Where is this scene from a nature video located?
This still is located in a youtube video of nature scenes from around the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHACKCNDMW8
25:29 into the video. My wife and I have been trying to figure it out and it has been driving us nuts. Our best guess is somewhere in Utah/Southern CO/Grand Canyon area, but it seems too green.

What approximate location was this photo taken from? likely Washington State USA, possibly elsewhere. circa 1970

Filming location for this scene in One Tree Hill
My thought is that this could be an insert shot, since it looks different from the interior shown right after. Could also be on a lot, but not sure. Tried using overpass turbo to find restaurants within 1km of a water tower in the Wilmington, NC area, but can’t find anything. Any help will be much appreciated!

A photo of my great grandmother. New York or Italy.
I believe this was taken in southern Italy or LeRoy, New York. I believe the statue is either the Lady of the Oak, or St. Joseph with child. She was born in the United States but her father immigrated from Serradifalco, Sicily in the late 30s and a majority of the family remained there. Any help is appreciated thank you!

Christmas Tree Geolocate
The post implies it is in Syria but there are no visible insignias on the militiaman. I have a hunch it might be from Karbala, Iraq (the Governor of Karbala banned Christmas trees last year and there are other photos of Iraqi militiamen kicking them down). Perhaps one of you can solve this.

Where the album cover photo was taken?? Keith Jarret's "My Song" (1978)
Ever since I got my first Keith Jarret album, "My Song," in 1984, I have wondered where the album cover photo was taken. Is it Cypress or Istanbul? Does anyone have any idea? I definitely want to visit the street.

What intersection in Brooklyn NYC was this photo taken
I'm trying to figure out where I took this photo. I looked up every stop along the B32 bus line on Google maps, but for some reason, none of them look like this spot when I go into street view. I took the picture April 22nd 2018
