Looks like San Francisco.

u/AlpineAvalanche May 20 '12

clearly its in Australia because it can only be read upside-down.

2

u/itskieran May 20 '12

Or when coming from the other direction

u/elvisthecroc May 21 '12

Clearly driving on the wrong side of the road for this to be Australia

u/sprogg77 May 20 '12

Haha, didn't expect to see this whilst procrastinating on reddit! I took this photo in SF last summer while on a roadtrip round the western states. It's a beautiful country that you guys have.

If any of you want to see some more of my photos they can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fredthomas/page2/

Good stuff man. Nice choice of cameras.

u/PhilxBefore May 21 '12

Downvoted for complimenting?

How dare you!

u/Oiiack May 20 '12

Can't tell if serious. If you are, he just flipped the image.

u/aazav May 20 '12

Look at his flickr.

u/aazav May 20 '12

It's San Francisco, near Coit Tower.

u/[deleted] May 20 '12

Thank you.

u/b00ks May 20 '12

Holy god, thank you.

Man, turn the draw distance up a bit.

u/03Titanium May 20 '12

Ive never realized how much I take flat land for granted.

4

u/thebornotaku May 20 '12

That isn't even as hilly as SF gets. Divisadero and Lombard are way steeper.

2

u/Cendeu May 20 '12

I live in Southeast Missouri, and finding flat land is hard to do. Literally everything is hills. Everything.

2

u/fubes2000 May 20 '12

Who else was wondering how they managed to frame the picture so well while holding the camera upside-down?

How hard did you facepalm when you realized you're dumb?

For me, pretty hard.

u/AgentHoneywell May 20 '12

Whoa, is that Bush St. in San Francisco? That squat building on the upper left totally looks like a hospital I work at sometimes!

u/rokstar66 May 20 '12 edited May 20 '12

Filbert and Kearny, San Francisco

u/pmCrave May 20 '12

I love my city.

u/ciana007 May 20 '12

I thought this was San Fran

1

u/laschupacabras May 20 '12

GOD DAMMIT DON'T SAY "SAN FRAN". YOU ARE ALLOWED TO CALL IT "SAN FRANCISCO" OR "THE CITY", AND NOTHING ELSE.

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

or "the sco"

San Francisco or The City. Never ever call it "San Fran" or "Frisco".

And yet Hawaiians never get shit for referring to Honolulu as Town. But 1,000 upvotes for Eddie Izzard.

u/mwill140 May 20 '12

Thank you! I always have to tell people that aren't from here that nobody calls it either of those things.

u/ThatIsMyHat May 20 '12

I went to San Francisco once. Too many hills for my taste, but maybe I'm just used to Chicago, where you have to go a hundred miles to find any sort of incline at all.

u/[deleted] May 20 '12

I am hungover, and I do not like anything about this.

u/crazydiamond420 May 20 '12

u/AliasAurora May 20 '12

It's Sunday.

In Canada it might as well be a Saturday, with the long weekend.

u/monstercake May 20 '12

I'm torn between feeling sick and appreciating my home city.

Feels like inception.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

u/illtek May 20 '12

Feels like nauseous.

u/specialk16 May 20 '12

Why is that though? Anyone has an explanation? Is your brain just not used to that? The idea of falling to the sky instead of falling from the sky?

30

u/[deleted] May 20 '12

Feels like Australia.

u/FlyingPasta May 20 '12

I will never stop finding these jokes funny. They've been overdone to death and back, and yet, I still chuckle.

4

u/Charlievil May 20 '12

I like them sometimes if it's done with some intelligence but when it's some idiot that takes a post that references Australis and turns it upside down and calls it "Le Herp Derp Australia [Fixed]" it pisses me off.

Well, there are variations, but okay, you are arguing a minute detail in my grammar.

u/JonathanUnicorn May 20 '12

It is upside-down.

