... so we're looking at a sea? Maybe you're right, A... Asia is closer to Canaries in that direction.. and the vegetation looks better. China Sea?

I think Rob's gone for the duration so I guess we'll just have to wait.

All a bit confusing. I was thinking that Rob meant we were looking at a sea but away to the south it is all ocean.

Ni how? is chinese for "hello, how are you"? but "Li how ma"? means nothing to me.

So I guess it's Asia.

Rob, I think we need some clarification. There isn't anywhere in China that looks out to an ocean. Some very big seas but no oceans.

Inland location?? You funnin' us, fallard??

Try 22 degrees,28 minutes North by 112 dgrees, 32 minutes, 8 seconds East, using the lat/lon readout at the bottom of the GE window. That would put you 41 km NE of the center of Hong Kong Island, where you will see a small island.

You will see a photo that matches the headland to the right in post #1067 if you go to Panoramio - Untitled photo
