    You got me. :tb-biggrin: I don't speak any Euskara. I merely picked my phrase from the wikitravel phrasebook.

    I speak Spanish, some Italian, some Latin, and some Scottish Gaelic, and very few words of Japanese, but, alas, no Euskara.

    Its really all gibberish to me. I had to learn Texican when I moved here. I can communicate with Frisco Bob in his native tongue. ;)

    Well, I have spent some time poking around northern Italy and some in Grease. Working my way East. Probably passed right over it. I did find a spot where someone got murdered on the Orient Express.

    Looks like I will have to give a major hint since you guys did not get it overnight.

    It is in Africa.

    Well, I'll be a..... with the way the shadows were, I was looking in the northern hemisphere.
    Since Africa is pretty much cut in half by the Equator that narrows the search area.

    Wow, never thought there would be so many rail lines crossing the Atlas Mountains along the north coast in the area between Marrakesh and Tunis.

    I may go back and look for the Scott Stutzman special. If I am going to be looking for a needle in a hay stack I may have better luck.

    Well, maybe. The vast majority of Africa is north of the Tropic of Capricorn. If the photo was taken around mid day on December 31, the shadows would be falling to the north just about everywhere in Africa except for parts of Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique and all of South Africa. Hmmm. Zimbabwe (Rhodesia) has lots of railroads.
