The next photo.

Hmm... could it be the Smithsonian National Aerospace Museum? I don't recognize the layout, even though I've been there a couple of times. BTW, I've got at least 100 hours in the same model of glider that is suspended in the picture (Grob Astir 102, one of the most common club gliders)! I'm afraid to google, but that Superfortress looks like it might be famous

I'm guessing the Udvar-Hazy Center in VA.

In the unlikely event it's not one of the above guesses, I'll guess Wright-Patterson AFB?

Arnd, the B-29 is the "Enola Gay". This museum is part of the Smithsonian National Aerospace Museum. It is indeed the Udvar-Hazy Center in Fairfax, Virginia. I think you're both winners!

I knew that there was an "offsite" part of the Smithsonian, but have never been there - but it is now on my list.... The "real" Enola Gay - wow! If Fran wants to post, she should as her guess was more accurate than mine. If not, I have some more pictures on hand.

Zanshin--I think that section of the Air and Space is 'relatively' new, within the past 20 years or so. We lived outside DC until 2006, and we were never there to that facility.

Fran is a fella, by the way..

Oops...

Arnd, go for it.

FYI, I'm an aircraft nut, especially WWII. I used to be a volunteer at the Warbird Museum in Kissimmee, FL where I helped in the restoration of several WWII aircraft. I'm kind of familiar with some of the other museums out there so this one was pretty easy for me.

Carol, you are correct on the museum being fairly new.

Fran--I looked it up, opened in 2003.

Yeah, I knew it was in the 2000's but couldn't remember exactly when. At my age, that's fairly new.

Fran--me too!

I really will have to visit that "Annex". While I've now read about the controversy of exhibiting Enola Gay, I will be looking at her in awe for the pivotal role this aircraft played in the course of our current civilization.

So, this also played a role in history - what is it and where is it?

Hadrians wall between England and Scotland?

Fred - correct, it is Hadrian's Wall, just outside of Newcastle upon Tyne where it begins. All of my pictures of the terminus were too easily identifiable, so this one was used.

Not to get too far off track but I see no reason not to exhibit the Enola Gay. Dropping the bomb made a huge difference in ending the war and even though it killed many, it saved many more. I new Paul Tibbets (the pilot for those that don't know) as a regular visitor at the Warbird Museum and he told me himself he had no regrets.

OK, on with the game.

Arnd, I'm glad I peaked your interest in the "new" museum. It really is a spectacular place to visit. I understand it is closed due to COVID-19, but hopefully they will reopen soon.

Zanshin, ironically this Roman wall was featured yesterday on the Smithsonian Channel. However, leaving the museum for now with this photo:

I hate to be in a position to solve this so quickly, but could this be at Shirley Heights in Antigua?

Zanshin, you are correct and it's your serve. I thought that one might have lasted longer and then I was going to post the giveaway

Darn - I just tried to delete my post since I think your image deserved better... but it was too late.

Where could this edifice be?

Logic tells me to guess somewhere in the PRC, so I'll go illogical and say Taipei?

This is the Grand Hotel in Taipei - The rooms aren't quite as nice as the outside might indicate. You are up, Fred.

I decided to do a stopover in Taipei many years ago. My flight was very late in arriving and it was now dark. This was long before internet so I booked a room at the airport reservation desk and got on the bus to downtown. Unlike Hong Kong, nothing was in English and I had no idea where I was so I decided to get off the bus where there was a lot of activity. I asked a young lady if she spoke English, she did and she flagged down a taxi and told the driver where I needed to go. I've met kind people like that all over the world.
OK, tell me the name of the town in the distance in this photo.

A popular activity in and around this town is seen in this picture

Just a wild guess - Santa Monica? I know of a big pier and know that they surf there...

Right state but not Santa Monica

This town's name is used for brands of bicycles and skateboards.

Been a while since I was in CA last. Looks like it might be a little further north, say around Pismo Beach?

This place is in northern CA and much further north of Pismo Beach. This has been up long enough so go ahead and use Google.

Santa Cruz

I think I've found it but I'll let someone else guess. Haven't been to that part of CA. Never mind, xrayman got it...I think and I didn't see his post.

Adrian, you are correct and you are up.

Next photo

I think I recognize this beach bar because of the dark sand. If this is where I believe, then I spent a week in a nearby anchorage once waiting for strong winds to subside and this was the closest (and only) accessible watering hole. This would be in the windward island chain in the Caribbean, but I am going to wait a bit before hazarding a guess so as to let someone else guess.

Well, nobody has guessed so I'll put in mine: Nevis, close to White House Bay.

Close to White House Bay, yes, but not Nevis.

Oops, I meant to write St. Kitts

Yes, St. Kitts it is! I believe this is place is called Shipwreck Bar. Arnd, you are up.

Where were these taken (Hint: far from St. Kitts)

It looks lie it might be somewhere in Bavaria possibly?

No, this village is not in Bavaria.

Behind me, on the other side of the mountain, sits one the world's most feared slalom runs. This was taken at around 1600m (5250 feet), the mountain goes up to almost 2000m behind me.

Dolomites?

No, this is not in Italy. The peaks just visible in the left corner of the picture on this page and seen in pictures 2 and 3 on the previous page are renowned. Those little dots in the last picture aren't flaws but are actually hot-air balloons.

Zermatt?

Chamonix?

Zermatt is just over 500km away, while Chamonix is almost 700km distant.

Don't know distances/directions in that part of the world, but I'll try Innsbruck?

is it in Germany?

First photo had some German language showing so could be Switzerland, Germany or Austria. As distances quoted are quite far I'll go Austria. The only slalom I can think of immediately is Schladming.

