It has been a while since I've seen a thread like this - the rules are simple: attempt to identify the location of the last posted picture in the thread. Once the picture poster confirms the first correct responder that person then gets to add a (sailing-related) picture to the thread and the game continues.
Since I'm no good at this type of guesswork my only chance of getting a picture into the thread is by starting it off with the following picture:
There really aren't too many details in the picture. The sailboats have draw some depth and wouldn't be located in an area where they couldn't sail around a bit. The absolute north and west is flat and doesn't have much in the way of hills. This might be a riverside, so I'll hazard a guess that it might the along the Aller river and hope to get a hint if I'm wrong...
This is not Egypt, but it is salt water. The natives don't speak Engrish as their native tongue in this locale. The waters are somewhat colder than in the Med or Red Sea as well.
It's an interesting one this female muttley isn't it ? Arnd says salt water and coolish salt water at that, yet the cruise ship in the background is most definitely not ocean going. So inland salt sea or a large enough body of water to permit a cruise liner wandering about in protected waters.
And dont forget the flowers on the pillar.
Ex-Roman, Inland, salt water, religious, with cruise ships, flat and arid with ugly architecture.... Got me buggered!
No, its not China. The water and the sky are both blue. If you have been in China you would have noted the sky is white or smoke coloured and the water is brown with bodies floating in it.
(India is the same except in the water floating with the bodies are whole towns...)
My guess is the black sea...
The cruising boat in the back looks like the types you find there in the northern part around the krim and the danube delta...
i know that i have seen that before... but cannot pin it down...
my old memory fails at me again...
if i am at least partly correct, it should be at the entrance to some of the bigger waterways there... i just cannot find it.
i let you other guys give it a shot because i would not know what to post next, if i would have guessed it...
Capt. Vimes - you got it, Sevastopol and the monument to flooded ships is correct, and we'll just agree that at the time of guessing it did indeed belong to the Ukraine.
next one might be a bit easy...
so please give the exact name of this beach and city...
