Looks volcanic - from the slope and ground below I would think it could be Mt Doom. [Mount Ngauruhoe]

Yep, couple of hundred meters from the top.

Next one is in the UAE

Something wadi?

by **eggs** » Thu 30 Apr, 2015 5:31 pm

I am only after the general area. Very hard to nail down exactly where this was.

by **oyster_07** » Thu 30 Apr, 2015 6:57 pm

At the risk of being vague....

Is is that park with an irrigated water supply from a spring? It's a fair way out of Dubai city and is out towards the border.

Vague, I know, but I just can't recall the name. I can give directions to get you there, but not a name.

I crossed a few borders to get here. The name of the area will do - or the major town we had passed through.
It is a spring - but the flow ends just behind me. The locals come here as a swimming hole.

al Buraymi?

by **eggs** » Fri 01 May, 2015 11:07 am

Not al buraymi.
One of my problems is that we may have crossed the border again into Oman to get here - but the spot is a popular tourist run out of Dubai, and the town name I am after is in the UAE.

by **oyster_07** » Fri 01 May, 2015 12:42 pm

Sounds just like the place in thinking of. I'll consult a map

Hatta township and Al Hajar Mountains region?

by **eggs** » Sat 02 May, 2015 7:31 pm

The town I was after was Hatta. They referred to the range as the Hatta mountains, and I suspect the pools may have been part of the Hatta Pools. Certainly there were some similarities with photos I have seen on the web.

Thanks eggs. Yes I found references to both the Hatta Mountains and Al Hajar or Hajar Mountains in relation to Hatta, so I suspected it may be part of the latter range. Interesting location, what attracted you to visit?

USA again:

: Wraith Falls - Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming USA

by **eggs** » Sun 03 May, 2015 8:42 am

Just passing through on the way to Kenya. Stopped a few days to check out the city, but I did want to see some of the desert areas, and the mountains were quite something in 40+ degree heat.

Yes, good work Michael. On Lupine Creek, via a short hike from the road through the Blacktail Deer Plateau area.
Plentiful wildlife like most of Yellowstone, I managed to photograph a marmot near the falls (more of a cascade really).

by **MickyB** » Tue 05 May, 2015 8:35 am

Thanks John. Your clue helped a lot.

Was the marmot you saw called Alan or Steve? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBtotBT6_lw

Anyone can post next.

OK to keep the game going name this NZ waterfall or the town that it's near.

by **north-north-west** » Thu 07 May, 2015 7:55 am

Reminds me of the Aratiatia? Rapids near Taupo. Not that they were in the town when I was there but that was a long time ago.

No. Further north than that.

by **Graham51** » Thu 07 May, 2015 9:31 am

I was reminded of the Taupo area too.
Try Haruru Falls, Paihia.

Spot on Graham. Well done.

Thanks MickyB.
Where or what is this hut in NZ?

by **Graham51** » Fri 08 May, 2015 10:27 am

South Island.
I chose this picture on the spur of the moment.

Nice clue Graham. After a small amount of research I'll try Bealey Spur Hut.

That's it John. A very nice walk through forest and then on the open spur to the snow line.

by **johnw** » Sat 09 May, 2015 10:34 am

Thanks Graham, looks a nice spot.

USA. What/where is this extensive upheaval area?

: Gros Ventre Slide - Gros Ventre Wilderness, Bridger-Teton National Forest via Jackson, Wyoming USA

The French must have observed a lot of big bellies around here.
