Where is this and what was this place before it closed?

Copper Mine, VG

Yes, correct - it is the remains of the Copper Mine on Virgin Gorda, BVI. You are up!

Probably an easy one for some on here.

D&H Sunshine Villas Anegada

You were on the top of my list to get this one! Yer next!

Thanks Chris. You live in SC now?

I am seriously running out of pics. This should be pretty easy. Where am I?

The Caves, Norman Island

Yeah, that was too easy. You're up Adrian!

Where am I ?

Hmm... could this be Marina Cay in the BVI?

Marina Cay it is! Dining under the tent post-Irma May 2019. Zanshin, your turn.

Zanshin, funny I was looking at your blog. May 8, 2017 you entered North Sound and we left North Sound that morning for Anegada.

Cooper Island?

ndfaninnc, Zanshin correctly got the right answer with Marina Cay.

I swear his answer was not there when I answered. Incorrectly I might add. Now it shows Zanshin answered an hour and a half before I did.

ndfan, make sure you refresh your browser each time you come back here so you see the latest posts.

Fred, thanks. But no. Total [censored] move. I realized Adrian’s pic was the last post on the page. Zanshin’s guess was on the next page. While looking at the enlarged version of Adrian’s pic I was so sure I was right (I was not), I did not see there was another page. So, total [censored] move.

I see I guessed it correctly after all Here's my next picture, the first in a smaller series if the clues aren't enough:

The kiln in the first image was used to make some of the items in this picture

A lot of vegetation, but I don't see palm types so I'm guessing Europe and it looks like a prison.

This wasn't a prison. Here's the next picture, taken from the same location as the previous one, but looking outward this time:

Ireland?

This place gets less rain than Ireland. I spent a long time living in Dublin and needed months after leaving to dry out

odd postcode I suspect?

Just 2 Postcodes in a 100-mile circumference of this location.

Each image is more revealing... The previous images were taken from the flat structure seen in this one...

Is that Brimstone Hill?

Now I see tropical vegetation so I guess it's the Caribbean. Martinique?

Darn - I thought I could post some of my best pictures of Brimstone on St. Kitts & Nevis before someone guessed it, but Fran has gotten it already! The site, part of the Unesco World Heritage, is worth visiting.

I meant your postcode in Dublin

Yes, I agree, a very interesting location to visit. I would have liked to see more of your photos. That long, walk up the hill gave it away for me. The last time I was there was several years ago and some of those buildings near the parking area did not exist at that time. I've been busy today but will look for a photo in a little while.

OK, this might be easier for some than others.

Kings Mountain?

Not the kings mountain I know. I’m stumped. Will wait for more info.

No Fred, not Kings Mountain. This can be found nearby.

Sleepychef - I lived in the Beggar's Bush area close to the docks while in Dublin (unfortunately, not in the really gentrified area but in the working class neighborhood where my accent (or lack of it) really stood out). I had planned on doing a James Joyce and testing Guinness at a different pub each night, but early on went into a small local pub filled with fisherman and factory workers. They went silent when I walked in and I got some pointed looks when I ordered a pint and it became clear that I wasn't a local. I wasn't close to the door and was debating how I would get out without losing too much blood when I hit upon a plan and loudly ordered a round. That worked and it also turned out that their Guinness was really good and far cheaper than in the pubs downtown, so it became my "local" as well. But man, do the Irish love to argue! I had many an argument there, often having to switch sides because.... well, just because.

This is also in the area. Now off to work, will be back later.

Hi Zanshin ,

Buying a round for a pub in Ireland...instant legend status

No idea at all. I'll try narrowing it down... Europe
