That same strategy appears to have paid off this time. I'm getting a good match to those red and white striped cranes in images of the Callao container port. I've also found a match to that gray crane at the left with yellow near its base. Then taking it even further, I think I've matched the details in the concrete on the edge of the pier. That all adds up to a relatively high level of confidence that this is Callao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried to follow the advice, but admit that I've weakened several times. I think you are correct about Callao, @bluemarble. The pier angles also seem to work out for the Evergreen ship in the right side background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the only photo of the port I was able to capture as we were whisked away by bus to Lima. Who'd have thought that you and Fred would be able to match cranes!

Sorry Chaps, neither Spain or Portugal. I'll offer another photograph though you'll have to excuse the narcissistic nature.

It certainly is Le Lavandou and well done North West Newbie. A delightful port to visit with a superb Ferris Wheel... ...and famous for its 12 fountains, all of which we found and photographed... https://www.lelavandou.eu/ukhistoire/fontaines.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Solent Richard Posted May 8, 2021 #2885 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Hopefully my Nauplion answer is correct and that gives me an opportunity to add something else that appears on our list not yet confirmed with a photograph.

I suppose there's not many Amazon ports left. I struggled to find a photo of this port and resorted to lifting a frame from video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
