Looks kind of Mediterranean to me? PS - I was going to ask why a 747 would ever be on a barge, but you explained.

it is a replica of Air force 1
Moved to DC for touring.

the Med is correct

Great job!

Let's see if we can narrow it down, somewhere near Capri?

Capri is too far North

I think everyone is running out of pictures - could this one be the omega 🤔

If you know the alpha one can find the omega

OK, I'm too far north so let's try south, somewhere in Sicily?

Much closer... But not Sicily

Anybody know where Daenerys and Khal Drogo’s wedding took place!

OK, Salina?

I can't use a map, but is Corsica too far north?

out for dinner
think about alpha and omega...
all guesses wrong

It's all Greek to me!

not a place one would find in Greece

Review of the the hints

- Yes

- Capri is too far North

Hint: - LINK:
The Alpha
It is very close where the game began " the alpha "

- Much closer... But not Sicily

Hint: - Season 1 of Game of Thrones... Evidently a major event. (I never watched it)

And it is not Greece, not Corsica, Not Salina

Hint: Salina is on the northside of Sicily... this island is south of Sicily and rhymes with a famous clown.

Croatia? I have a list of the islands from our 2019 sail, but none remind me of clowns.
Brac or Harv?
Or Čiovo rhyme with Bozo?

How about Gozo, which is near Malta? Problem is, kept thinking Italy.

Gozo is correct

The rock formation was (emphasize was) known as the Azure Window
We saw it in April of 2016
A storm in April 2017 made it go away. The red dot in picture 2 is where we were standing in picture 1.
So Sad!

The game started 21 threads ago with the alpha being the entrance to Malta's harbor in Valletta.
Will the Azure Window be the Omega. Your call Fran

OK, this will be easy for some folks I think. Where is this located?

I might have a guess, but is it anywhere near this place?

Mayberry! Mt Airy, NC.

I knew an NC person would jump in here. Of course you're correct so you're up ndfan.

Yes Fred, here's a shot of Pilot Mountain taken from where you would find that plaque.

OK been super busy at work and logged in to see where we were. and darn I knew the last two pictures. Bummer, I'll have to check in more often.

Sorry for the delay y'all, This should be pretty easy. Where are my wife and I?

That is the easiest picture in a long time. This looks like the pier at Pirate's on Anegada in the BVI (Time of day: approaching sunset)

Zashin, mostly correct. I assume you meant Potter's. Good enough. And my buddy Sam whacking away at lobsters for that night's dinner!! I knew that was too easy. But since we land base on Anegada, virtually all of my vacation pics are from Anegada. You are up my friend.

Zashin, this picture was taken just a couple of hours later.

I've got pictures of the same "whacking station" in different incarnations, so that was too easy; my last picture (pre-irma) shows somewhat smaller area for preparing the lobsters. I did mean Potter's...

So where is this?

I am thinking it is an atom or a molecule? So somewhere sciency. I'll start with it's in Germany.

It is indeed a model of a atom. But, alas, not in Germany...

For no good reason at all I have Norway in my head.

I've seen that before but scratching my head trying to remember where.

Maybe Sweden where they give out Nobels.

This is not in Norway or Sweden, and the element represented is "Fe" (iron)

Zanshin, you have lived or been about everywhere and I'm trying to figure out your "Fe" clue. All I come up with is the Masaba Range of Minnesota?

Fred - "Fe" is the official designation for "iron" (from the Latin "ferrum"). But I did wear a pair of Iron Rangers this morning on my walk, which I gather come from that mountain range and iron mines in Minnesota... But that mountain range is on the wrong continent, there aren't many big hills in this area... but there are some major government offices in this city! I'll wait a bit and then post another image.

I think I remember the country now but I'll wait as I haven't any photo to post. I will say I think somewhere in Europe.

Netherlands, The Hague?

It is in Europe and not den Haag. I didn't check for other pictures since I thought this would be easy to guess and go quickly. Here's a heavily redacted image of a building in this city, which also happens to be the nation's capital.

That must have taken a while to edit! It's Brussels and those would have been the flags of all the EU countries. On further thought though it could be NATO HQ. Either way it is Brussels. I recognised the first photo but thought that was Berlin so didn't guess once you' ruled out Germany.

Mike - it is indeed Brussels, the capital of Belgium and of the European Union and I had to click the "smart eraser" in Photoshop a number of times to try to hide the flags flying in front the EU Headquarters building. All yours!
