Hmm, does this help to identify the mountain?

Despite the quirky presentation, I'm surprised this hasn't been guessed. Anyway, this UK mountain has a flat summit cairn.

Correct, micmar22, your turn next.

For those who are puzzled, I have to admit that I was experimenting with AI-generated images. The first one was an image generated in response to the request "Kangaroos around a campfire in front of Ben Nevis". The second one was in response to the request "The summit of Ben Nevis as a stained glass window", and the third was "Bushwalkers at the summit cairn of Ben Nevis".

I wanted to see how convincing the AI images were, and I'm actually quite impressed. If anyone wants to try AI image generation for free you can do so by registering at

PS: The real summit cairn, with bushwalkers on top (me on the left), looks like this in winter.

I was wondering why some of the kangaroos were lacking heads.

I was very confused!

I initially thought this was on Inchconnachan, where wallabies run free in Loch Lomond!
https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/wal ... dy%20Arran.

But it didn't at all fit with how Ben Lomond or other mountains appear from there...so I had thought about further north but couldn't find any other wallaby/kangaroo populations up that way...The stain glass just confused me more!

Yeah I spent some time looking for kangaroo and wallaby populations in the UK as well creeping moses. But it was the profile of Ben Nevis in the stained glass that clenched it.

Mt Rosa?

Monte Rosa is not the right mountain. My mountain is however almost right on the border of the country that Mt Rosa is in.

I think I will have to give that to you eggs. I was sitting on Pollux. The second photo was of Breithorn which we climbed on the same day. Your turn eggs.

Curious - re your 2nd shot - my analysis of my photos was thinking that the snow was on the northern slopes,
but I suspect you may have been on/near the Klein Matterhorn and the snow was on the southern slopes?

Anyway - next one is staying in Europe

I think from memory the photo of Breithorn was looking back at it as we were retuning toward the chairlift.

The town in the valley is quite well known.
We were at the top of a cable car run about to do a walk past a number of lakes.

I can probably work it out but I'll leave it for someone else cause I'm heading out bush in couple of days and maybe off grid.

You have managed to get the answer. This is Myrdal station where the Flåm line branches from the Bergensbanen.

Assuming you're referring to a well documented previous "guest" of this establishment, yes.
This is Alcatraz, these days part of the Golden Gate National Parks around San Francisco.
Fascinating place to visit. All yours.
