What In The World Happened Here? XCI (91):

It sure looks like a California coastal scene, but it is not the big W from It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.

California. Check.

So you think it's a movie link?

I did not see a movie link. But a picture of a few palm trees always reminds me of that movie. And, of course, palm trees have had lots of movie roles over the years.

They would have shaking if at # 90

I've seen those unique trees.

Here's the vertical view.


This is near by:  

Arrrrrrgh! if this thread had rules... SteveC would be disqualified. Or not.

And that gorgeous beach has my seal of approval.

OK, I do not know those trees, but it must be an island, given the direction of Steve's beach.

Texas Tower #4, one of three Distant Early Warning system towers, was built in 1957 in 180 feet of water in the Atlantic 58 miles offshore from New York. It collapsed in a storm in January 1961, killing 28 men and prompting courts martial and a Senate investigation.

I knew I shoulda rotated that picture!

I suppose it wouldn't take the likes of AlanK more than a few minutes to ID that second pic I posted.

You west coasters have an advantage. Do I need to channel my thoughts to a particular island?

Update: What In The World Happened Here? LXXX (80):

Top secret film made from a German soldier during his vacation risking his life. Filmed at the early morning of May 17th 1943 from the north bound of the dam.

You have it. So what event(s) may or may not explain this?

What In The World Happened Here? XCII (92):

I believe that non-rotated pictures are part of the unwritten rules of this game. We have made use of orientation before.

Oh, yeah... Cabrillo.

In accordance with the rules of this thread, an unnumbered bauble for a beautiful Sunday afternoon.

Can you find the hidden tiger?

Is there a hidden message here?

There is a resemblance to #42. I thought of big events that would use something of that shape and size, but earlier than the one in #42. Thanks to Wikipedia, I could start in Athens and proceed. Thanks to wagga, he did not force many iterations.

Mike, you said just enough.
