I would think somewhere along the Spanish Atlantic coastline. Anyway a nice place to be.

Not so simple. A first attempt: Somewhere on the Algarve coast e.g. Parque Natural da Ria Formosa. Not just a stretch of land, I know well.
Kind regards, Matthias.

Bravo. It is a typical landscape of the Eastern Algarve. But where the picture was taken?

OK, got you. Your location is presumably close to the golf course Quinta da Ria and we are looking to the Ilha de Cabanas.
Kind regards, Matthias.

It is not fair, but it is not there.

Cacela Velha? 600 meters eastward of my first attempt;-).

I can´t help with the riddle, but it must be an interesting place for studies in plants and birds. I´m impressed by the colours and by the horizont line.

@Matthias: I wanted to be precise for two reasons ;-)
1) I did not want people to think that I attend the golf courses ;-)
2) Cacela Velha (Old Cacela) is a small place, but very quaint and beautiful and deserves to be mentioned on this web-site ;-)

@Mentor: after all, you were oriented.
@Wolfgang: this area is very beautiful and full of flowers and birds, but it is also a bit too exploited for tourism to be a natural paradise.

@Guiseppe
Never mind. Anyway, thx for the riddle.
Kind regards, Matthias.

@Matthias: I'm curious to know how you managed to orientate so well.

Nice area. And congratulations to Matthias. I wouldn't find the place even now. KR Arno

@Guiseppe
I have learned to interpret landforms at university and nowadays geolocalization is also part of my daily work.

BTW, it's very interesting to inspect the mobility and dynamics of the Ria Formosa lagoon (especially the newly formed inlet) when comparing Google Maps with more up-to-date aerial views provided by Sapo Mapas (http://maps.sapo.pt/?ll=37.155154%2C-7.544028&z=16&t=&theme=Map).
Kind regards, Matthias.

Yes it is very interesting. I would add that the landscape also varies in relation to the tides. High tide is quite different from the low tide. Unfortunately I did not have enough time to photograph the area at low tide and high tide. The comparison would have been very interesting.

Dear Guiseppe,

Dear Matthias,
it is a wonderful citation.
I would say that it is also very suitable to the circumstance ;-)

Very interesting sea coast that I would visit again, as well as the more southerly tip to Tarifa.
