I don't see many commercials - we don't have any TV at all now, just TV/DVD player for watching vids. (I don't miss the commercials really, but guessing or knowing locations is fun.)<br /><br />Are you going to enter the July Accretionary Wedge?Silver Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03131032620978696727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371888302852802442.post-61105646595265357672009-07-05T13:07:03.273-07:002009-07-05T13:07:03.273-07:00Recently, I saw a commercial that looked like the ...Recently, I saw a commercial that looked like the drier parts of the Columbia River, perhaps near Vantage. It's always fun to say: "I know where that is!" when you recognize a filming location.coconinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050625735753145388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371888302852802442.post-86632770007779976262009-07-05T12:59:37.490-07:002009-07-05T12:59:37.490-07:00I used to be able to recognize specific areas in t...I used to be able to recognize specific areas in the Mother Lode country where many westerns have been filmed, now just recognize the general area. Also, sometimes you can see the southern Sierra in films that must be shot either near Randsburg or near Ridgecrest.

Mostly you see the Owens Valley (Alabama Hills), the Malibu coastline (especially the location where the Malibu fault is exposed) and the central coast of California, usually in car commercials. <br /><br />The most recent one I've recognized is a Lexus commercial, that looks to have been filmed in the Santa Ynez valley, perhaps along Foxen Canyon Road. If you see it, you'll recognize the valley oaks and that grassey marine sediment substrate.coconinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12050625735753145388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371888302852802442.post-25926526672376149282009-07-05T12:12:51.107-07:002009-07-05T12:12:51.107-07:00I like this tying of geology to music.
