Default This should be a good guesser

Determine what this is and where it is located. Good luck. I will tell in 2 days.

By the date, I believe this is from your 70 day back2back2back on Regal or Royal Princess. That trip made me realize that it is possible to see the world from a ship. This picture seems like it might be a bunker on some Pacific Island.

I figured it was some stone age burial mound that had been restored, but I haven't a clue.

Luanne---You are so right. I have to ponder and think hard on some that I have. And some I still do not know where they were taken. BUT I will not put one in a thread that I do not know where etc.

Given the Korean on the sign to the left, I would say that this is in Korea. As that is Kanji (Chinese or Japanese) above the Tori gate, this has to be an old site.

Still don't know where. All we did in Pusan was shop in the local market; never made it to the historical sites.

Well, The two of you keep posting those pictures, because I have really enjoyed them. What do you do with them? Photo albums?

It looks a lot like a burial mound. Probably someone important, like a head of state.

You guys do your research well. Here is a sign which tells about the picture. Thanks to all that viewed and commented. The place was outside of Puson, south Korea. We rode train to he end of the run. Then took a bus to the town. Then we taxied to this location. It was a very rememberable tour.
