Let’s play a little game.
Post some pictures you’ve taken around town or on your travels, and let’s see if we can figure out where or what they are.
No, not your yard or basement, or a tepui in Venezuela.
Give us a fighting chance of having been there or at least seen it on the Discovery Channel!
Let’s not make it too obvious, either. Cable cars or the Empire State Building make it too easy, but maybe inside the ESB, or a particular museum or attraction.
I’ll start with…
My guess for #1 is “The view from Stone Mountain”.
Here’s one of mine: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/JDrL-_sa7I-Pyz-WSH4FGtMTjNZETYmyPJy0liipFm0?feat=directlink
2 is Cumberland Island in Georgia. My wife went there last year.
Looks like ruins somewhere along the east side of Death Valley, looking towards the west.
Location 4 looks like…
3 looks like Sutro Baths.
Try this one (heh).
Yeah, the Wikipedia page has an almost identical picture: File:Sutro baths pic2.jpeg - Wikipedia
Was that ruined bank building in the movie “Six String Samurai” or am I misremembering?
Angel Falls?
Yeah, I threw that one in there because of the comment about a tepui in Venezuela.
Here’s some pretty tough ones. (Hint: all different continents)
Great Salt Lake.
Yay, one I can answer. That’s Cradle Mountain in Tasmania.
Yup, when I heard that Robert Smithson’s magnificent earthworks reappeared after being submerged for 30 years due to The Great Salt Lake’s level rising, I wanted to check it out. It’s remote as hell, but at least you can check out Golden Spike National Historic Site ( meeting place of the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads ) while you are there.
Good one! I’m not sure if I’d recognize it off the bat, and I’ve been there!
I’m pretty sure it was also in Michael Bay’s The Island.
Namib Desert
#5 looks like a resort on Maui.
