Game: Where-is-it? (international)

[johnw]

Hmmm...Edith Cavell?

Might be Mt Aberdeen

Neither but both are in the general area.
Aberdeen is some way off but Edith Cavell is very close.

[CBee]

All the peaks in this area look the same. And they also have a river and a road at the base

[johnw]

That's the Canadian Rockies . Well some of it at least. I'm standing near a popular waterfall.
I can't recall if I could see nearby Edith Cavell from there but definitely saw it that morning.

[CBee]

Mt. Alberta?

[johnw]

Mt. Alberta?

Getting cold. This one is on the eastern side of the Icefields Parkway.
Edith Cavell is somewhere behind me and there is no significant/named peak between it and what I'm looking at.

Let's start somewhere. Bay of Islands?

[commando]

Picton
Marlborough Sounds

[eggs]

Its South Island - and not the Marlborough Sounds

[CBee]

Quail island on the left. Photo taken from the hills above Governors Bay/Allandale, south of Christchurch.

[eggs]

Correct - I would have said a view over Lyttleton Harbour from the Port Hills, but there you go.

[CBee]

I have been there only once, but I have to be honest, from the photo I could not really recognise the place, is too dark.

[CBee]

France. What I need to know is the name of the famous traverse starting/ending from the top of the ridge, where the mountaineers are standing. Don't forget to congratulate me for the panoramic shot.

Aiguilles Crochues Traverse, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc ...

[CBee]

Not far. Same valley wrong side...

[eggs]

I think you might be after Cosmique Route to Mt Blanc from Du Midi?

[CBee]

Arete des cosmiques. Aiguille du midi. Bravo eggs. Your turn.

[eggs]

The buildings in my shot had been done up a bit.
Amazing place up there.
Ireland next

[johnw]

Stone forts, Ring of Kerry/Dingle Peninsula?

[eggs]

Yes John - this one is called the Staig fort on the Ring of Kerry
[Except the Ring of Kerry is not on the Dingle Peninsula..]

[johnw]

Agreed. I looked at both localities, but photo evidence I found was ambiguous so had an each way bet .

USA:

On the second stairway of the Diamond Head hike, Diamond Head (Le‘ahi) State Monument, Honolulu, O‘ahu Hawaii USA

Is this the now-illegal Stairway to Heaven hike on Oahu?

Not that one ribuck. You're on the right island though.

[CBee]

Diamond Head Crater Hike.

[johnw]

Diamond Head Crater Hike.

That's it, aka Le‘ahi in Hawaiian. Always fun to do if you're in Waikiki, despite it getting busy at times.
I've done it a couple of times now, well worth the trivial $1-00 US entry fee IMHO.

[CBee]

Via ferrata name. Italy.
