Looks like an interesting and remote mountain...……

What are we resting below a little closer to home (NZ)?

Yep we are sitting on the most uncomfortable lunch spot (Tasman Glacier moraine) looking at a big mountain (Mt Cook). Your go eggs

This is in Switzerland - but Zermatt is buried somewhere way over in the distance amongst that white stuff.

I am basically on the edge of the Alps here

Many years ago we went up Rigi Kulm on the cog railway. This is definitely reminiscent but my memory is hazy.

Rigi Kulm looks over the same lake as this one looks over - but opposite side.

Lake Lucerne? In which case could this be going up Mount Pilatus?

Yes - we had already gone up Pilatus and were wandering around up top - the train was our way up and a cable car on the other side took us down.

Like a pair of bookends, we did exactly the same thing on Rigi Kulm, up on the train, wandered around up top then descended via the cable car :)

Can be very quiet here these days. To help narrow it down this is in Hawaii.

Thanks John. Once again I have to admit Google was my friend.
I don't have a lot to choose from on this computer but let's try this one in Asia.

This is much closer but this photo is west of Mera Peak. It is in the Everest region and an early morning walk to see the sunrise. I have posted another picture from this place, looking the other way.
