It is Hawaii but not Diamond Head or anywhere on Oahu. I'm on another island.

Thanks Greg, took a bit of research. I fear my chances of ever getting up there are slipping away now.

Over to the North American continent. Name the lake, bonus points for anything else:

Almost got it but this is not Two Jacks. The "nearby" in the previous clue will help nail this much larger neighbour.

:lol: Well if you drop the "r", yes. Lake Minnewanke it is. They actually pronounce the last bit "wonka" as in Willy Wonka but I suspect you knew that :wink:.
I didn't check the names when I was there, but I believe those peaks would be correct from my viewpoint.
All yours Greg.

Hint.
If i tried to take a photo from a location like this in Australia, I'd be arrested.

I felt lucky to be alive at this point.

Hmmmm, much lower peak eh?? That discounts the 5 biggest mountains in the world, so I'm guessing I'm up Ship Creek. :evil:
