[eggs]

Not Milford - wrong island

[wayno]

dawson falls mt taranaki

[eggs]

Wrong mountain

[wayno]

[eggs]

But that is the correct spot - right next to the road up the mountain.

[wayno]

Senbon Tori?

.....post the next picture of a location somewhere in an A natural landscape (eg in a National Park) somewhere out of Australia..

I'm not having a go at Wayno but do photos have to be of a natural landscape. I have a few photos I could use for this game but they are not in National Parks etc.

I read that as - a location somewhere in an A natural landscape and for example in a national park - the NP qualification is not mandatory. Many natural areas where I bushwalk or visit here are not in NPs, and similar experience overseas. I think significant features integral to a hiking trail etc are OK based on my interpretation of the above. I haven't visited Japan but found this site which suggests to me that this one complies based on the guidelines:

Senbon Torii
"While the primary reason most foreign visitors come to Fushimi Inari Shrine is to explore the mountain trails, the shrine buildings themselves are also attractive and worth a visit."

"At the very back of the shrine's main grounds is the entrance to the torii gate covered hiking trail, which starts with two dense, parallel rows of gates called Senbon Torii ("thousands of torii gates")"

I'm guessing the photos you have are likely also OK (based on my interpretation).

Duplicate post removed

it walks through a park in thick forest, you wouldnt have a clue where it is if i posted a photo of the forest, this is a photo that gives a chance of recognising what is a well known attraction. i've got heaps of photos in parks where you wouldnt have a clue where they were if I posted them, i tend to spend my time in areas few if any aussies would recognise, the idea is to make the area identifiable..

Fushimi Inari is correct

[wayno]

highly recogniseable

Thanks wayno (and johnw for your interpretation of the rules. As I mentioned I was not criticising wayno - just trying to clarify the rules for my own future photo posts.

Another from NZ - Name the waterfall

[wayno]

I loose track of which waterfalls are called what in NZ theres so many of them.
I"m pretty sure i havent been to that one. but it has similartities with other ones... whatever its name is it will probably be difficult to remembe and pronounce because i cant remember the names of most of the ones I've seen

[photohiker]

Hang on, I think I've been to that one!

Have to check my photos...

[MickyB]

For an Aussie it's a bit hard to pronounce. A Kiwi shouldn't have any problems.

Hang on, I think I've been to that one!

There's a good chance you might have been here. Very close to a road and from memory about 100m from the car park.

This one isn't a challenge. In fact it's whucking easy.

[Graham51]

Yes this is Tenaya Lake. It's the starting point of the walk to Clouds Rest.
Your turn, Champ.

abel tasman NP behind The Anchorage probably, last time i saw it there were 80 kayaks in it

[Champion_Munch]

Spot on wayno, over to you

[wayno]

NZ, name the hill or the harbour, if i get an answer for both before checking back, correct hill answer will get it over the harbour, the hill is a harder guess.

[MickyB]

Might be time for a clue Wayno.

[wayno]
