Basket of Dreams, Queenstown

Yes eggs, at the top of the Queenstown Hill Time Walk.

I could tell the skyline was the Remarkables - but hard work nailing this foreground.

This is in Africa - there is a Where's Wally object that would also serve as a clue.

Dr Livingstone I presume? Victoria Falls.

[eggs]

Yes - it was a statue of Dr Livingstone at Victoria Falls

Some years ago I read one of the Gutenberg volumes of the Livingstone/Stanley explorations. It was epic, difficult and sad.

Clues, the name of this small lake is consistent with the feature at this end of it.
In a very well known NP with explosive tendencies.

A National Park with explosive tendencies, sounds like Yellowstone? That looks a bit like a beaver dam, is that what you are referring to?

Correct Last, that answer is good enough. We are on the Beaver Ponds loop trail in the northern part of Yellowstone NP. Looking behind us waiting for a wandering bison to move off the track ahead.

I managed to narrow this down to Oslo harbour or waterfront area.
But I can't pinpoint the exact spot despite finding a near identical photo online.

Close enough john, i'm on the wharf at Frammuset

Thanks Last. That looks like a popular spot but even searching that name doesn't reveal any images remotely like it.

Let's revisit NZ:

Mirror Lakes below the Earl Mountains, Eglinton Valley - Te Rua-o-te-moko/Fiordland NP via Te Anau, New Zealand

No, but it's in the same general area.

[Walk_fat boy_walk]

Could be Eglington Valley... Mirror Lake maybe?

[johnw]

Could be Eglinton (EDIT) Valley... Mirror Lake maybe?

Yes, Mirror Lakes be it.

I agree eggs, my photo caption reflects that. You can join NNW and myself in the grammar and spelling police .

I had to look that up, it sounded more like a digestive problem . Right island but a fair distance away.

[icefest]

hmm.

Is that the Copland valley then?

[johnw]

Is that the Copland valley then?

No, but somewhat closer.

[icefest]

So far north!

Whitcombe valley?
