Looks like a pristine, manicured beach so maybe a high end resort. That leaves me out as having been to this place, but to start I'll guess Palm Island?

I am going to say it is a pic from Anegada. Maybe in front of Wonky Dog? I don't recognize the firepit. But the docks look familiar.

Sorry for the delay y'all. The ND basketball was on and my world stops. I am running out of pics as well. So with this one I'd like not only the island, but more specifically the beach.

Okay. Obviously we have determined the island as I am I am very limited on pics. But not Loblolly. I believe Peter knows. But is limited on pics too.

I have a tee shirt from Anegada Beach Club so maybe there is an Anegada Beach.

Nope. Not ABC. Opposite direction from Loblolly.

I've only been to Loblolly (several times) and don't know the other beaches at all so I guessed the only name that came to mind without resorting to google
but the coastline and the enclosed reef area made the rough location guess pretty easy.

Correct Fred. I knew Chef would know and he is correct, best snorkeling on the island. Also pretty darn good rotis at the bar. Monica's (?) Bushwhackers are very good too.

OK, this "candlestick park" is not in San Francisco - but where is it? I'm looking for a local place name of some sort, not just a country.

There's that big "rock" in the distance. Though that would have ruled out Bahamas, Florida, Turks.

Not Cabo or Abaco. I'll dig up another picture soon, but it will take some "Paint"

That's Le Phare Bleu Marina on Grenada. You left just enough of the old Lightship in the picture so I could identify it. I don't really like being in marinas but Le Phare Bleu is a really fun place to be.
If you go to
https://www.lepharebleu.com/lighthouse-ship-bar-bistro-grenada/ there is a great video of them starting the ancient, massive, two cylinder diesel ( at least it's fascinating if like me you love messing with old mechanical things!)

Mike, I figured you would get this and you can see some of the lightship in both pictures above. That is a great video link you sent and you are up.

If I recall my history, this would look like a statue of Siva, the destroyer. the trident (I can't recall the correct Indian name) gives it away. But where in India could this be - I've only been to big cities so can't even begin to make a guess. How about Kolkatta?

Pretty sure I've got this one. But I have no more pics!! I'm truly amazed at the number of very tall statues in India.

Both incorrect but good guesses. I'm not going to give any written clues on this, just post a series of photos as I have loads of this area...

It is tea Fred. You are both sort of in the right area of the world but actually the wrong hemisphere. All of the photos are taken within 15 miles of each other...
