Where is this?

Chafarinas Islands
a Spanish archipelago off the coast of Morocco. the populated (garrisoned) island is isla Isabel II I and the endangered gull is Audouin's Gull.

 

Congratulations, Adrian! You've been most fast and precise!
Your turn now.

 

Thanks for the puzzle, Guillermo. I do like an island. l was itching to have a go at Richards shipbuilding one! It was your gulls that gave me the key.
And now, to business. This is where I was born.

 

Mr Turner knows where it is.

 

Ha ha! well done Crag! splendid! My mum has tales of courting in punts here. Rather larger than the 'best on best' here though. Although I can't find any examples on google, l have been told by a chap who used to race that they came as narrow as nine inches.

I'm out of range for a week or two now, staying on this little island and playing with these little bath tubs. so over to you...

 

Well, almost a week and nothing yet, so here's what I tought....

Crag's picture and the name Turner really made it easy.

Google ‘‘Turner bridge painting’’ immediately gave J. M. W. Turner which gave Rain, Steam and Speed which gave the Maidenhead Railway Bridge as the location of Tiny's narrow punts.




Crag, of course feel free to post a new search as Tiny proposed, but for in the meantime I suggest we go on with Tinies new pics.


-

I'm stuck on UK for now because ‘‘little island’’ and ‘‘playing with these little bath tubs’’ and the 2 pics gave me too less clues to get anything more out of it....

Perhaps someone else . . . . ? ?

Or do we wait for more clues when Tiny comes back . . . . . . .

Good luck!
Angel

PS
Wild guess; Lake District - North West England, hills / mountains and vegetation made me think so...

 

Did I say that already?


You are unbelievable, knowledgeable, and sometimes


enjoyable folks

are you?

Love you..........

Well,

I´m back from sailing and what do I find here?

All asleep!

 

Hi Richard-and everyone -I'm back from a gruelling sojourn on my mystery island, after enduring terrible weather conditions as you can see. Crag or Angel next up, I think, after Stirling work on Maidenhead bridge. But if you'd like to have a go, It wasn't in the lake district, Angel. In fact it was pretty close to some highly notorious waters. Perhaps a few holiday snaps may help....

 

The island has a couple of M2 amphibious bridging vehicles too. which come in handy when your cows are lovesick and you have to fetch them a lusty young bull for a little island Lovin...

 

Gairloch in north-west Ross-shire?

 

Not so far North, Hoyt.
Here's a standing wave in good conditions in one of the nearby scary waters. The tide can run at up to 10 knots here, even though the water is a minimum of 30 metres deep, and up to 200 metres deep.

 

Perhaps the Sound of Jura would be more on target?

 

Getting warmer! perhaps multimap might help?
Another wicked tide race nearby:
