Where is it?

[HowDidIGetIntoThis?]

Gee, I just learned something cool about Google Earth. I thought it drew straight lines when measuring distances but it is actually smart enough to consider the curvature of the earth. Draw a line from Vancouver, Canada to London, England and it takes the polar route.

US island?

 

[HowDidIGetIntoThis?]

US island? - You might consider it that, but I'd be a bit worried that others might consider that to be a misleading clue. There are a considerable number of Americans there. Lots of folks from other countries, too.

Guam?

So is it Pacific yes or no?

Is it a US territory?

 

[HowDidIGetIntoThis?]

Pacific - yes
US territory - yes (unincorporated)
Guam - yes.

Congratulations agilis. Over to you...

I apologize for this photo's limitations. I will not know what it looks like unil it posts. I'm not very good with computers at all. This is an image that might be a bit deceiving because I took this Kodachrome a long time ago. Hint: the perspective is facing north, and the island is significant.

 

[agilis]

It's so obscure. Two more hints are that my profile picture and avatar picture were take in exactly the same place, within 1 mile, though not necessarily the same year.

Nice Boat

Is it in the Pacific?

 

[agilis]

Not in the Pacific. The boat is a hollowed out tree trunk, made an ancient traditional way common to several cultures. Thre are three boats in the photo: one at each end of the long seine, and one barely visible on the extreme left, the chase boat manuvering the net's center over obstacles. I spent a full summer living with these fishermen, probably the happiest days of my life.
