The new Ben Stiller film, the Secret Life of Walter Mitty, has focused new attention on Iceland as a venue for film-making. It’s a surprising country with a wide variety of scenery…but up to now it has mostly played “somewhere else” in the movies. Now it’s the star! MORE
Desert View Watchtower, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
A visit to the Desert View Watchtower on the eastern portion of the Grand Canyon’s South Rim. Constructed in the 1930s, it offers magnificent canyon views and a tie to the Native American history of the Canyon.
Anyone who has traveled to Iceland wouldn’t be surprised by this. It’s a country of amazing rugged beauty, just made for cinema. And with Icelandair, it’s quite easy to do get there now both from North America and Europe.
I suggest people look at some of the scenery in the Golden Circle and South Iceland to understand what I mean by this.
