BTW: "North" is about 10 o'clock on that photo.
Somewhere in the Atlantic Ticomaya?
Flying over the area having taken a pic. So, I say somewhere between the earth & outer space! (just jokin')
I'm going to be tied up sooner than I thought, so I'm going to throw out some hints.
The island is a bit over 30 miles long and 13 miles wide, and is self-governing, but not independent.
The following picture is a big hint:

Yes indeed, Francis ... the
Isle of Man in the Irish Sea.
This is their flag:
Bed time to me, someone else post please...
Where am I and who lived in this house?
The Isle of Man is Eileann Vannin in gaelic, for those who didn't already know that.
I didn't know that, McT...
The Rembrandt House Museum...
Yes Francis. Well done, I will have to m ake it harder for you guys!
I have to leave for a few hours, so, if someone wants to post...
Remembering. Just a quick place until Francis returns:
There's a 100 year anniverary these days ...
and so it is, Walter. I was thinking about Enrico Caruso. I think he was staying in some hotel there when the unthinkable occurred.
I was right.
At 5:12 a.m. on April 18, 1906, opera star Enrico Caruso was shaken from his slumber at San Francisco's Palace Hotel by a magnitude 7.8 earthquake.
Caruso, on tour with New York's Metropolitan Opera, had performed "Carmen" the night before. He was to witness the destruction of the largest city on the U.S. West Coast.
"I wake up about 5 o'clock, feeling my bed rocking as though I am in a ship on the ocean," he recalled in an article in London's Sketch magazine. "I get up and go to the window, raise the shade and look out. And what I see makes me tremble with fear. I see the buildings toppling over, big pieces of masonry falling, and from the street below I hear the cries and screams of men and women and children."
Not so dark - a view, Francis would know about, I suppose:
But where am I?
