Game: Where-is-it? (international)

[johnw]

Archway Islands, Wharariki Beach

[eggs]

Of course John - mustn't make them too hard.

[johnw]

Let's continue with NZ then:

Zoom shot from Queenstown Hill looking NW with a section of Bowen Peak on the left, Otago New Zealand

[johnw]

These peaks are probably less looked at than those worthy of comment behind me.

[eggs]

Are you on the Ben Lomond track looking down the Shotover?

[GregG]

Looking towards Bowens peak with the Remarkables behind you?

[johnw]

Are you on the Ben Lomond track looking down the Shotover?

Looking towards Bowens peak with the Remarkables behind you?

Both answers have merit. I'm looking in the general direction of both the Shotover and Bowen Peak, with The Remarkables behind me.
Although this is not "Where Am I" I'll give it to Greg as I'm on Queenstown Hill rather than the Ben Lomond track.
I should note that there is a lot of zoom and only a part of Bowen Peak occupies the LHS of the image.

[GregG]

Thank you John. Sorry to say that I have only ever been to Queenstown and Wanaka for activities other than walking. This time we are in Western Europe on a day walk.

[icefest]

Are you looking at the Mt Blanc Massif?

[GregG]

No, not Mont Blanc Icefest, you need to head nord west. A fair bit actually.

[GregG]

The surface elevation of this body of water is 814 metres.

[icefest]

About the only body of water water I can find in europe that's 814m high is the Alpsee.... Cant make that view fit on google earth though.

[GregG]

Yep, well done Icefest, it is the Alpsee, not far from Neuschwanstein. Sorry I don't have the name of the prominent feature in the centre background. Over to you.

[icefest]

That means the "Nord" was a hint!

Deciding to avoid a long tunnel found me walking past this pretty building in France. Where is it?

[eggs]

"Head nord west"... walks to the British Channel
Oi! Its over here in Germany! Looks to the 'Nord East'

[johnw]

Oi! Its over here in Germany! Looks too the 'Nord East'

I ended up in Scandanavia

I've probably seen this but don't remember it - Calais lighthouse?

[GregG]

Ah yes, I was directionally challenged !!! Should have said Nordosten. Sorry Eggs, I hope the British Channel wasn't too cold and John, Scandinavia would have been nice this time of year?

[icefest]

I've probably seen this but don't remember it - Calais lighthouse?

I hope the clues helped!

It is the calais lighthouse!

[johnw]

Unfortunately it went over my head, I just googled French lighthouses. Giving my age away, I don't think the tunnel had even been planned when I visited France .
I did realise why I couldn't remember the lighthouse. We were all sick as dogs below deck on a very rough channel ferry crossing from Dover to Calais .

An easy one from NZ:

Mackenzie Sheep Dog Statue, Lake Tekapo, Canterbury New Zealand

[Last]

it's the Mackenzie sheep dog statue at Lake Tekapo!

Trying to make them easy where possible. Correct, just near the Church of the Good Shepherd. All yours Last.

[Last]

Maybe not so easy, Europe.

[icefest]

Sigoldufoss

[Last]

That's correct icefest

[icefest]

Thanks Last.

Easy one in portugal.

[johnw]

You're on a dormant volcano. Mt Pico, Pico Island, Azores.

[icefest]

Yes johnw!

[johnw]

Canada:

Athabasca River from the Red Squirrel Trail, Jasper NP, Alberta Canada

[johnw]

I've posted from this locality before. I'm a relatively short walk from town.

[icefest]
