Well at risk of revealing my shallow literary depths despite constant reading.......

Mas a Tierra.

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

No. Hint, off a coast of South America

My apologies all, I made a mistake on the hint. This is an island in the Atlantic off the coast of western Africa/Portugal/Spain.

Sorry all. A more correct hint like that should make this fairly easy to find.

That is correct; you're up!

The book I mentioned it was from was about the sailor Donald Crowhurst, which came up on this thread a few months back.

In keeping with the "water" theme...here's another picture of water..
This is NOT my picture, so normal rules apply... no cheating by googling the image. You can use any search WORDS you want, just not the actual image.

 

[arturo7]

Columbia River?

 

[Goofynewfie]

Mekong river?

 

[Newsman]

No and no. I will give you a small hint... it's a LARGE lake. And it's not in the western hemisphere.

 

[Newsman]

To muddy the waters a bit, here's another image of the same lake

Closer...but still no cigar.

North Sumatra, Indonesia

 

[Newsman]

North Sumatra, Indonesia

But do you know the name of the lake???

This has dragged on long enough. You're up. It's Lake Toba, another volcanic crater filled with water... only this one is HUGE.

Here's something a little different. Not a lot of details but architectural style should help. I'll drop a clue if no one knows very quickly but this is a big city.
