Not quite. The most painted and photographed building…

Rockport motif no 1

And wiped out during the Perfect Storm. And plenty of other times too. Rockport takes it on the nose when there is a nor’easter, which is pretty much all winter every winter. That’s why the breakwater was never finished, and efforts switched to Gloucester where there is natural protection from the NE.

Greetings,
Mr. S. Your post #87. Not quite. Government of Canada Parliament Buildings. At the 9 o'clock position you can see the first of the "flight of eight" locks that lift from the Ottawa River to the Rideau Canal. Total of 49 lock chambers in 23 lock stations from #1 (as shown in picture) to #49, just outside of Kingston, Ontario on Lake Ontario.
The Rideau system was declared a World Heritage site in 2007.

You are right, my mistake!

Thunderball Grotto in the Exumas. Someone didn’t obey the no jumping sign!

No signs in 1992.

They put them up in ‘93 after a certain incident!

This is going back a ways to The Perfect Storm in 1991. (hint: Its not in the US, and was originally called Charles Towne)

It was leaving Nassau Harbor for the roughest cruise I had ever been on.

That looks like a shot of Seward from Mount Marathon...my home briefly in the late '70s

 

[twistedtree]

Here's one from a few years ago in Gloucester. The storm's name was "winter". Actually, this one was worse than normal, and heavily damaged my granite pier

Looks a lot like New Zealand to me. Been there but not by boat.

Yes. Not at Spring Creek, I hope.

 

[Cigatoo]

St. Barts but think they also race around st.martin, and know BVI. Got that shot from the committee boat. Amazing to see a dozen or more 100’+ sailboats with all the rags up.

Wow. Lot harder to fix than this from Hurricane Michael.

This is fun. I'll play.

Put-in-Bay with the Perry monument in the background?

 

[rgano]

I'll give you a clue - Huron 1992.

Bingo!

How about this one.

Hint: the first of many

Hmmm....Not much to go on here, except, maybe the "neo-Adirondack" chairs.



I'll guess the Rideau Canal.

 

[RT Firefly]

Greetings,
Mr. M. Hmmm....Doesn't look like the Rideau. I'm guessing more the Trent/Severn although it may be Kingston Mills Lock station...

Valley of the Temples, Sicily. I was there recently.

Bingo! Agrigento. A stunning site, indeed. About a 30 minute bus ride from the marina.

Correct sir!
It is the first lock of the Rideau from the Lake Ontario side AKA Lock 49

Ok. Here's another one...
It's not from a recent trip, but rather one I took in August of 1974 (hence the poor photo quality)

Yikes! Did those houses in the background survive?
Did your house survive?!

I don't know how badly damaged those houses were. Our house was fine. Just the granite pier got trashed. I fixed it all and we have since sold the house so now it's someone else's worry.
