I strongly believe that if you don't have a picture to post should you guess correctly, then you shouldn't play. Just like an ante when playing cards...

Well, I found one, but BEERMAN got here first! Based on his travels, I’d say Italy or France?

Darn, and I went to all the trouble of painting over clues and I should have saved without the actual name

I'm a little unsure about the photo above, but I do know where this one was taken.

I think the earlier photo was Bequia as I recognise the boat.

Not even a guess as to which country so far. OK. Try this taken not far from the first photo.

Ahh - I lived in Sydney for over a year and traveled all around the east coast on my motorcycle and that building looked somewhat familiar but the ocean view narrowed it down. Somewhere in the CBD of Sydney?

Correct Arnd. Thought you'd get it. It's actually a serviced apartment building in Darling Harbour. Very nice and very good value for anyone passing through. The second photo for those that don't know it is the exit from Sydney Harbour heading around to Manley if you turn left or Bondi if you go right. .

The second photo is taken from an angle that makes the opening look rather small - but cruise ships come through here! I didn't get to Darling Harbour too often, I lived in Kirribilli and usually just hopped across the bridge to get cheap drinks and food at the backpacker bars... Where is this?

Maybe one of the 1,000 + islands of the Bahamas?

No, not the Bahamas. First clue - this is one of the very few locations on this island that is not covered in verdant growth.

Looks vaguely familiar. Possibly somewhere on Moskito Island?

Nope, not on Moskito. This place get more rainfall. Another picture taken a couple of kilometres from the first one and looking in roughly the same direction

I've never actually been to Creole Rock, but the island in the background looks like Anguilla to me, so I'm going to say French St. Martin.

I'm going to move away from the Caribbean. I've seen rocks like the first image in the Seychelles and they certainly get more rain. The only time I went we had 3 days when we couldn't move out of harbour because of continuous torrential rain and high winds.

While St. Martin wasn't right, this island is in the Caribbean.

Wettest place in the eastern Caribbean is probably Dominica so I'll go with that.

I'm thinking it looks similar to some of the small islands near the ABC islands.

Correct! These pictures were taken on the windward side of Dominica. The first is truly the only barren part of the island, since the ground is from a relatively recent volcanic eruption. The island of Marie Galante in Guadeloupe can be seen on the horizon of the second picture.

Well wrong country eliminates French Polynesia which is good because I can't remember the names of islands there except Bora Bora. To see if we are headed in the right direction, I'll guess Vanuatu?
