First to guess the right location gets to post the next picture of a location somewhere in an A natural landscape (eg in a National Park) somewhere out of Australia.. Please to post a picture with a good quality skyline or with heaps of visual clues to allow players to work out where the picture was taken. A fast game is a fun game.

Up until recently these were the rules by which we were playing the Where is It (International) game. I used to think it was a bit of fun and quite enjoyable.

It's gotta be Victoria Falls, which is indeed in Africa.

[eggs]

Yes Ribuck - can't make them too hard

[ribuck]

The landscape looks familiar but I haven't visited this exact spot. Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone?

[commando]

Hmmm... there seems to be a decoy here roca-amarilla is in Utah, looks more like the Movie Set from Clint Eastwood's Pale Rider
which was in Idaho

Yes johnw, you've got it right. It's the Grand Canyon just downstream of Yellowstone Falls.

Hmmm... there seems to be a decoy here roca-amarilla is in Utah

Ah yes ... don't ever take my filenames too seriously. But "roca amarilla" is literally "yellow stone".

[johnw]

I rarely look at file names, but on this occasion it would have confirmed my thinking.
Let's stay on the North American continent:

Bow River at the junction with the Spray River just downstream from Bow Falls, Banff NP, Alberta Canada

Banff, I guess that is the Bow River?

[johnw]

Yes and yes Greg, just downstream from Bow Falls at the junction with the Spray River. Over to you.

[GregG]

Thanks John, I've never been there but it's on my to do list, in fact I wish I was there right now instead of here in Canberra at 32°C. And because I'm away from home I don't have access to my pictures so will someone else take a turn please?

I think that's Powell Hut in the Tararuas.

I think that's Powell Hut in the Tararuas.

a one in 900 chance and you got the right hut... do you do Lotto results as well?

[ribuck]

Thanks Wayno. I lived in Wellington for a few years, so the Tararuas were my main stomping ground.

This one is also in NZ:

Could be Mt Nguaruhoe

[wayno]

Could be Mt Nguaruhoe

depends how picky the OP wants to be...

[GregG]

OK, Mount Ngauruhoe then, geez!

[commando]

Red Crater

[ribuck]

OK, Mount Ngauruhoe then, geez!

The OP does indeed want to be picky, but not because of spelling. Feel free to spell Nuarrahojeie however you wish

The east flank of Mt Ngauruhoe is visible in the left background of the photo. But the main feature of the photo, in front of Ngauruhoe, is Red Crater. So commando has it correct.

[commando]

Thanks Ribuck tricky photo, no red, and no red roof at Powell Hut.
Keeping it in Unzud

Great photo commando (above my pay grade), I've only seen it from down in the valley. Is that you in the shot?