Innsbruck is much, much closer - only around 100Km. This is not in Germany, but they do speak German here.

are the hills alive with music in this place?

The hills are alive with lots of huts serving alcoholic beverages, but not much music here. The peaks in the pictures are called the "Wilder Kaiser" (Wild Emperor), that should narrow the location down for those who are looking...

Jeannius - I missed your post, sorry. It is in Austria, but this slalom course is called the "Hahnenkamm" (rooster's comb).

Is it Google time?

Yes, I think it is.

Kitzbuhel?

Yes, it is Kitzbühel and St. Johann in Austria. I had a week there with my girlfriend, who was from CA/HI and had never actually seen snow in real life before. The Super-G course at Kitz is called the Hahnenkamm and for those who've never seen a race track like that just imagine an ice rink tilted at 40-45° that goes around turns for almost 3 miles with 1500m vertical. They water it daily to keep that ice sheath thick - no mere mortal skier could traverse that run...

You threw me off the scent saying 'feared slalom'. If you'd said feared downhill I'd have said Kitzbuhel. Here's the great Franz Klammer coming down the Strief in 1984... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_jtu2lgStQ Unfortunately his even more famous run in the 1976 Olympics has now been snaffled by the Olympic organisers so is no longer available in full on youtube.

Mike - I stand corrected... I used the wrong race-type in my post. But now that I know that alpine pictures are a weak point for identification on this thread, I will be posting some snowy images should I get up to bat again. But Fred guessed this one first so he is up.

OK, this next one is a good example of someone being low on pictures - i.e. me. I guess I worked this crew too hard and I would like the specific name of the place of business where he is taking a nap.

I thought someone would have recognized this place. This next picture was taken "a stones throw" from the subject picture but this place is upstairs. Both of these pictures were taken in 2010 so things may have changed.

Hint - I would venture to say that practically everyone who has ever participated in this addictive game has been to the place shown in the first picture.

Is this in the BVI or USVI?

Pusser's Landing?

In BVI but not Pussers.

It looks so darned familiar...is it the old Jolly Roger?

Not Jolly Roger Fran, but I would bet you have been here. I have one fat clue, but I'll wait a little longer.

The first image looks like the bar at Village Cay in Road Town from the architecture and background, but I thought it was ground-level only. Perhaps my memory is incorrect, so I'll guess the location as Village Cay.

I think it might be The Pub.

I was thinking along the same lines as Zanshin and also do not recall a second floor at Village Cay. That being said, the second post seems to indicate it is in a different establishment somewhere nearby.

Zanshin, you are correct with Village Cay. I only had one picture of Village Cay and the nearby place was Bay Cave bar. You are up.

Fred, did you mean the Bat Cave?

Fran, yes Bat Cave/Spaghetti Junction. My fat clue for the first, and subject photo, was going to be a place that claimed to be the inspiration for Buffett's "Cheeseburger in Paradise".

Here goes. I was in this city while still a teenager but remember it well

I thought that the picture would be an easy one - it is from a museum in this city. Here's a view from above:

Hiroshima?

"Iie" (いいえ) to Hiroshima - that's the Japanese term for "no"

Well, it was a tossup between Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

This city is not in Japan.

I remember this main highway with horror. It turned into a 1-way thoroughfare going into town during the morning rush hour and an outbound road in the afternoon rush hour. But during the transition period the local lax attitude towards traffic regulations made it a nightmare to attempt in the middle lanes. A real-life game of "chicken". Considering that the locals accept driving on the sidewalk to avoid dense traffic to be acceptable this road was definitely scary...

Bogota

xrayman67 has got it - it is indeed Bogotá, the capital of Columbia. The first picture is from the Gold Museum

I needed google for that one!
Next photo. Where is this?

Except for the palm trees in the background, I would say my mom's house in Indiana!! She has about two dozen wind turbines that she can see from her house!

Carol, She must live near Ft Wayne. You can see those for miles.

Actually, no, she is in Central Indiana. Sorry for the thread drift. Back to our original programming!

This particular wind turbine is at a place many people visit daily.

Is it in Florida?

Not in Florida.

Another clue.

Could this be somewhere in Hawaii?

Not Hawaii. The last pic is not from the best angle. I'll post another pic in a little while.

Another clue.

Is it Ponce, PR? Not sure where the Bacardi plant is located.

I think there is a Bacardi plant in SJU, could it be near there?

Located directly across the channel from Old San Juan is the Barcardi Rum Factory. There are 2 wind turbines on the premise. A fun place to visit! Fran is up!

I don't remember there being any wind turbines at the Bacardi Factory, but it has been a few years since we were there. GREAT place to visit, so long as you're walking afterward!!

Carol, this was 2014.

I gotta say we were probably there maybe 2005 or before, LONG time ago.

OK, let's try this one. Slim pickings in my photos.

Another view

I'll guess Bermuda.

No, not Bermuda, I'd think somewhere around a couple of thousand miles or so SW.

Dominica?

Nope, not Dominica. Go west about a thousand miles or so.

Oops. You said SW. I went SE. My mistake. Aruba?

ndfan--I really doubt it is Aruba, just not that many trees there. My guess would be somewhere in South America.

Try this...

Somewhere in Costa Rica? Don't know any place names.

Not Costa Rica but you're a lot closer. Now go north a few hundred miles and stay in the water.

I'm never sure, but seems like we're well past the 18 hour Google rule and it tells me Roatan?

Ding, ding, ding- yes, it is West End on the island of Roatan. You're up Fred.

I've never been there, but that party boat looks like a fun reason to go. OK, I'm going to start the next round by requesting the name of the village/political subdivision in the country. If no guesses, I'll broaden out later.

Don't know why, but I'm thinking Jamaica?
