Is this one of those cheeky ones eggs? My first thought was that you might be on Mt Jerusalem summit.

Nope, that's Pelion West in clouds behind High Dome, with (I think) Macs to the right.

I did spend some time looking for a shot of it! I just need to go back and climb the damn thing!

That is PW, but the other point just to the right (and behind High Dome) is Perrins Bluff.

Hey nnw. I think it's safe to assume yours are never obvious!
Angles, angles, angles. Aaargh! So far High Dome is the closest I can find to matching the profile, but not close enough. How far off am I?
Edit: I think I should be further west. N'est-ce pas?

You should be further west.

Yes. You can tell because the visibility is greater than 25mm. I was checking those shots for Bill so it was fortuitous timing.

That's Agnew & Heemskirk - not sure how far away the camera is though?
Not sure - but maybe from Pelion West?
