Cevennes? As part of the Robert Louis Stevenson Trail?
Robert Louis Stevenson was ok, but I hear Modestine was a real *&%$#! to hike with.

I've got no photos to post if I'm correct but as no one else has guessed I'll take a stab and say somewhere along the Robert Louis Stevenson Trail (your clue being 'Travels with a Donkey in the Cévennes' by RLS)???
Sometimes, I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

Yes MickeyB, I was getting worried no one would be able to pick it.
I was in the Cevennes on the GR70, following in the footsteps of the literary great Robert Louis Stevenson and Modestine his donkey. Some people do the hike authentically with a donkey!

Haven't been there - but I could imagine this might be the Caples valley?

I guess it could have been a rather common scene in NZ.
But I started at a well frequented place.
Next one in NZ.

I won't answer because I've got no more photos to post but I think this is on the path to Franz Josef Glacier.

And the reason for that is that you are right.

Routeburn?
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

It is. Maybe only half an hr out from Dart Hut, en route to Cascade Saddle (which is hidden behind the spur in the middle of the picture), looking up at Mt Edward and Marshall Glacier. Over to you.
