Where is this?
Original post
Bit of a challenge since we can't go bush. Where is this photo (winner gets to go next).

Hint: the fenceline is the clue

Pass 1611 from Fraser to Mackenzie - Looking at Mt Bonpland. Fraser in front of us, Kay Creek just visible tucking left beyond it. Caples valley stretching down to Wakitipu.

I'm guessing the capital JPG is what stopped it appearing inline. All previous images have been lower case jpg. But then Sim the Hut Builder's picture didn't appear either - I'd put that down to being a new-joined member restriction. Other option is inline pics are broken!
Madpoms got it, and yup, that’s Bonpland as well. Didnt think you’d been up there!
So what am I supposed to do with the ![] that the guide talks about? I’ve tried the URL with and without the !, with and without the [], inside and outside the [], with and without the (). Nothing works!
@yarmoss. No - not been to that pass. But Bonpland and the Caples mouth were instantly recognisable. After that it was just a case of taking a ruler to my office wall and lining the low peak in the foreground up with Bonpland.

@yarmoss. I never read the instructions - - so avoided any confusion.
I just post a URL that ends with '.jpg' into a new line in the message and it shows up as a picture.
Name the hut.

What flippin' hut, they say ...!
Cameron Hut, below Mt Arrowsmith? Although it looks a bit different (much less snow) to how I remember it from August so I might be wrong. The moraine walls are pretty distinct though.
Wow. Didn't expect that one to be that easy! Yes - coming over from South Asburton via the col west of pt1616.
Gonna have to pull out my remote fiordland pics or some random Otago tussock valley next time to slow you lot down!
All yours @supersnipe.
Just like what they say - when you know, you know. Bring on the remote Fiordland pics.
I'm off to rehydrate some DIY dehydrated food - gotta have something to keep you busy during lockdown - mine is perfecting dehy food.

Name the hut in the valley below.
Hmm. Really thrown by the fact my brain says we're looking south based on light and shadow. But I can't make that match anything in Wanaka-Queenstown-Cromwell (where I'm convinced it is). So ignoring my sense of direction an listening instead to the missus who's repeating 'Glendhu Bay' in my ear - I'm going to say above Fern Bern Hut looking north across Glendhu Bay, which would have to make it very early morning.
Exactly right! And a very early morning it was after the sandflies appeared just before first light which made sleeping on the deck a little unpleasant. The swim in Glendhu Bay that morning was unforgettable after such arid central conditions.
Your go @madpom
Righto supersnipe. As requested.

Name the peak I'm standing on.
