Yes it would, he was a spirit of the sea I believe and quite tall. He never wore any clothes and caused a bit of a stir when he first appeared. The locals were upset and caused a bit of a stir so much so it upset his creator who did a bunk to the main land and never came back. Does not look like any other takers, perhaps time to name the place and your turn next.😀 Edited October 15, 2023 by JohnGc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare arxcards Posted October 15, 2023 #11827 Share Posted October 15, 2023 If anyone else wants to jump in with the clues, go for it. It will be a few hours before I can get access to my photos to be able to roll on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowm54 Posted October 17, 2023 #11841 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Although a brief stop we found it a great place to visit with very friendly and open locals. The area was surveyed by Lt J. Cook whom did such a thorough job he was appointed to observe the transit of Venus from Tahiti and then search for the Great Southern land, which he found. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackduck59 Posted October 17, 2023 #11842 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I suspected St. Johns, I was in Newfoundland in September but on the west side of the rock. St. Johns is just about as far away from my home and still be in Canada. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing special like particular types of pine trees, just everyday trees. The picture is taken from the island, and the trees in the background are growing on a much bigger island.
