Guess the Spot: International Edition

[Rockskipper]

No, I was just alerting Ben to it, as I thought he might know where it is.

 

[Rockskipper]

Ben Nevis?

 

[Perry]

Ben Nevis?

That's it! That's why your reference to @Ben kind of threw me

You're up!

 

[Rockskipper]

LOL, that's a funny quinkydink. And Saor Alba, from another of Scots ancestry. Maybe we should have a guess the Scot thread.

OK, here's a photo that's famous, shot by one of the nicest people on the planet and also who's one of us (at least he's originally from SLC, I think, and now lives in Colorado when he has a home) - Jack Brauer - and no cheating by going to his website:

 

[Q-see]

I was there last summer but I'm not going to solve the riddle right now as I have no photo at hand to post.
Maybe later...

 

[Rockskipper]

You're lucky to have been there, it looks like an awesome place.

 

[Q-see]

It is very nice indeed, although it is massively overcrowded.

It's the Plitvice lakes in Croatia.
It was the film location of "The treasure of the silver lakes", a european western movie film, based on the stories of Karl May. I don't know if the Winnetou films and the Karl May novels were popular in the US but they were in Europe.

 

[Rockskipper]

@Q-see You're up! I'm going to have to look up Karl May. You live in an exceptionally beautiful part of the planet.

 

[Q-see]

Oh, I don't live there, it's almost 600 miles away from my place.
Croatia is always worth a visit, Slovenia too.

So let's go somewhere else, where is this?
It's quite a popular place but not in Croatia.

 

[Rockskipper]

Actually, I meant you're lucky to live in Switzerland.

Is it in Poland?

 

[Q-see]

Ah, ok, now I got it. Yes, it's not the worst place.

Not in Poland.
The longitude is similar but is is more to the south.

 

[Q-see]

No idea?
Forget about the longitude I mentioned in my previous post, I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote that. Neither longitude nor latitude is similar, sorry for that mistake.
The latitude is similar to the Plitivce lakes but it is more west.

 

[Rockskipper]

I was checking out the Tatras in Poland some time ago as a friend was there and saw this beautiful river in Slovakia. Is it the Vah?

 

[Q-see]

No, it's almost 1000 miles away.
It's quite close to the mediterranean sea.

 

[Rockskipper]

Lake of Sainte-Croix in France?

 

[Q-see]

Exactly, you're up.

 

[Rockskipper]

I gotta go somewhere international first...be back soon.

@Ben should know this one. Again, not my photo:

 

[Ben]

looks Arrigetch to me. but that doesn't fit well for the category.

 

[Rockskipper]

No, but good guess. I thought you might know it because you guessed it on another guess the spot photo I posted.

 

[Rockskipper]

Here's a clue: this is not in the U.S.

But a lot of U.S. climbers go there, and skiers go there to heli-ski because it's not that far.
