Did we actually establish that it is Antarctica? C.I. confirmed the Drake Passage and that it was a photo from his Antarctica trip, but perhaps it's Tierra del Fuego or the South Orkneys or Cape Horn or ....
When you think about ships going through the Drake Passage before the Panama Canal....
Is that a mountain that we are viewing, C.I.? How about the Pensocola?
Could be Falkland Island.
Walter, I think it has been established that it isn't the Falklands.
Ti, It's Cape Horn. I sailed passed Cape Horn once before in 2002, but because of the heavy fog could not see it. However, on our return from Antarctica to Ushuaia, we passed Cape Horn. It was a overcast day, but was able to see Cape Horn. Not many people get the opportunity to see it, so I thought it would be fun to post this picture.
Oh! Another wild guess wins!
... um, maybe someone else can post ... I've kinda got too many things on my plate right now ....
Well, Europe is asleep, and Calamity Jane hasn't been here for awhile. Where is Ticomaya?
A short break while Europe sleeps.
What is this?
If you guess where this is, you win a coupe doll.
That funny lookin' potential buzz bomb looks as though it's in C.I.'s back yard in California, right?
No. It's not a 'buzz' bomb, and it's not in our back yard.
C.I. I was very weary last evening, and simply could not go through the motions of discovering your place. You must admit, my friend, that picture is rather hard to pin down.
This picture reminds me a little story, years ago, while I was in the US.
We were talking about differents things with an acquaintance when he asked me if I knew any gay.
I told him I knew only one, it was Enola...
That guy was not a little boy...
Francis, that is a wonderful way of saying you know what that picture is. The Enola Gay? fabulous. The pilot named the plane after his mother, I think.
You always give such subtle hints, Francis. So, C.I., that must be a replica of the A-bomb.
Hey, C.I. was it? <smile>
Can't hide anything from Francis. He's right, ofcoase. I worked with nukes during my four year service in the US Air Force in the late fifties. When we first got our job assignment after our basic training, I was wondering why everybody in our squadon got their next base assignment, but I was held back at the basic training camp. Later learned they were performomg a background investigation on me for a top secret security clearance. When we were first introduced to a nuke weapon, we were told not to talk about our job when we were outside the secured area. If caught, the penalty was $10,000 (a lot of money back in those days) and ten years in prison. They now have these weapons on display in the US. I know there's one on display at the Smithonian in DC.
