The house on the hill is the infamous "Psycho" house and in the foreground is Bates Motel. That beach is Santa Monica beach and that's the Santa Monica Pier in the background.

Elaine, do they let people in that house for tours? Or is it just abandoned?

The house is on the Universal backlot so you can take one of the tram tours up to it. I don't know if they let you in the house because it's not really a "house" but a standing set with a missing back wall.

I think I first came across his work when I was looking for pictures of Yosemite.

Birmingham — the second largest city in England; a rather generic Northern European city, in all honesty (except for the physical appearance of the inhabitants, lol).

The Town Hall:


The Council House:


The Museum:


The Cathedral:



The Former Head Post Office in the French Renaissance style:


New Street:

Here are some pictures of my city.







Linköpings Domkyrka.








A few pics of Stora Torget.








Just a couple of random pics.




Folkungaskolan where I went to High School.




And here's the famous Rökstenen which isn't in my city, but in my region.
