Name the USA location where I'm standing. Bonus point for any other info:

: Kualoa Ranch, O'ahu, Hawaii USA

by **johnw** » Sun 27 May, 2018 6:54 pm

The spot where I'm standing is not remote at all. Much of what you see is privately owned/commercial use.

Connection with Hollywood.

Kualoa Ranch, O'ahu island, Hawaii

Yes eggs. A national historic site and now an adventure park, used as a location for film and TV work since the 1960s, possibly most famously for "Jurassic Park" (several other Hawaiian locations were also used for that movie). Also a large private nature reserve and working cattle ranch. We only visited Oahu for a couple of days had lunch there as part of a bus tour around the island.

: Looking back to Hausberg Col from Hausberg Tarn on our trip to and around Mt Kenya

by **GregR** » Tue 29 May, 2018 8:04 pm

Looks a wee bit like Mt Kenya.

by **eggs** » Tue 29 May, 2018 9:57 pm

I shouldn't be cruel and ask for more detail.
We took 6 days over Mt Kenya and this was day 5.

I'll take the win as I had never heard of Mt Kenya- google is my friend indeed.

This one's in Britain. There is something magical about this place - as well as something small, something tall and when it's all said and done- something really quite deep about this location.

by **eggs** » Wed 30 May, 2018 3:28 pm

At the Inn at Wasdale Head?

PS - I guess we should start filling in your items:
Deep = Wastwater behind you - the deepest lake in England [and we only got to the southern end of it in our travels].
small = St Olaf's Church [thankyou Wikipedia ]
tall = Scaffell Pike - tallest mountain in England rising above the lake.
magical = ?? maybe a litter of winged hounds? and the World's Biggest Liar competition - or maybe Napes Needle?

Not even close Eggs- I reckon I was 400m away from the Inn when I took this!! I was quite possibly near the church, but what's a few meters between friends.

St Olafs Church is so tiny I could have cleaned the gutters from the ground, they are so low.
The magical bit was simply the place- for me it was heaven on a stick.

Over to Eggs yet again.

I do enjoy chasing down visual clues.
Like the line up of the pole, the fence corner and the 2 breaks in the fence line..

: A street view from Wasdale Head Inn on Google maps

Next one is in NZ - bonus if you can name the rock feature I am next to.

: Meads Wall with Mt Doom behind

by **north-north-west** » Wed 30 May, 2018 4:49 pm

Currently taking bets on that thing being called the Woodpile.

by **eggs** » Wed 30 May, 2018 5:14 pm

Not the Woodpile

Another view from the other end.,.

: Clambering on Meads Wall

by **johnw** » Wed 30 May, 2018 10:13 pm

Meads Wall on Pinnacle Ridge, Mount Ruapehu (looking towards Mt Ngauruhoe in the first shot).

Yes - all parts of which featured in Lord of the Rings

Sticking with NZ:

: Lady Elizabeth Bowen Falls, Milford Sound/Piopiotahi, Te Rua-o-te-moko/Fiordland NP via Te Anau New Zealand

by **johnw** » Fri 01 Jun, 2018 12:46 pm

Water is very popular around these parts.

by **eggs** » Fri 01 Jun, 2018 5:05 pm

Initial reaction was one of the falls into Milford Sound - but a quick check on no match.

However, a closer look and it might just be Stirling Falls.
Taken from a boat or kayak off the Sound.

by **wayno** » Fri 01 Jun, 2018 5:57 pm

nah, thats the bank up the back of my house after a shower..

Not Stirling, which we also visited, but you are close eggs. Would be too easy without the zoom.

by **eggs** » Sat 02 Jun, 2018 12:45 am

How strange - I had originally written that it could be the unnamed 60m fall upstream from Stirling, just below the Little Matterhorn.
But I changed my answer after another look.
I have a photo with both in it.
Hard to imagine how you could get this angle on it, but just maybe with some zoom...

Sorry eggs, not that close to Stirling. The falls are named.
Possibly a slightly different angle to the classic shot.

by **eggs** » Sat 02 Jun, 2018 7:37 pm

I didn't get an angle on Bowen Falls that looked like that - but the same features are there

Or to give the full title Lady Elizabeth Bowen Falls. I think I may have used my big zoom lens on this shot. Over to you eggs.

by **eggs** » Sun 03 Jun, 2018 8:03 pm

Staying in NZ

: Lake Howden on the Routeburn track - adjacent to Howden Hut.

by **eggs** » Wed 06 Jun, 2018 12:52 am

This was our second visit to this spot - first was a day walk from the main road. Second was the last night of a 4 day great walk.
