Topic Wiki

Posting Rules:
-Post your own pictures that you took yourself.
-Only the correct guesser gets to post a picture, pictures posted by non-winners will be deleted.
-If 2 hours have passed since the winner was crowned and no image was posted anyone may post a picture.
-The correct guess must include the city name, or in the case of a small island the island name is acceptable.
-We're going on the honor system here, but you can't use a reverse image search to find out where a picture is.
Avoid the temptation and let's try to make this a fair and fun game :D
-If nobody figures out where the location is after an hour or so the original poster of the picture should start giving clues or can post another picture from the same city until its correctly guessed.
-All Players may not guess again until either 5 mins has passed or until another player guesses.

Nope. May be hard to see, but there are palm trees in the pic.

I don't know if we've moved on. But if we still are doing this one, I can provide a hint: "Despite the phone booth, they drive on the right side".

No, but mguy hasn't been giving more clues.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

I actually went quiet intentionally since there was another city pic that jumped in. And once two people followed up on that one, I didn't want to confuse things by continuing with mine. But I see all those posts were deleted...

I'll post another clue soon.

Here's another hint... This pic is in the area airport. Looking over at the next plane which is Sir Richard Branson's private jet.

(Where's BAHayman? I thought he would get this in a second.)

Seems this one is falling flat. I don't have more pics with identifying characteristics that anyone would recognize. So if no one gets it in about an hour, I'll give it up and pass to anyone else.

or you can try posting another hint, even if it's not a picture...

Necker Island?

Scratch that -- Necker Island has no runway!

Bingo! moish has got it by now, but you were right. It's all part of the British Virgin Islands.

The first pic is a popular island stop for those on a boat.

You're right Necker itself doesn't have a runway. Branson would take a helicopter from the main island (Tortola). But his estate burned down this last year - was all over the news.

As for the other hint, they drive on the left like the Brits but get their cars from the US with the steering wheel on the left.
so technically neker is incorrect

Technically the 'city' rule is flawed, since many pics posted weren't from urban settings.
