Or here?

[flamingyouth]

15. That last one is Seattle

It's a short walk from my house, that's how I know. :D

[GOPisEvil]

38. Correct!

:thumbsup: That's a great neighborhood. Wanna adopt me? :D

[begin_within]

17. The first one is La Jolla Caves, in La Jolla, CA (part of San Diego)

Second one I'm guessing Palomar Mountain. Third one I'm guessing Puget Sound.

[GOPisEvil]

39. Correct on the first.

The second is Pikes Peak. Close on the third. It's actually Lake Union.

[everythingsxen]

2. Tough call...

somewhere in Europe. Either Russia or France. I am leaning more toward the latter.

[bicentennial_baby]

3. Oui monsieur...

:yoiks:

[everythingsxen]

4. Hehe

That one bridge picture reminded of Highlander the series when they were living in Paris.. I have no idea if they actually shot it in Paris...

[bicentennial_baby]

Cimetiere Montparnasse
The view to the left from my 7th floor hotel room, Rue Monge, in the Quartier Latin

22. I didn't take this photo, but guess where this is anyway.

[yellowdogintexas]

34. those sand canyons in Utah? where ever this is, I want to go

there. This is the third photo I have copied off the net of this place. I love it.
Later I must post my own where is it pictures just don't have time right now.

[begin_within]

37. Antelope Canyon, on the Navajo Indian Reservation in Arizona. Links:

[Iniquitous Bunny]

23. One of the few...

independent, single theater movie houses left.



Not where one would think.
Currently showing Wordplay with The Godfather at midnight.

[pitohui]

25. ok here's one

i don't know if the pictures do it justice, these are giant bamboo such as to dwarf any human figure, it is quite spooky and actually much darker even w. the sun shining down

this is arashiyama (sp?), a suburb of kyoto

[mdmc]

27. ugh.... looks like those seizure causing asian cartoons

I've been here http://www.bannermancastle.org/photogallery.htm

[Cannikin]

35. Thats really neat

[Cannikin]

31. Flying a plane 3,500 feet above Niagara Falls

[Cannikin]

32. A Caribbean tour on the worlds largest cruise ship (at the time)

We visited...I cant remember all of them.

Aruba
St. Thomas
St. Lucia
Barbados

and a few others.

The ship was the largest at that time and was the first to sail into New York after 9/11

[tjwmason]

57. Now that really is impressive.

Were you flying?

[Cannikin]

59. Yep. I was flying.

[yellowdogintexas]

33. Paris?

[NewWaveChick1981]

36. I'll tell you where this is:

Haleakala (Hawaii), summer of 1983. Spent a summer session at UH-Manoa. We took several side tours with the university, and this was one of them. That's me sillouhetted against the sunrise (about 4:30 freakin' AM!) and looking down on the clouds. I am wrapped in a blanket from our hotel---the jacket I brought wasn't enough! It was so windy and the air was so thin up there that I felt like I was getting high---and it was great!

[taterguy]

40. any guesses?

[nuxvomica]

75. Key West?

Am I at least close?

[taterguy]

76. Good guess but you're 700 miles off

[Rhiannon12866]

41. Where have I been?

Hint: the leader of the formerly free world is holding court there today...:-(

[taterguy]

42. the city formerly known as Leningrad

[Rhiannon12866]

45. Ding! Ding! Ding! Got it in one! :D

Did you need the hint? And when I was there, it was still Leningrad. Beautiful city...:bounce:

[taterguy]

47. It looked familiar

I right clicked and hit Properties to be be sure. That trick won't work on the pic I posted

[Rhiannon12866]

60. Ah, ha! Was my hint too vague? ROFL!

And that's what I tried with yours, so I know that it won't work, LOL!:D I think I need a hint...:shrug:

[taterguy]

63. a hint for you

A famous pirate was killed nearby

[Rhiannon12866]

78. I'm not very knowledgeable about pirates, but I'll make a guess...

Ocracoke Island, North Carolina?:shrug:

[taterguy]

