Game: Where-is-it? (international)

[MountainMadness]

Yes eggs. Your turn.

Its impressive how they formed. The falls were 1 m high after the earthquake and the river was re-directed (due to landslide), and over the years have got to a height of ~10 m due to erosion and additional fault movement.

Finding shots difficult.
Lets try this one - a tourist shot in Europe

[MountainMadness]

Haven't been there but looks like Aiguille du Midi. Location looks spectacular however I do admit it looks a little more touristy than my usual destinations.....

[eggs]

Aiguille du Midi is correct - in France looking straight into Mt Blanc and over the great glacier basin.
Quite a few adventurers were moving out onto the glacier and some were even camping on it.
But this day was just a typical tourist day for us.
The next day was the start of 11 days doing the Tour Mt Blanc which goes 170km around the range.

[MountainMadness]

Staying in Europe, which well known hut is this?

[MountainMadness]

I would have thought some of you would have been here before as its a nice and challenging hike (no technical climbing required). Its the base camp for a well known mountain in The Alps.

[eggs]

Looks like the Hornlihutte at the foot of the Matterhorn

[MountainMadness]

Yep that's it. Photo is actually taken from the other side of Zermatt up near Sunnegga (got the zoom in action).

Over to eggs

[eggs]

Lets try Hong Kong - name of the track

Another photo on this walk has been posted earlier

Sorry due to changed work situation I don't have a lot of time to monitor the photo games at present.
Brian I think you are still tickling the Dragon's Back

[eggs]

Just like last time John. Dragon's Back walk in Hong Kong

[johnw]

Where am I getting hot under the collar in the USA?

Looking across the Kilauea Caldera from the current limit of the Halema‘uma‘u Trail - Hawaii Volcanoes NP, Hawaii USA

[photohiker]

Hawaii? Big Island?

[johnw]

Hawaii? Big Island?

Yes and yes. Just need to narrow it down to this spot.

[photohiker]

Would it be Kīlauea?

We were there in 2001

[ribuck]

I had my honeymoon there in 1993!

[johnw]

Would it be Kīlauea?

This is a specific feature on Kīlauea.

[ribuck]

Would it be Kīlauea?

This is a specific feature on Kīlauea.

Kilauea-Iki crater floor?

[johnw]

Kilauea-Iki crater floor?

Not Kilauea-Iki, which I just climbed out of before descending to here, but you're close...

[ribuck]

Is it part of the Byron Ledge?

[johnw]

Is it part of the Byron Ledge?

Well, not exactly although I did use part of the Byron Ledge trail to get down here. Most of the lower part of that trail is closed due to volcanic conditons. You are close enough though. I'm at the currently permitted limit of the Halema‘uma‘u Trail in the caldera, looking roughly towards the crater/lava lake. Your turn.

[ribuck]

I acknowledge Photohiker as the first one who mentioned Kilauea.

The following photo is from Spain. I'll accept the nearest village, or the name of the valley.

Canal de Tejo (below the village of Bulnes), Pico de Europas, Spain

A kilometre or so up the valley, it flattens out a little and becomes treed. Looking across the valley, you see this:

The view from near the bottom of the valley. The distinctively-shaped mountain in the distance is the highest in the area and is popular with climbers.

Not getting much traction. Not sure if it narrows it much but I presume you are in the Pyranees?

[ribuck]

Not in the Pyrenees, so that narrows it down a bit!

I'll keep posting nearby photos (because I don't do cryptic word-clues) until someone works it out. No hurry.

[MountainMadness]

Never been to Spain - but thanks to your last photo I do recognize Naranjo de Bulnes. Nice mountain which is on my list.......

That suggests you are in Picos de Europa, but not sure on the valley. I'll guess Cares Gorge.

[ribuck]

I am indeed in Picos de Europa. It's not the Cares Gorge, although my valley does flow down to the Rio Cares. To walk up my valley, you start by crossing the Cares on this attractive bridge:

My other option I considered last night was Canal del Tejo (Texu). Other than that I'll leave to other punters........
