Lanzarotte ?
Bonsoir Bernard… non ce n’est pas Lanzarotte
Peut-être l’Etna ?
… ou plutôt le Vésuve (funiculi, funicula …) ?
Mount Lowe?
Non ce n’est ni le Vésuve ni l’Etna
Hi…Martin… no it is not Mount Lowe…
…and also not Echo Mountain (the great incline)?
There was only one cable incline there. The Great Incline, at Echo Mountain, is a part of the railroads which lead to the summit of Mount Lowe.
And I guess further – the area looks like the site of Walnut Grove (Our little farm). The hills in the surrondings of Los Angeles. But to reduce the possibilities I will just ask: USA?
USA ?…. yes
I give it a try: Manitou Incline, Pikes Peak Region, Colorado
Hello Martin…
Good answer…. it is Mount Morrison Incline (1909-1914) at Morrison, near Red Rocks, Colorado (USA)….
(it is not Castle Rock Incline at Golden)
Here is a photo of Red Rocks with Mount Morrison and its incline before 1920.
Today the incline has completely disapeared but the scar is still visible with an aerial view.
I know that the Denver Public Library has an incredible online archive, so I tried searching for Mount Morrison Incline and came up with the following link to a magazine article with a photo of a car on the incline:
Hi Don….
Thank you for your comment and for the link to this document.
Good photo of a Mount Morrison car…. the car is similar to the other cars of the other inclines in the area (Golden and Manitou inclines).

Hello Pierre…. no this is not Manitou Incline
Hello Michel,
this quiz is a brain-cracker….
Mount Morrison Incline?
The rock formations at the bottom look like Red-Rock Amphitheater in Colorado.
But it is not die funicular in Golden – as the Formations on top of the hill arent very characteristic.
But baybe it really the funicular, that can be partly seen here http://pinecam.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=107&t=164893 ond picture http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg324/abnerwiggerman/Funicular2_zpscda7bb6d.jpg in the background?

Has anyone hiked up that old incline?
