A photo of:
Lake Wakatipu, New Zealand
***Home, heading through the mountains to Fiordland*** - I never tire of it. I have worked in incredible and often sacred places around the world, but this is still the journey that excites me the most.

Does it mean that he lives (or lived at that time) in Fiordland? Does it mean "Going home"?

It's just one photo. .
Carol Gullidge Feb 14, 2013:
I doubt it! Normally, "home" on its own, is shorthand for "back home" or "at home" - in the sense of actually being in the place where you live rather than merely feeling at home - , but it doesn't stand for "coming home" or "going home". That would be (something like) "homeward bound", "on the way home", "closer to home", etc, etc, etc
Tina Vonhof (X) Feb 14, 2013:
More context is needed. If this picture comes toward the end a series about a trip, 'Home' could also mean 'going home'.
B D Finch Feb 14, 2013:
KudoZ and glossary Please try to post the term, rather than "sentence", which doesn't contribute to a future glossary entry. Surely, this question could have been headed "Home"?

I do agree that it is rather ambiguous and confusing.

on home territory / at home

this (New Zealand) is the place he considers home

But of course you need to check (Google, with the author...?) that this actually is the case

agree Charles Davis : In his home country, New Zealand, or perhaps his home patch within New Zealand

many thanks Charles! Yes, home patch is nice
agree George Rabel : yes, that's how I read it too. Not necessarily that he's from that particular area of NZ or the place he's describing, but that he has been through it before

He feels at home

I believe the meaning is that he feels so comfortable in that place, he really feels he is at home.

Something similar to what in Spanish would be "en casa".
Peer comment(s):
agree B D Finch : Yes, the best way out, but it could imply that he lives/lived there.

Homeland

I understand here, that he is showing his homeland from the top of the mountain extending accross the mountains till Fioriland.
