Oh my days! I think finfly1 is being precious.:E

OK, let's start from north: Kuwait

Scandinavia?

Scandinavia?

Yes………………..

Never mind.

Have I won again?:O

Have I won again? :O

No :*

Never mind.

Why the towel, this was especially for you.

No towel. What I had said was that I had seen virtually identical scenes from California (Yosemite) to North Carolina (Smoky Mts) and from Canada to Patagonia, and that I, personally, was going to need a hint.

By the time I transmitted such, the hint had arrived.

Rapids of Kitkajoki river,Finland.
If correct;
Open House.

Scandinavia .... no .... the Finns are rather sensitive about this and they do not consider themselves as Scandinavians.

Sabredog has got it. It's the Kiutaköngäs rapids in Kitkajoki in northern Finland (hence dedication to finfly1) :ok:,

Not sensitive enough to deny it, but sesitive enough to put about a dozen dots after it, I guess.

Sabredog has requested Open House.

Ironbridge?

Sorry Reg, I have been otherwise engaged for the last couple of hours. You are, of course, correct. :D YHC

Open House

Open House you say? General area is good enough.

Valley of Fire, Nevada?

Negative, but correct region.

Snow Canyon State Park, Utah?

OR, more likely-

Red Rock State Park, Arizona?

Close enough with the second guess there AGP. :ok:

Here's someone else's pictures.

More from Sedona - Northern Word (http://www.northernword.com/northernword/archive/2009/01/more-from-sedona.html)

Just North of Sedona, Oak Creek Canyon as I recall. Been 21 years since I took that. Great trip that was. Grand Canyon, Sedona, The Crater, Petrified Forest.

You have control.

Thanks 11Fan. I have done both Sedona area and Valley of Fire on different trips Actually saw two simultaneous weddings being held in the latter, came as a great surprise at the time, but believe it's fairly common.

11Fan -- correct!

Why or how do some places get identified so fast?

I see you've made the adjustment.

I try to figure out what would be an appropriate key word, Google it, then go to pictures. From there, you may get clues to other key words to use. Gargoyle was it for this one.

I think that 11 Fan posted the correct answer before me,Vis3M.
11Fan's call I believe.

Let me see what I can dig up here. Give me a moment.

OK, what was I doing here? This is from 1972.

As a matter of some interest rather than to be contradictory but I thought that Franco was buried in the basilica underneath this cross, not at El Escorial.
The Valle de los Caidos is closed for political repairs, except that you can still drive all the way up there, as I did in February in a snow storm.

Matjiesfontein, near Laingsburg, Karoo, South Africa. The Lord Milner hotel.

Well done Sultan Ismail. :ok:
(And Capetonian.)

The Lord Milner Hotel is a piece of Victoriana in a tiny village in the Karoo where they still serve traditional English 'Afternoon Tea'. Matjiesfontein was a British stronghold during the Anglo-Boer War and the hotel was turned into a military hospital.
They fly the Union Jack as well as the RSA flag. I removed one and blurred the other so that the challenge wouldn't be too easy. ;)

Oops, I see the Sultan beat me to it!

M/fontein was orginally started as a victualling station for the railway (which was going to be Cecil John Rhodes Cape to Cairo) by an emigrant from Scotland, Jimmy Logan if my memory is correct.

It used to be a favourite dirty weekend haunt and can tell many a story, such as the time when two couples who were d/w-ing with each other's partners bumped into each other at breakfast!

If I make a meal of "burgers" I use minced beef from my local butcher who gets his meat from farms I know.

I do not wedge my burger between two layers of cellulose passed off as bread or buns or whatever.

I do not relish pasteurised chemical cheese.

On the other hand, a chunk of decent minced beef formed into a convenient shape and grilled lightly is exquisite.

An experience of MacPoison stuff left me me with, shall we say politely, gastric difficulties for a few days. And my digestive system can cope with camel grease Swiss Rolls (best way I can describe what I ate once in northern Africa.)

Banqueting House, Whitehall

Correct first time. YHC.

For info for the others, Charles 1st asked Rubens to paint lots of piccies that Charles had put up on the ceiling of what is known as the Banqueting House on Whitehall, London, England.

Not that Parliament didn't like him, or anything like that, but when they chopped his head off, he walked out of the Banqueting House to a scaffold on Whitehall.
Yup, I've been doing the tourist thing in London.

Thanks AO!

Where on Earth

Reg, you know how I hate rock things.:{

It's not a "rock thing". It is a work of art entitled "Stony Ground" and is currently being exhibited at MOMA and Tate Modern. It's worth $24 million.

Northern part of Lanzarote looking across towards La Graciosa?

Not talking about yours, Ancient Observer. Strange you couldn't tell.:E

One word....I_i_t!;)

Sirikit.
I know that you were not talking about mine.

.
I was talking about RegDep's piccy.

Reg and I have a thing about boulders.:p

He provides the Rock, and you provide the Roll ??

MOMA - Naw
Lanzarote - Naw
Boulders - Naw
Thing - YES Sirikit!

Edit: AO, we play together.

I love Reg. He's great.:ok:

And so volcanic!

And, the business at hand: Where on Earth?

Clue: It is a rather small island.

A volcanic island off the coast of Iceland, starts with an 'E' and there is no way I can pronounce it.

As for the spelling, I guess I need to go look it up, but first, as I am a lazy sot, am I correct or not before I go to all the trouble. :p

Eldfell Volcano,Heimaey Island, is the one you refer to,Conpilot.

Teamed-up con-pilot and sabredog have put the correct answer together.

Over to you :ok:

Thank you very much Sabre and it's all yours. :ok:

Conpilot's call I think,Regdep.
Apologies,did not see Con's last post.
Will have a challenge shortly.
