A matter of perspective [mildly NSFW]. A series of playful photos I stumbled upon on Flickr today.

Cool. Looks like this person has travelled widely and cheaply.

Some of them are better than others but the one you linked to is pretty good.

What desert or place on earth are these photos superimposed on? Where is this white rocky sand?

Is it White Sands, NM? I've seen this desert before, but can't remember where it's located or the name.

I looked through their photos, they're in southern Argentina in most, if not all of them.

Judging by this flag display, I bet they're in Antarctica. Possibly King George Island, just north of the end of the peninsula, which has some tourism.

The guy has pictures of his girlfriend at Iguazu, the two of them skydiving, taking a 4x4 trip through what's probably the desolation near Tierra del Fuego and Ushuaia ... Man, I need to get a life.

Or it might be Salinas de Bebedero, a famous salt desert. That's hillier, though ...

Oh, those are great! Thanks, D.C.

Thanks stilcho. That's probably ice I'm seeing! Antartica makes sense.

posted by LoriFLA 02 June | 07:56

Antarctica that is.

i call this one 'touching the void'.

My friend did a similar thing on the Salt Flats in Bolivia. Although she ahd no part of the people being shitted out of someone's arse photo.
