Okay, Chris, let's see how you do on landmarks other than buildings. Where was this picture taken? You may either name the red hill in the background, or you may describe the location.

Very good! How come you know this place?

I used to live just off of Red Rock Rd on the Nevada side. I've travelled past that area hundreds of times and have hiked to the red rocks to take pictures for a photography class.

Since you have lived there, I am sure you also know Doyle, which is just a short drive away. Thanks for playing!

LOL You're probably right!
Around here (Illinois), they'd probably just "over-restore" the whole place and make it kind of like a "Hollywood-meets-Disneyland" ghost town.

Where is that?

There's several movie set out there. I had to detour when they were filming Joe dirt out there.
The other popular movie building is on 240th.

The gas station at which the pregnant Sarah Connor stops in her Jeep on the way to Mexico at the end of The Terminator is near Lancaster.

Wherever it is on the California Coast I don't know, but it is so beautiful.

I'd rather not live anywhere else.

Since there are no more guesses, here is full disclosure:
I took the picture along the Bolinas Ridge Roadthat winds through the coastal range of Marin above Stinson Beach. The road offers great viewpoints and overlooks along a several miles long stretch of road. The water in the foregound is Bolinas Bay, which was created by and is part of the San Andreas Fault. Excluded from the picture, to the left would be Stinson Beach. The "finger of land" reaching out into the Pacific in the background is the westernmost part of the Point Reyes Peninsula, which is some 7 miles away as the crow flies or an hour by car.
