Well spotted commando but no, I just wanted to delete my answer after receiving no comment from creepng-moses after five days. Either it is a game or it isn't,in this case it is the latter ( note that you can't delete your comment, you have to post some characters so I just put in two dots) Maybe the OP has gone bushwalking or is offline for some reason but looks to me, after no response after seven days now, the game is kaput.

I would interpret the game rules such that the OP has long defaulted on their turn and anyone can post a new image.
Which is disappointing as we don't know the answer, though I suspect eggs is likely correct.

I agree John. Very peculiar to post a picture then disappear, the person may have a genuine reason but if not I am not very happy, that's why I removed my answer. Maybe trolled, it happens.

After posting my answer I found a shot on the web from the same spot in summer.
100% sure of that one now.

Next - in Europe

For an opening bid I'll say somewhere in the Dolomites, if I had access to Google Earth I would go hunting for those tarns.... (anyone?).

Neither spot is correct - but Cameron is not far off
The tarns are named - but the darker black sloped wall at back left is a clue - its not dirt...
The granite skyline should indicate the general area.

This could well be his hut, can't see any reason why not, I think there is a prince on a bridge on a castle moat down there in the valley, you need to squint a bit to see him properly. Just saying :)

Apologies for vanishing after posting a photo recently.
I went on-service in the hospital here the day I posted that and in the ensuing chaos of that week forgot to reply.
No trolling intended.

Well Commando, we have been stuck on top of the Alps for eleven days now on this International Where is it "cliff-hanger" (pun intended), maybe you could throw down a clue or two to help us climb out. So in the meantime I reckon it could be the little wooden hut thingie just near the top of the Bossoms chair lift, theres bound to be one. Or not.

Fascinating - I can just make that out in my photo of the Matterhorn.
Amazing place for a hut

Probably - looks like it gets plenty of traffic.
This one at about 5100m would not be as well known.

Interesting. I believed Margherita hut was the highest in the world at around 4500m.
