This one is not going to be easy. Let’s see what we can deduce. Based on the increasing amplitude of the waves It is highly likely that the picture was taken from land. The fact that the waves are so small indicates a protected body of water, a sound, bay or fijord. The sun being in the left would indicated that this is a sunset and not a sunrise, meaning this is south west facing. The small bit of visible land looks like it has pine trees and steep slopes. That indicates a northern latitude. These facts could fit several locations but my best guess is that It’s a view of the Puget sound most likely from Orcas Island. Did I get any of that right Holmes? |

Wild guess Bay of Fundy. |

Wow, not the Bay of Fundy.
From land = yes, a sound, bay or fijord = yes this is south west facing = no northern latitude = just a bit south of north (a tiny bit) Puget sound most likely from Orcas Island = very no but still not bad at all. |

South of 5 degrees south latitude? |

No, 45’ north Lat’ is between north and south on the north side of the globe, 46’ is north of south, and 44’ is south of north. The big hint for today is that this place is somewhat south of 45’ north Lat. I hope I did not mix you all up, and I hope I am not giving all of this away with that hint. I would not worry about this anywhere else, but you people are very quick minded as a group. |

East of the Prime Meridian? North of the tropics? |

West of the Zulu line north of the tropics. |

east of 90W? |

east of 90W? Yes! |

To-days hint: this is south west facing = no Puget sound most likely from Orcas Island = very no. These answers will help you out a lot if you think in opposites. It helps to think of sunrises. I know this is a hard one, but they are always more fun and rewarding. |

Sunrise, not sunset. North of the Tropics, between 0 & 90W East Coast US? New England area? Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

Bay of Fundy, from the US side? |
celttooth Send message Joined: 21 Nov 99 Posts: 26503 Credit: 28,583,098 RAC: 0 |
Not in the bay of Fundy, But on the US east coast. |
