ahh, now I get it! You're "a monk" at Munkholmen Munkholmen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Munkholmen (Norwegian, meaning the monk's islet) is an islet north of Trondheim, Norway in the Trondheimsfjord. The islet has served as a place of execution, a monastery, a fortress, prison, and a World War II anti-aircraft gun station. Today, Munkholmen is a popular tourist attraction and recreation site.

About 30 years ago I almost bought an island in the St. Lawrence Seaway. It was sort of like #15 in this pic, but I don't recall it having such a nice tree




OK, where in the world am I?