79. Correct!

Blackbeard was killed just offshore

[Rhiannon12866]

80. Yay! I knew it was on the coast,

but it took your second hint for me to finally narrow it down...:D

[taterguy]

82. Have you been?

[Rhiannon12866]

83. To North Carolina? Yes, many times, but never to the coast.

I'm told it's really beautiful there. I've spent a lot of time in Western NC, in Black Mountain, near Asheville. My grandmother retired there and I visited often. That is beautiful country, in the mountains, right near the Blue Ridge Parkway. I really liked it there.:-)

[nytemare]

43. Allrighty, then!

[nosillies]

44. The coolest place I've ever been. Guess where.

Here's a clue: it's probably the only place you can get attacked by a penguin, a baboon, and a great white shark all in the same day.

[GOPisEvil]

46. Is that Madagascar?

Lovely, wherever it is. :)

[nosillies]

48. nooo...but you're not too far off!

[GOPisEvil]

49. Wow. For whatever reason, Madagascar just jumped into my head.

South Africa? :)

[nosillies]

50. BINGO!!

:applause:
These pictures are mostly from around Cape Town and the Cape of Good Hope. The shark picture was taken off the southern coast in the Indian Ocean. For some reason, I thought it was an excellent idea to go diving with them. And it was!

[GOPisEvil]

51. Diving? With sharks?

You were in a cage, I hope. :) That does sound interesting. I'm considering South Africa, I might go to the World Cup in 2010.

[nosillies]

52. Yes, in a cage...

but considering that they'd throw themselves on the boat, I don't know if it even mattered. I've been lots of places in this world, and SA is by far the best. Get there!

[GOPisEvil]

54. That's another good review of SA.

My parents have been as part of a cruise around the Cape, and they loved it. I'll start saving my pennies. :)

Throw themselves ON the boat? :scared:

[nosillies]

56. Getting there's expensive, but being there is cheap.

And yes, if they smell the chum on the boat, they'll jump up and try to throw themselves over the side or on the back. They have some nerve, like they're big bad predators or something.

www.sharkcagediving.co.za -- the company I went diving with
www.globaloceanservices.com -- they made an awesome video of our dive, and they have videos on their site

[Kerrytravelers]

77. I loooove penguins.

I've been a penguin collector long before March of the Penguins. I am so jealous!

[nosillies]

86. Just for you then, and any other penguin lovers out there...

more of my penguin pictures.

And more about this colony: http://www.simonstown.com/tourism/penguins/penguins.htm

[Kerrytravelers]

87. Oh thank you! You're my new best friend!

The pictures are wonderful!

[RetroLounge]

53. Where was I?

RL

[joneschick]

55. it was hot

[NYC Liberal]

58. Phnom Penh, last summer:

[LSK]

61. ok

[bridgit]

62. okie dokie...

[swag]

67. I think I have some inside information on this.

So I won't give my answer.

Nice shots.

[bridgit]

70. you do indeed sir...

i need new pics huh x(

[swag]

72. The beauty of those hasn't faded.

But your fans are always happy to have more.

[bridgit]

73. oddly, or perhaps not, when i did photojournalism i of course carried...

a camera everywhere...i should take up the practice once again...you're always so kind, swag, please know that i appreciate that

[nosillies]

84. beautiful photos -- what's the equipment used?

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

64. Ok, here's a few.

The first one I think will be hard, but the beach has an identifying characteristic, if you've been there.

There is at least one semi-identifying structure in the second pic (not the dog).

The last pic is a thing I've only seen in one place.

[Xipe Totec]

65. A great memory...

Hint: The Cradle of Independence of a certain southern neighbor.

[swag]

66. Clues abound - these were all taken in the same town on the same day.

[bridgit]

69. love those shiners and their 2 for 1 sized cars for parking...

very considerate; to the masonic way of thinking it can be a great honor to convey yourself as a bit of a fool, bring laughter to a troubled world so as to say :thumbsup:

[swag]

71. Thanks for the comment.

Woe be to the world when I get the videoclips youtube ready.
