If I wanted to see this scene on STJ, does anyone know where I would go?

Hmm, Peace Hill/Denis Bay looking towards Lovango Cay?

Cheers, RickG

Rick- Thanks for taking a shot at it, I'll see if I can rationalize that scenario.

I think it is somewhere over near Waterlemon or Leinster Point looking towards Leinster Bay and Mary creek...I thought the farthest island in the back was JVD...but, of course I'm not sure...

Brown Bay was my second choice, but I thought that was STT in the distance. From Brown Bay/Leinster Bay the island straight out could be that island with the salt pond due West from Tortola. I can't find the name anywhere.

Sedi/Capt. John?

Cheers, RickG

I thought it was out East End way. I took this one the day we headed out to Sloop's.

Rick-
This pic was posted on Panoramio/Google Earth as being in Brown Bay and I thought that was incorrect, maybe not..

I was actually trying to do a virtual validation by setting different points of reference in google earth and then adjusting the horizon or "Y-axis reference point" so that the view I see on GE is from ground zero along the horizon rather than looking directly at the earth from above (GE allows adjustment of 3 axis)...you can actually see some things as they look fron earth that way...I thought this might be too weird to post but after reading your other post referring to "canonical", nodes and IP addresses...I figured you had me out-geeked.

SJ - that looks identical, just a different angle.

to me, it looks like the view from the Anaberg school, looking toward Mary Point.

is that possible?

I too think it's a view from Annaberg. Here is a similar picture we took back in July. I see that same island mountain with the very large protrusion on one side:

Yep, it sure looks like the same perspective as those Annaberg Ruins photos....looking straight out towards JVD right past Anna point (as labeled on Trail Bandit map)...hey- thanks for playing along with the mystery game!

It's taken from the Annaberg Sugar Mill Ruins with a very wide angel lens. From left to right, behind the frangipani tree is Anna Point (part of Mary Point), Great Thatch, Jost way in the back, and the little tip on the right is Little Thatch. I would say it's pointing almost due north.
