It is indeed Charleville-Mézières in France. The famous son I had in mind was the poet Arthur Rimbaud but I can't fault your answer, Dirk. Well done. Over to you.

 

Ken.

[Dirk Van der Herten]

Thank you, Ken.

I almost immediately recognized the place, but I forgot that Rimbaud was born there.

What a huge difference there is between Charleville and the exotic places he visited.

So I feel obliged to post a pic of an obscure location.

The name of the mountain left in the photo, please.

The name of the mountain left in the photo, please.

 

The mountain to the right looks like Mount Blanc?

[Dirk Van der Herten]

It's not Monc Blanc, Adli.

[vertekijker]

Other continent, Dirk? In Asia maybe?

Frans

Yes, Frans, it's in Asia.

[Dirk Van der Herten]

A hint concerning the altitude: the presence of the snow plume is said to provide evidence that the peak of the mountain is close to where jet stream winds blow.

[Michael Geschlecht]

Hello Dirk,

 

The river looks like Nepal.

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

[Dirk Van der Herten]

It is Nepal indeed, Michael.

The river below crosses the entire Himalaya range.

[Michael Geschlecht]

Hello Again Dirk,

 

Annapurna?

 

Best Regards,

 

Michael

[Dirk Van der Herten]

It's not Annapurna, Michael.

But you're very close.

[etibeti]

Does the name start with an M ?

[Dirk Van der Herten]

Does the name start with an M ?

 

There is no M in the name.

Another hint: the peak we're looking for is higher than Manaslu, but lower than Makalu.

Uuhh, there are two options remaining - too difficult!

[Dirk Van der Herten]

If it's too difficult, then it is sufficient to name the location where the path down the mountain joins the river

[doubice]

Due to lack of suitable digital material to post I hesitantly submit Cho Oyu and hope that am mistaken.

 

Best,

 

Jan

[Dirk Van der Herten]

Your hope became fulfilled, Jan.

Hallo,

Look here: Interesting Leica gear

[doubice]

Your hope became fulfilled, Jan.

 

 

Thanks, Dirk - that took a lot of weight off my shoulders. I will tempt fate again and hope that it is not Dhaulagiri.

 

Best,

 

Jan

[Dirk Van der Herten]

This time you stepped right into the abyss, Jan, and you have only yourself to blame.

You can start digging in your old shoebox.
