I'm sitting in an office dreaming of travel so thought I'd try this simple game to try and get my fix and also see some interesting photos.

The game:
Pick a photo you have taken on your travels to see if anybody can guess where it is. The further off the beaten track the better.

Rules:
- Must be your photo, not nicked off the net.
- The location must be in some way identifiable in the shot (think holiday forum rather than photography forum biggrin)
- Whoever gets it right gets to post one of theirs (or open it up if they want to).
- Wait until the current photo is guessed before adding one.
- When yours is identified, update your post with the answer.
- When guessing, please don't just chuck the photo into an image search tool. There's no fun in that.

I'll begin with what I think will be a fairly easy one:


ANSWER (Amateurish): Stanley, Tasmania

Nope. It's a bit deceptive on that photo but it's not an island.

Hmm... just to save confusion, maybe it'd be better to do them one at a time? smile

I may have overestimated the number of PH users from the southern hemisphere - I thought it would have been guessed by morning getmecoat

OK, how about this one:

Vegas is correct smile

Clue for the first one: the raised land in the photo isn't an island itself, but it's connected to one.
