You do learn something about distances in this game when you start opening up maps... Thelist 1:25000 and google maps both going flat out here.
The rough location was easy enough because of the amount of fagus on the hillsides. The biggest clue was revealed by eggs, surely referring to Lake Fenton. Certainly the shape of the southern side matches.
Lining up the angle of the shore and taking into account the wide angle obviously used to fit that much bush into the photo in the foreground, you must be at Seagers Lookout.

I was helped a lot by eggs on that one, I hadn't scanned far enough away from Lake Dobson to seriously consider that lake (dam) as a candidate until I got his clue.

OK let's see what I can find.

Shooting from the hip - I am thinking Hyperion from the walk up the Ducaine range from the Labrynth?

Close. Right mountain that I am looking at, right view (sort of), but my location is somewhat out. More zoom than that. I'm on a mountain, not far from its summit. Isn't it a great view from up there tho, where you say. I was going thru photos looking for potential images for the game and all the photos from that area are so obvious.

The only low peak nearby I can think of is Eros?
But the angle looks totally wrong - and perhaps you are higher than you seem. Is this from Massif?

No and no and perhaps a bit more zoom.

Looks like its just you and me.
A bit of shame I have got so many wrong.
The foreground says not Geryon, and the angle says not Walled Mtn, but it could be the Acropolis?

You know after the recent talk of Hyperion, I actually thought this was the famous peak!! Could it be from Falling Mtn??

A few people I know have said this is one of the most difficult peaks to climb

Well that was tricky.
Next time I won't shoot from the hip :lol:

This one is for Taure-rana... [now I know why some call her elf-lady for ease.]

The view is of the White Monolith Range. [PS - not Moniloths ILUVSWTAS :roll: ]

Well has anyone been up Hyperion?? Is it truly difficult????

Eggs you HAVE to be on the Frankland range somewhere... Maybe thats remote peak on the right??

I'll start with the Cupola??

Its that search tool thingy.
When Taure-rana said she had no idea where moniloths where in Tasmania - I thought she might need a picture.
But when I searched for the post - I couldn't find it. It was then that the penny dropped that she may have been having a go at the spelling.

Lakes that look like that... Dead trees... How about Rogoona? Looks more like the ridge to the north than the actual summit.

Maybe slightly but maybe not, probably equal distance away from this place.

No. Hey, look at that. I cannot just say "No."
I get an error that says
Your message contains 3 characters. The minimum number of characters you need to enter is 5.

Well, that gets me my 5 characters.
So, again, No.
Compare with last image of mine, see if that helps. Swing round a bit.
