Scotland? Should be with the flag flying, but could be elsewhere and owned by a Scot.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Yes it is Scotland, I never saw the flag.

[Cheshire Cat]

Hmm - not a lot to go on, but it looks like the car in the middle is the far side of the central lines, so driving on the left. So Japan or British-influenced?

Vegetation in foreground doesn't feel familiar - are we southern hemisphere?

Correct on both observations, driving on the left hand side and southern hemisphere.

South Africa?

Bloukrans Bridge

Bingo, you've got it. Highest commercial bungee bridge in the Southern Hemisphere and possibly 5th highest in the world if certain websites are still accurate. You can just make out the bungee operation at the crest of the arch.

Cheshire, you're up.

Egypt?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

No not Egypt.

 

[pvtpublic]

Africa?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Not Africa but moving in the right direction.

 

[pvpeacock]

Middle East? (not sure that is the "right direction")

 

[Cheshire Cat]

No move west from Africa.

 

[pvpeacock]

Canary Islands?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Not the Canary Islands a lot further west. Clue: Astrological Calendar

Chankillo, Peru
Sorry for the double post.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Yes you’re on next

This one is somewhat time related as well

So - palm trees imply tropical. Not sure about other vegetation.

Roadsigns look USian.

I assume that's Johannes Paulus II - Pope John-Paul II. So a Catholic site that he presumably visited.

Looking at his list of trips, I suspect that there aren't too many palm trees in Anchorage or Fairbanks. The only US trip with likely palm trees is 1987 - Miami, Columbia, SC, New Orleans, San Antonio, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Monterey, San Francisco. But I see he also stopped over in Hagåtña, Guam in 1981 and sure enough that Wiki page has a photo of the same building, the Dulce Nombre de Maria Cathedral Basilica.

Only time-related thing I can see is that Guam Standard Time became Chamorro Standard Time in 2000, after the local people?

 

[pvpeacock]

Bingo! That was fast. The Statute of Pope John Paul was unique because it rotated once every 12 hours. So you could tell what time it was by the direction the Pope was facing! We called it the "Roto-Pope."

And yes, the locals are called Chamorro's and Hagatna used to be called Agana when I live there.

Very cold.
