@Aliroz: You just caused me to waste like an hour reading about and admiring pictures of natural arches.
One of the most elusive ones to get good photos of seems to be something called "Tushuk Tash", or "Pierced Rock", and is located in China. See, everyone can get to Landscape Arch in Utah pretty easily, and even for Aloba Arch in Chad, which few people go to, it's still easily photographable.
But Tushuk Tash is not easily photographable. Apparently, it is one of the world's largest arches, but it never quite looks that way.
See, many photographs of the arch look something like this:
That doesn't look particularly impressive. It just looks like a wall of rock with an opening in the middle, at the top of this grassy hill.
Which it is, apparently. However, apparently, said grassy hill apparently stops just before it reaches the arch.
The arch itself, reportedly, stands on top of...well...nothing. A lot of nothing -- let's say, roughly, 1200 feet high by 150 feet wide of nothing. That's because one side of the arch is a grassy hill, while the other side of the arch...probably looks something like this:
...yeah, there's a reason why there's no pictures from that side.
In Part 3, Abdul and Polnareff psyche themselves up before heading into Dio's mansion, carefully and silently testing for traps and ambushes as they go. The moment they sense an enemy is near, Iggy leaps out around the corner and takes down their opponent in a single blow. The text box sums it up like so:
"Name: Kenny G. Stand Power: Illusions. Beaten without a fight."
Well I guess you can do a Google Image Search for each of those arch names. They're not exactly hard to get pictures of -- though there's only one picture that seems to be from the other side of Tushuk Tash. Should be pretty obvious which one.

What confuses me is, like, I didn't bring up England???

Real talk, "flat and featureless" is a pretty apt description of the part of the country where I already live

Well, you live in an area where they know how to do lakes and rivers, as opposed to one where they know how to do canyons/mountains/thatkindofgeologythatidonotknowthenamefor. The rivers over near Ohio are like moving lakes! At its confluence, the Ohio river is bigger than the Mississippi! It just blows me away to think of these massive moving lakes.
I'm closer to the Alps than CA is to Southern Utah, and I don't need a passport to get there either...
actually every time i have been over the channel i have had to show my passport. the UK is not actually part of the schengen agreement despite the free movement of people thing we have as EU members

My gosh, the alps! Mont Blanc and Jungfrau are so beautiful.
The stuff of dreams...
mont blanc is quite nice. when i went camping in chamonix, i had a lovely view of it when i opened my tent in the morning. the aiguille du midi is where it's at though

anyway I am now to bed. Goodnight.

Threadhop but EX-FRICKIN-SCUSE ME?????
England is a beautiful country.
It may not have anything so dramatic as the Grand Canyon, but flat and featureless it most certainly isn't.

I'm still kind of fuming.
^ Avast!
And yeah, plenty of GIS results.
and i guess you got the spoiler before the rest of the pictures lol.
Holy crud, what is that? That's amazing, that drop. The land just... ends, there.
I stand corrected.
america has some spectacular stuff but it is also way bigger, and also it has areas like ten times the size of england where there is nothing but corn
it's also a popular tourist spot and the backdrop for a lot of filming, but yes
^ see that's the other thing: America is huge, England's a tiny little country on a tiny little island. the comparison isn't fair.
Canada was too amazing for me to even consider calling it "flat and featureless". Same awe-inspiring continent.
I love me some cratons and orogens.
(though, it appears that England is anything but flat and featureless.) No, but CA lives in the same nation and is one plane ride away.

I go to Europe so infrequently and I've always had my passport, so it's never been an issue.

I bought it but I couldn't access Steam, which meant I couldn't get most of what's in it. Gonna try again when I get home from uni.
I can't blame them if they choose to, given the way our government treats them, but I don't think it will do anyone much good.
also Knife Play is a dope album
yay
