That photo of Angel Falls, with the low water flow and the extra sunlight (or overexposure) definitely worked hard to make me think it was El Capitan!

I couldn't figure that one out until I enlarged it and saw the waterfall.

Yup, couldn't see the waterfall, thought that was monasteries at the top and couldn't work out why Greece wouldn't work for Meteora.

Yeah, I also thought it was Yosemite Falls at first :)

Updated with a better picture which doesn't look like El Cap at all...

Beautiful. New Zealand was my downfall, the volcano looks a bit generic with no recognizable features.

Ditto. I thought it might be Ojos del Salado in Chile at first and then tried all the Andean countries. Never crossed my mind that it might be NZ.

Double ditto. From now on I'll know that non-descript volcanoes are a symbol for New Zealand.

It's Ngauruhoe in the Tongariro volcanic complex. I think you can see Ruapehu in the background... But it does look a lot like the Andes, I agree.

Andes was my first thought. Tried every South American country before giving up.

As mentioned below, this is a view of "Mount Doom" from the Tongariro Crossing.

If you are a Kiwi, and you haven't done the crossing, maybe you should!

That's the only reason I got this one. I recognized Mount Doom! Spectacular.

I got it, it's very famous. As a kiwi, I have no intention of walking it. It's too exposed, there is no tree cover.

If I remember right, that's Mt. Ngauruhoe as seen from the Tongariro crossing, with Mt. Ruapehu in the background. Climbed Ngauruhoe with a buddy when on that hike about 10 years ago. The whole crossing is an awesome experience, highly recommended!

Mt Ngauruhoe is Mt Doom in the Lord of the Rings films. You see this view when doing the Tongariro Crossing, one of the best day walks in the world. Did it last year, just fantastic.

As a kiwi, instantly recognizable, Mt Ngaruahoe, from on Mt Tongariro, with Mt Ruapehu behind.

I made a few quizzes similar to this one for anyone who enjoys this sort of thing, using pictures I took myself. You can find them all here (the "Countries/Cities/Places My Car Has Been" quizzes)

Only got Norway because I read a book about Norway two weeks ago and that exact picture was in the book. Never would have gotten it otherwise.

Only got New Zealand because I am from there and have done the Tongariro Crossing.

Is the Norway picture a famous building or an architecture type as the identifying aspect? It was the one I did not know and would love to learn something new
