scurvy Notions Is this one of those maritime trick questions? I counted the islands and got the answer "four maybe five" which led me to dimly recall a place called Five Islands on the scurvy side of the bay. |

scurvy side of the bay?? ====================== Hmmmm, The place is not an island, what you see here is part of what I am looking for. If you go in to any geography 300 level text book this place in the Bay of Fundy is well marked out, and very distinctive. Again think; climate, and biology. No tricks. celttooth |

I have to go to bed now, the spot from where this image was taken is the same spot where I strode with my children years ago; A time when a person could still go in there.I am on for tests on the morrow to see what damage I have done to my kidneys so I am hoping someone will get this soon. celttooth Hint for bed time: Part of the name is a name for a piece of clothing apparel. |

... The place is not an island ... . If you go in to any geography 300 level text book this place in the Bay of Fundy is well marked out, and very distinctive. I'm merely stun'd as a post. I hiked there; I honeymooned nearby; wife did an MSc on sedimentation there; I studied the chemistry of the basalts in your photo. So you would think I'd remember this ... ? If it is where I think it is, the place is Cape Split. |

A bit of geography and a fun "back story". Very simple. Name the ship to win. (If you know the ship, you know where it is. And vice versa) |

S.S. Kyle, Harbour Grace, Newfoundland Well done Zeus; I thought it might take a few nano-seconds longer to find than that! PM on its way. |

Thanks PT, I've googled for 'stranded Canadian ship' and the second picture was Kyle :-) Now let's get back to mother nature. Name the river please. Who the hell is General Failure and why is he reading my harddisk?¿ |

no with those birds and that type of forest. That's somewhere temperate with eagles (?) Great shot! Carola ------- I'm multilingual - I can misunderstand people in several languages! |

Grande Ronde River, Washington state? I have never seen the water that green but the entrenched meanders look familiar. |

Grande Ronde River, Washington state? Similarity is remarkable, but unfortunately it's not the one we're looking for. Mmmhh... I think its Donau. ;-) This river is nowhere near large as Danube. Who the hell is General Failure and why is he reading my harddisk?¿ |

those actually look like vultures. the wingtips are a clue. Is this in North America? In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope |

A bird shown in this photo is not an eagle, but the Griffon vulture, so no it isn't in North America. Who the hell is General Failure and why is he reading my harddisk?¿ |
