ABOUT THE PHOTO

This is a multi shot panorama; so click on it to see in high resolution. Its probably not where you think it is ... best of luck!

RULES & HOW TO PLAY

For Where is it Wednesday we would like you to Guess the location of the photo

The closest guess will win the prize, be as specific as you can!
Only one guess per person, per post.
No editing your guess - you have to commit!
All metadata has been stripped from the pictures, so don’t bother looking for the EXIF!
We are not required to tell you what kind of camera was used, or what time of day the photo was taken at, or whether filters were involved (this adds to the mystery and the challenge!)
For this game you have 2 days to guess (Friday 6PM EST / 11PM UTC)
If only one person gets the correct (or closest) answer they will win full prize pool
If multiple people guess correctly (tie for 1st): 60% to first person / 40% divided between the next 5 people
If no one comes up with the correct location, the prize will go either to the closest guess, or (if no one is even close) will be rolled over into next week’s pot.

THE ANSWER : This shot is taken looking back towards Mount Harold (1,126 meters or 3,694 feet) from the Surprise Valley in King William region of the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park in Tasmania, Australia ! The closest was @r00sj3 and @alevaskye who both guessed in Tasmania but not the specific location. As per the rules above @r00sj3 will get 60% of the reward and @alevaskye 40%.
@jarvie backed @r00sj3 so from the 'photostars' and @derekkind backed @alevaskye so they get the bragging rights although I think @jarvie backed it first !

Not the Pico De Europa, running from North Spain into Portugal is it?
I took a motorbike road trip along it's route, and it seemed amazingly long and looked stunning in many places.

Atlas Mountains Morocco I guess

intrepidphotos (75) · 7 years ago

Interesting. Something like 80 % of the worlds phosphate is in the Atlas mountains. Many think Morocco might be the hot spot for the next world war once we hit peak phosphorus and phosphate based fertilizer becomes the key limiting factor to human food production.

Interesting, didn't know about the phosphate occurences in the Atlas mountains.
The phosphate topic reminds me of the history of Nauru, one of the smallest countires on earth. People got rich from mining of Guano, but nowadays the Guano is gone ... and since problems occur.

It is in Tassie; I was expecting you to post the exact same shot in the comments here ;-)

Now that I look closer it does look similar to Cradle Mountain.

intrepidphotos (75) · 7 years ago

Well done ! It was in Tasmania. The rock is dolerite (they call the same rock diabase in the US). @r00sj3 chose somewhere in Tassie first so you get a 2nd place 40% of the prize !

Not at Devils Gullet ! Have you been ? Or was it from some good sleuthing on my website ? It was taken about 100km south near Mount Harold (1,126 meters or 3,694 feet) at the Surprise Valley in the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park in Tasmania ! No one got the actual location so I will take your guess as "Tasmania" so you get 60% of the prize as the fist person to guess somewhere in Tasmania.

r00sj3 (61) · 7 years ago

Sleuthing again my dear ;) Saw that Devils Gullet had similar rock formation so assumed it was going to be close to that one. ;)
