Afternoon where I am, but good morning to you. Ashamed to say that I knew who JR was rather than the bridge location. Nice bridge though, I like nice bridges.

Both good guesses but not correct. Wrong Ocean.

Getting closer. The 'official' language of the area is visible in the photo if you zoom in on the right bit. It's a tough one this but I just like the photo of my boat in a great location so wanted to use it.

Close but wrong French island group. I'll settle for the island group because unless you've been there, or read my wife's blog which contains the photo, I don't think anyone will get the name.

Very close now so I declare BEERMAN the winner. It is actually the Manihi Pearl Resort on Manihi in the Tuamoto Archipelago but I don't think anyone would get it unless they've actually been there. Also, it is made harder by the fact it has been closed since 2012. I didn't know that when posting the photo.
If you do want a really get away from it all, do nothing other than laze and, snorkel and dive then I thoroughly recommend the Tuamoto's. We also went to Fakarava which is an incredible place for divers, providing you like sharks!

I was going to say Oslo, but Carol is correct on remembering Beermans terrific Iceland trip reports, Reykjavik Is the capital, so that’s my guess

I am going to say Toronto. My cousin was married on the island across from it and that as the view I am sure. Some where I have a neat shot and sunset... So is Toronto right?

Thingvellir National Park, however we didn't venture into that specific spot in your pic. It's a beautiful area in Iceland. Here's one looking towards where your pic was taken I believe...
