I have a close up picture of a flower here. I wonder if you can guess where this picture was taken.

Hint - Not in South Africa

Sorry. I thought that "SF 52" could lead you to Iceland.
That boat is also permanent on land in Høfn.

Sorry again for that SF trouble.
I've heard about Solund Verft, but never been there.
When fishing boats where still built in wood we exported quite a few to Iceland.

The Grand River runs past this old toy factory. This is not far from where part of my hovercraft hull came apart six years ago and sent me on my current experimental rebuild phase.

Was no trouble, just have been to dumb to search outside Norway!

SF is Skaftafellssýsla when we lookup the Islandic Fishery register. Austur Skaftafellssýsla, largest town Höfn, greatest attraction Vatnajökull.
