Local Hero immediately came to mind for me too, although I know that’s not right.StrapMeister wrote: ↑Wed Jun 01, 2022 6:12 pm My first thought was Pennan (Film: Local Hero) but the location doesn't look right!

Steve, looking at those prayer flags I would say it’s somewhere in Tibet but I don’t recognise that hill in the background

Well, it’s not Rongbuk or Tengboche, and it’s not Everest. But you probably knew that.

Re: The “Where’s My Watch?” Game
Well there have been very few comments in my photo so it’s time for a clue to get you thinking. Hemingway has been the only mention so far, which I take as a reference to somewhere tropical around Florida or the Caribbean? Yes it’s tropical but is probably the opposite side of the world.
However I don’t think you’ll just guess the location without working it out from the clues in the photograph so here’s clue number 1.
That anchor isn’t any old anchor. It’s from a well known ship. This ship is linked to this place and if you guess the ship, you’ll be able to work out the place.
I won’t comment further if anyone wants to just post their thoughts, but I will say if you get it right. However if you’re no nearer then I’ll post another clue tomorrow.
