    This photo was taken from a spot about two miles cross-country off a dirt road, and it was a spot that I wanted to find. I did a lot of backpacking back in the 70s and was a fan of an author named Colin Fletcher, who was the guru of backpacking in the late 60s and through the 70s and 80s. His first book was The Thousand Mile Summer, about the author's summer-long walk in 1958 the length of California. I still pick it up every two or three years, and have explored several areas that he writes about. He is not very specific about where he was so finding this spot was a challenge. Here is his original photo from the book.

    Is it possibly taken from Brown Peak, or just a little south of there, same range.

    [edit] If I happen to be correct, I don't have the pic I want yet so I will give someone else a go.

    [edit2] I change my guess and say it is from one of the hills in the Ibex Wilderness area. But I can't for the life of me work out which road in the pic nor find that rock outcrop behind the ridge middle right.

    FREE TURN
    I tried to contact Roy yesterday through private threads but have had no response – he is obviously otherwise occupied.
    As the current challenge has gone way past the 48 hour limit a Free Turn now applies.
    Be the first to post a new photo.
    Max.

    It’s good to see an ‘old hand’ on board Hans! We can look forward to some interesting historical locations.
    Several great composers come to mind here – perhaps a view of the south wall?

    Yes, we see the south wall of the church. Cropped out on the left is a statue of a composer who was employed here as cantor with the obligation to compose a cantata for each sunday and feast day of the ecclesiastical year.

    Well, I think that puts us Bach :) in Leipzig, looking at the south side of Thomaskirche.

    Free turn if correct, please. I'm still in the middle of the Hell-on-Earth that is grandchildren minding during school holidays.

    Bach and Thomaskirche in Leipzig are correct.
    Now we have a free turn!

    OK, I'll bite. Nothing fancy, shot from the window of a moving car, but I thought it was pretty unique: Anyone who lives nearby will surely guess it...

    Hi Sean, a pretty unique building it is but, unfortunately, found immediately by Google Lens. As suggested, it does pay to check with GL before posting. Would you like to try a different image?

    _IGP0394-k5x.jpgApologies.

    My photo was taken in 2012 and it appears that the structure depicted has been removed.

    Let's try the following photo which is part of the same installation.

    So sorry; I have been busy these last few days. The spot I posted is in the Mojave National Preserve, in the Mid Hills, a few miles north of Mid Hills Campground, looking northwest into the Ivanpah Valley; the road is Ceder Canyon Road. I thought this was going under your reply to my post, it seems to be out of order.

    I see it now in Google Earth. Things have changed a fair bit. A lot more sand in the distance to the right of the dark range and that small peak right mid distance has lost his pointy top.

    No it's not a paper plant and it's not in Victoria - but it's just across the border, more or less.
