[InspectorJon]

Looks like the Pacific Northwest.

 

[bracconiere]

[bracconiere]

I woke up this morning, and thought hawaii. and wondered why i didn't think of it sooner as a possibility...

there is a loose connection with Waikiki

 

[D.B.Moody]

Not as romantic as Waikiki sounds, but ya gotta love a beach named for the dead body that washed up there. And right there with Cape Disappointment. It's so inspiring. No wonder @Rodent wanted to live there. Waikiki Beach, Washington, is south of Ilwaco, Washington, the skyline picture.

Ilwaco, WA it is!

Deadman's Cove is such a beautiful place

as is Waikiki Beach, a short 2.5 mile bike ride from 'downtown' Ilwaco, and just around the bluff from Deadman's Cove

I never attempted to bring a ship ashore here, and have never yet been disappointed during a visit.

@D.B.Moody - you're up!

This may be timely, but it was taken in 1988:

I think that’s Windsor Castle

 

[tracer bullet]

Never mind, site didn't show me the 20 new posts since the harbor picture.

 

[D.B.Moody]

Windsor Castle it is. You're up @InspectorJon.

 

[InspectorJon]

 

[bracconiere]

Puetro Vallerta? area code 322?

 

[InspectorJon]

Not Mexico

 

[D.B.Moody]

Apotek Robika right down the street is in Parapat, North Sumatra, Indonesia.

 

[InspectorJon]

Parapat it is

 

[D.B.Moody]

This is from 1967:

and a different perspective, same day:

 

[DBhomebrew]

I feel like we've been here before. Is that a river valley past the horizon in the first pic?

It is. This one:

picture taken the same day. And we have been here before.

 

[tracer bullet]

First picture said graveyard entrance to me, 2nd a train station. Does seem certain to be in the USA. Hmmmm.

Not the entrance to the cemetery, but there is a cemetery in another part of this place. It was established in 1866.
The cannon and the rifle barrels in that gate were material that was to be scrapped after the Civil War.
The road through the gate leads to an overlook. The overlook has changed significantly since 1967.
That is a train station. One of the views from the overlook. It was built in 1902 to service this place.
It is in the USA.

@D.B.Moody - you're up!

Well at least one of those pictures of Washington was cloudy. LOL.

 

[cmac62]

That looks like an east coast river.

 

[D.B.Moody]

That looks like an east coast river.

It isn't.

 

[InspectorJon]

Looks like the Midwest to me. Someplace where the river boats used to run.

 

[DBhomebrew]

How about looking east toward the river?

 

[D.B.Moody]

Looks like the Midwest to me. Someplace where the river boats used to run.

It is.

 

[D.B.Moody]

How about the east bank of a river?

It is on one side.
And it is the bank you can see.

Edit: Yes, looking east, and yes, @tracer bullet, it is the Mississippi River.

 

[tracer bullet]

I was thinking Mississippi river somewhere as well.

1866, civil war, canons (didn't see that at first), graveyard...

Military related. Civil war era, and still around. Old fort perhaps. Hmm.

Yes, the Mississippi River. This place predates the Civil War. In the 1840's it was the largest military establishment in the US.

 

[govner1]

Vicksburg

 

[D.B.Moody]

Not Vicksburg. Vicksburg does have a national cemetery established in 1866, but Vicksburg is on the eastern side of the Mississippi. Also an unlikely spot to have surplus cannons and rifle barrels after the Civil War.

Jefferson Barracks

 

[D.B.Moody]

Jefferson Barracks it is. Just south of St. Louis, MO. It was established in 1826; it was decommissioned in 1946. Today, besides the cemetery, there are VA services and Missouri National Guard and Air Guard units stationed/headquartered there. Much of it is run by St. louis County Parks. You're up, @michaeltrego.

 

[michaeltrego]

OK here you go -- from a visit this summer:

 

[tracer bullet]

Goodness, that could be so many places in the SE US. Texas, New Orleans, South Carolina.

Reminds me a lot of the area around the antebellum homes along the Natchez Trace so I'll start with that as a guess.

 

[michaeltrego]

Not Natchez Trace

 

[DBhomebrew]

Is that a grave to the left?

 

[michaeltrego]

Is that a grave to the left?

Yes, that is a grave.
