Well south of there.

That was the clue, it's pretty close by. This beach/location shares its name with an inner Hobart suburb.
My first clue will help.

Yes, the beach at Battery Point near Haines, and that pretty much describes the short hike we did in the Chilkat State Park.
I managed to get some great photos of an American bald eagle sitting on a rock here.
Unfortunately he flew off when I got a bit too close. All yours.

Your first clue was vital and Google provided the rest.

I have no access to international images - give me a week or so to find the relevant boxes and albums and get the scanner working and I might be able to post something, so anyone can take over now. :oops:
Thank you

My apologies

I week has gone by, no one has taken the invitation to post, I haven't found any collections of international photos, so will have to post what I do have.

USA and very easy to get things moving again

No guesses so time for a hint, it is a near the town of Idyllwild. Actually this might be a little to obscure. I had the wrong mountain in my mind.
This was the mountain I wanted identified and was thinking it was the same mt as in previous shot. Sorry.

I'm a bit unsure. So, is it the first or second picture that is supposed to be near Idyllwild? Still in California?

You could say it more than helped. It pinned it down to an exact location on google maps!!

A bit like this one
