Morocco, Atlas Mountains?

Salvatore · « **Reply #1601 on:** 18 January, 2009, 06:00:52 pm »

Not Morocco, but the right continent.

No and no. Both wrong countries, but getting warmer.

Those green thingies in the picture look like Aloe khamiesensis or a similar Aloe species. There is some snow so if it is in Africa, it will be quite high up. The highest concentration of Aloes I have seen is in the south eastern part of Southern Africa.
Southern Drakensberg?
I don't see any particular mountain shapes to name a peak or feature....

Salvatore · « **Reply #1606 on:** 18 January, 2009, 10:21:50 pm »

Not South Africa.

There are 53 countries in Africa, and it isn't Morocco, Tanzania, Uganda or SA.

Edit: The plants are Giant Lobelia.

49 to go then.

Righto!

Kenya

Salvatore · « **Reply #1608 on:** 18 January, 2009, 10:45:27 pm »

Not Kenya.

No

Semien Mountains in Ethiopia?

Regulator · « **Reply #1612 on:** 18 January, 2009, 11:34:10 pm »

Looks a bit like the Ruwenzori Range in Uganda...

Correct.

Edit: One of the wettest and coldest places I've visited.

The road surface doesn't look very good, either.

The only wheeled vehicles we saw in 10 days (on the 'road' through the national park) were:
- 2 tourists on MTBs
- 2 locals on a moped
- a BBC wildlife film crew in a couple of trucks

Mules are much more reliable.

This chap was a deaf mute, but could communicate anything he wanted with signs, gestures and facial expressions, as in the photo.

Right. A difficult one...I hope.

Wild guess - Clifford Bridge?

Nope. I think I made it too difficult. It's an abandoned bridge over one of the tributaries of the Clyst, and it's here.

Craig · « **Reply #1618 on:** 31 January, 2009, 10:12:51 pm »

Here's a new picture. Maybe not quite as obscure as the previous one?

Tourist Tony · « **Reply #1619 on:** 01 February, 2009, 02:49:11 pm »

George St, Embra. Northern Lighthouse Board.

Craig · « **Reply #1620 on:** 01 February, 2009, 09:50:57 pm »

Yes, that's exactly it.

Tourist Tony · « **Reply #1621 on:** 02 February, 2009, 06:32:01 am »

I used to collect light dues from ships.....

αdαmsκι · « **Reply #1622 on:** 02 February, 2009, 09:24:03 am »

Another one for TT to guess....

chris · « **Reply #1623 on:** 02 February, 2009, 09:58:40 am »

Looks a bit like Hen Cloud and the Roaches near Leek.

andrew_s · « **Reply #1624 on:** 02 February, 2009, 02:51:45 pm »

There's nowhere near the Roaches as flat as that.

South Africa ?
