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.

Not SC but yes, southern US. The eagle photo is great just as it is Carol!

Fran--how about Pensacola? 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.

No. not Pensacola, but you're closer. I think your photo looks more natural as is but that's just me. There's something to be said about things that are not quite perfect.

No, not Cedar, further south. Another hint, great shelling can be found here. Good night, See ya in the AM.

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!

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. Just a quick FYI Captiva and Sanibel are two separate islands. Sanibel is/was considered one of the top 3 places in the world for shelling.

Not sure why the picture is displaying only as a link, but after reviewing the link I think the shot was taken in Greece I have been to Santorini, Kythnos, Syros, Tinos, Paros, Poros, Septes, and Naxos and the shot does not look familiar So I will guess Ios

 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. 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)

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.

Lets take a look at another mural... The walls of  were taken from a house in this town and placed in the local museum.  Just amazing to me! All I got to say is the artist must have been a helluva smoker!
