Actually closely resembles Vancouver Island’s pencil-like lighthouses 

 

You're in the right area but it's not "Vancouver" island

Trial islands ? B.C.

You are correct, I took that shot while on a whale watching trip on our 20th anniversary.

I'll have to find my portable hard drives because everything on this computer seems too easy.

Anyway, your turn.

Thanks @lyndarra I was wondering what the cryptic clue meant. It was shot 2 years ago and that doesn't seem that long ago.

Can you name the Country or Territory?

I like cryptic crosswords.

I have been past there twice, once by ferry and once by ship.

I like trying to figure them out, @MicCanberra often has good ones.

Which ferry did you take that went by Trial Island? Perhaps the Victoria Clipper?

Another shot from the same place,

[lyndarra]

Sorry Lyle, I don't remember the ferry name. It was a two night stay in Victoria after a road/rail tour from Calgary before boarding Celebrity Solstice Sep 2015.

Does this help?

[Blackduck59]

Cheers @lyndarra That is a spirit class ferry. Either the Spirit of British Columbia or Spirit of Vancouver Island. They wouldn't have taken you past Trial Island, although the Georgina Point lighthouse looks similar. You would have probably seen Trial Island if you took the Scenic Drive along the waterfront from Victoria to Oak Bay (it's a short drive).

Greenland?

Yes Qaqortoq Greenland, last month on Jewel of the seas.

I am certainly pleased radar has been much improved since I was serving at sea.

Thanks.

A true guess. I have never been there but I just used my imagination and asked myself "where do icebergs come from" and, Titanic and Greenland immediately popped into my head.

Next pic(s). Name this canal.

 

[Mareblu]

Midi Canal, France?

[lyndarra]

Not Midi but country is correct.

[lyndarra]

Time for a hint.

It has been mentioned in this forum sometime in 2022.

[Mareblu]

One more try, before capitulating 😂:

Garonne?

[lyndarra]

Yes it is the Garonne near a village called Hure.

Your turn Linda.

It’s beautiful.  Okay, this is a little more obscure, but fascinating for those interested in geological history.  I snapped this in 2018.  The clue is in the background

 

[lyndarra]

A glacial valley.

Scotland?

Very, very warm.  Can you name it?

[lyndarra]

My initial thought was Snowdonia but it didn't quite fit. I can't see Ben Nevis so I'm a bit stumped.

Charles Darwin’s theory was incorrect, believe it or not.  Louis Agassiz, who first postulated the now proven theory of cyclical ice ages, was correct.
