So where are we, and can you identify the island off in the distance? I thought this was a very relaxing photo for hump day.

I hate to say it Carol, but no. That was pre Irma, and yes just above dawn beach, lovely view. Sadly that villa along with a couple more on that corner are totally gone including their foundations. It’s amazing as large and as well built as those homes were, that there gone. So sad.

Well I've spent a few hours trying to cover up a name and finally gave up and am using another picture. If someone knows an easy way to "erase" a name, flag, etc. please advise. Meantime, where is this?

I think Corsica but don't know the name of the town, so who does?

Sleepychef, Corsica is correct and the town is Bonifacio. You are up.

Fred... Really easy to erase parts of an image if you are using a Windows PC. Just use the ancient Paint application and the Eraser Tool as shown in the image below. If you are using one of those weird Apple devices I'm sure there is something similar.
P.S> I knew Bonifacio. Always wanted to sail into there as the entrance looks magnificent. Haven't yet had the opportunity.

Thanks Mike, it's a PC so I'll try your suggestion. I figured you had sailed to Bonifacio.

OK, Peter here is the one I hoped to use but gave up trying to cover up a giveaway name. Guess I'll see if it took and where is it?

I was thinking Pompeii too, but that seemed too obvious. I am going to say Africa. No clue if there are any there, but I think it is off the beaten track.

Fred--You know, when I first saw that picture, I went to myself "Self, what is that purple blob on the stage??"
Looks like an amazing venue, but I have no idea where it is.

Sorry for the size, I still haven’t figured out why sometimes the uploads are thumbnails, other are so big😗
But size is a future hint.

Karl der Grosse (Charlemagne) usually carries a sword, and his home is Aachen. This statue looks like that of a scholar, and that globus cruciger looks Romanesque. Is this somewhere in Italy?

<heureka> I once read Gibbon's "Decline and fall of the Roman Empire" and remembered friends talking about another "Golden Gate" which isn't in California, so the location seemed to be evident - but my curiosity got the best of me and I had to google a reference in the book and that wiki page contained a picture of that statue! So now I need to wait for the timer to run out (how many hours is that?)

The cross on his head shows a religious relationship dating more than 1,000 years ago. So Arnd is correct about Roman influence
