A little to the south of The Warner Bros. Studio I posted earlier in the week is Universal City, “Steg” breaks down what you can see:

In this shot you have the theme park and the CityWalk in the foreground. The circular border of trees separates it from the actual film studios and backlot. The backlot extends to the top right where it eventually ends at a tip and then you get Burbank Studios aka Warner Bros.

In the second thumbnail shot you can see fictional street “Wisteria Lane” from TV show “Desperate Housewives” (Thanks Josh!).

The 100-acre Warner Bros. Studios, CA is where hundreds of movies and TV programs have been filmed. In the centre of this shot you can see the famous WB water tower.

Thanks: Fletcher

Devils Tower is a monolith that rises to a height of 1,267 feet and featured prominently in the Steven Spielberg film Close Encounters of the Third Kind (where it was reproduced in mashed potato).

Thanks: xylon, Sally, many others.

Remember the scene at the end of Men in Black where the flying saucer crashes through a huge globe? Well this is it, the Unisphere, in Flushing Meadows Park, NY. Not very interesting at first glance, but check out how cool the shadow is!

Many thanks to Paul for this one. He says:

The Unisphere was the symbol of the 1964/1965 New York World’s Fair. This 12 story high stainless steel model of the earth was designed and fabricated by the United States Steel Corporation and remains on the site at Flushing Meadow Park today.

And Wikipedia says:

It’s the world’s largest global structure, rising 140 feet and weighing 900,000 pounds

Very cool.

Thanks also to Todd W, Yorkie, Andy Baio (Yes, that Andy) and anecho.

The Statue of Liberty and Liberty Island. You can also see the Staten Island ferry going past in the bottom right.
