Khumbu Valley?

by **walkabout** » Thu 09 Apr, 2015 9:32 pm

John, it could well be the Khumbu valley - I can't remember, it was so long ago. We were on the way to the Everest hotel from Namche Bazaar.
Over to you....

That would be right - it's the view looking back down the valley, the buildings down the bottom would be the NP entrance gate. So you probably took the easy way up to the Everest View, or you crossed the Syangboche Airstrip on the way back to get that view.

Since you mentioned the Everest View, I cannot resist posting one of my favourite images. Apologies.

See if you can name the peaks...

Ron, you obviously had much clearer weather than we did. Everest was always under cloud when we were there

Thanks walkabout, the yak was a clue. I'd like to visit the region myself eventually.

Liberty Cap - Yellowstone

Correct eggs, it's a very distinctive feature. Hot spring mineral deposits built up continuously for a long time, maybe hundreds of years.

by **eggs** » Sun 12 Apr, 2015 12:02 am

That took a bit of research - since it was not an active geyser.

Back to NZ again:

: On the Port Hills near Christchurch. Lyttleton Harbour is below to the RHS. It is a harbour formed from an old volcanic caldera.

looks like any one of a no of places, its a generic landscape

by **eggs** » Sun 12 Apr, 2015 8:19 am

If you think that, I had better give some clues. The rock is volcanic and I am looking down on the ocean.
PS it is not the first time I have posted this shot on this website.

I believe this may be the Port Hills in the Canterbury district near Christchurch, possibly looking in the vicinity of Lyttleton Harbour somewhere in the fog.

by **eggs** » Sun 12 Apr, 2015 1:38 pm

That's right John. But Lyttleton Harbour was cloud free.

Thanks eggs, I wasn't sure about the overlook.

USA again, I don't have much else unless I can unearth some ancient photos and scan them.
Where am I arriving?

: Ascending to Three-Mile Resthouse on Bright Angel Trail - South Rim, Grand Canyon NP Arizona USA

by **johnw** » Mon 13 Apr, 2015 9:29 am

I still have several miles to climb out, with another respite stop way above me.

by **photohiker** » Mon 13 Apr, 2015 10:52 am

We're in the Grand Canyon?

Could we be on the Kaibab trail?

Not Kaibab, but it is in GC. Looking for the name of this location/building.
There are two clues in my previous post.

by **photohiker** » Mon 13 Apr, 2015 11:20 am

Ok, we are hiking up, so more likely the less steep Bright Angel Trail if we are heading to GC Village on the south side.

The first rest stop is Pipe Creek resthouse? I can't even remember it, but I hiked through there in 1980.

by **photohiker** » Mon 13 Apr, 2015 11:33 am

Scrub that, it's the Three Mile Resthouse on Bright Angel Trail.

The one above you is the Mile and a half resthouse.

All correct Michael, on my way back up from visiting Plateau Point.

by **photohiker** » Mon 13 Apr, 2015 3:48 pm

Thanks johnw. Wouldn't mind going back to the GC, there's a lot to see there.

We're in Western Europe. Where am I and what am I looking at?

by **icefest** » Mon 13 Apr, 2015 6:36 pm

The famous cable cars at one of the Isle's geographic endpoints!

by **photohiker** » Mon 13 Apr, 2015 7:43 pm

It is a cable car, but I'm looking at the destination not the cable car.

I'm on a peninsula and I'm looking at an island.

by **MickyB** » Mon 13 Apr, 2015 9:01 pm

Dursey Island, Beara Peninsula in Ireland??

by **photohiker** » Mon 13 Apr, 2015 9:27 pm

Spot on MickyB. We couldn't use the cable car as it was out of operation but the Beara peninsula was very interesting and I recommend it.

Over to you.

by **MickyB** » Mon 13 Apr, 2015 10:43 pm

Thanks photohiker. I've never been to Ireland but it's a place I'd love to go to.

Anyone can post the next photo.

Yes! That narrows it down to one of seven islands, and one of several hundred mountains...

You are on Tenerife.
