Pelican Rock. (Actually, I'm a cheater. I inadvertantly clicked on the photo and it gave me the answer. Doh!)

My photos are so simple... only easy places to ID.

How about this one... what is the first island seen just beyond the cacti?

OK, this is my last photos suitable for this game. In a way this has sort of been my trip report and I hope you've enjoyed the photos posted. I also hope that others will continue to post up shots and keep the game going. I look forward to pondering each photo.

For this shot, I must disclose that's it's not exactly on STJ but I'm sure most of you can guess the location! :)

liamsaunt- I too recognized that tree from Disney's Animal Kingdon- but had forgotten the name. Too funny! :roll:

pmk... of course, you are in the dreaded departures lounge of Cyril E King Airport in St Thomas. :cry:

Your trip report and terrific pics were a fun learning experience for me, and I am glad that you had such a good time!

Now, are you pondering (I like that word also 8) ) my question????

Yes, SO and Mande, that's the last painkiller at the STT airport. Got to love an airport that serves goat stew!

Iprof, I have been pondering and am stumped. I'm hoping someone will come to the rescue and give us an ID. I also still have a photo out there with the tombs ... anyone?

Please do keep the photos challenges coming. I just got back from snowblowing, and such activity is doing nothing for my tan!

Lots to catch up on every time I look at this--
The graves are at Cinnamon Bay
The snorkel spot is Pelican Rock
The steps are Annaberg
Yep, I will chime in on Windy Hill
The ruins above Leinster are not called that--you can call it the Murphy estate house, or the Leinster estate house, or the Reform School (that's what I call it), but Windy Hill is somewhere else, and if the @#%&?!! trail bandit publishes a map to there , I will personally give him a pair of concrete overshoes.
