to, though - a long 500m walk from the road on a rocky dirt path; despite that, it is usually pretty crowded. I'll wait a bit before posting the next beach picture (also a panorama from a non-standard angle) and if that doesn't prompt a response I've got a final shot that will certainly trigger memories.

Yep. Beerman has it. By the way, those moorings are tough to pick up, there's little slack and I my freeboard forward is so high that I can't pull up the mooring far enough to get a line through it! And doing it singlehanded is even tougher; I wish they hadn't put those in a couple of years back, it was my favorite anchorage. Now I will usually anchor there, but the no-anchor zone stops at 50-70 feet water depth and it isn't usually very calm out that far.

OK, let's give this one a try. Please forgive the image quality -- it was taken at dusk and cropped from a small section of a cell phone photo. If no one recognizes it, I'll post a version that is zoomed out a bit more.

Hard to see but the writing on the building looks like something in an Asian language. Possibly Japanese or Chinese. I think there's a tower like that in Tokyo but don't think that's this one.

I was going to say Mostar but if it is Switzerland then I've no idea. The only 'famous' bridge I can think of is Luzerne and the photo is definitely not from that bridge.

OK, had to Google. Lavertezzo double arch bridge? Apparently while people don't jump from the actual bridge they do jump from the rocks under it. Beautiful spot but jumping is not for me.
If correct someone else go ahead and post the next photo please.