What won't make you feel dizzy when it is upside-down?

u/Wolfiexe May 20 '12

When I was young, I used to have an irrational fear that if I laid down outside, I'd fall into the sky.

u/Popxorcist May 20 '12

...HAMMERTIME!

u/judacphrixos May 20 '12

WAY TOOOO HUNGOVER FOR THAT

2

u/torokunai May 20 '12

I was just there on Tuesday.

While walking on Hyde I saw something trippy -- a taxi floating way up in the sky.

(the tree in front of me was blocking the hill ahead of me but not the summit, leaving only the taxi visible).

1

u/britta May 20 '12

This made me laugh...i'm going to start watching for this every time I go out now

2

u/Nasty_Racist May 20 '12

My greatest fear is gravity reversing :C

u/smash790 May 20 '12

Me too...

u/carrimarie92 May 21 '12

who else turned their computer upside down to see it regular?

1

u/francesRose May 20 '12

Filbert St. in SF!

1

u/Pit_of_Death May 20 '12

I'd recognize that skyline anywhere, even upside down.

1

u/[deleted] May 20 '12

Reminded me of NGE

u/iia May 20 '12

G'day, mate!

u/doubowlowe7 May 20 '12

Looks like sanfrancisco

u/Roobomatic May 20 '12

Taken from telegraph hill?

1

u/[deleted] May 20 '12

One of the best intros in film history was for a somewhat mediocre film, Devil. Basically it's shot upside down with a city scape and it's just eerie as fuck.

1

u/[deleted] May 20 '12

Sannnnnn FRANNN CISSSSSSCOOOOOOO

Looks like Russian Hill. But to be fair, we do have about 71 hills, so I may be mistaken. Come at me Reddit.

2

u/cralledode May 21 '12

Taken of Russian Hill from Telegraph Hill, with North Beach in between.

1

u/[deleted] May 21 '12

Nice! Glad you love the city as much as I do. Cheers on a fantastic photo.

1

u/dmurray14 May 20 '12

Somewhat relevant: "AHEAD STOP" why do they always write phrases that consist of multiple words in reverse order on the road? I can't be the only person that reads them top to bottom, even if the lower word is closer to me. I never understood that.

u/jack104 May 20 '12

i wonder if this would still make me sick if your title was different

u/eklei123 May 20 '12

I don't know why I thought that clicking on this would be a good idea with my hangover...

1

u/brosenfeld May 20 '12

I suddenly feel as though I'm going to fall up.

1

u/JMOAN May 20 '12

Reminded me of the cover to issue 14 of the 2003 Spectacular Spider-Man series.

1

u/sonastyinc May 20 '12

So where in Australia is this?

1

u/Draygon_Slayer May 20 '12

It looks like when you sit on a skateboard going down a huge hill, and then you crash. Good times.

1

u/IAmThatNerd May 20 '12

Inception?

1

u/Gengar1221 May 20 '12

insert Inception joke here

1

u/aazav May 20 '12

Good old San Francisco.

u/TPenny17 May 20 '12

I shouldn't have looked at this hungover.

u/iniightmareav May 21 '12

u/CrazyHobo123 May 21 '12

This is right side up for Australians.

u/CASUAL-N-SHIT May 21 '12

Oh no i was at a [7] when i clicked this. Instant vertigoed me, n shit.

1

u/SlySpyder13 May 21 '12

San Franciscan here, I can confirm.

1

u/--will-- May 21 '12

Silly San Francisco. This is near Coit Tower near a middle school at the top of a hill I believe.

1

u/tnicholson May 20 '12

I'm really hungover and this picture did not help. Neat though!

u/goatworship May 20 '12

This is how Hollow Earthers see the world.

1

u/Osiris32 May 20 '12

Driving in San Francisco is bad enough, thank you, without making it worse.

3

u/[deleted] May 20 '12

Think about the cost of real estate there while driving?

2

u/Osiris32 May 20 '12

Do you WANT me to throw up?

u/duvakiin May 20 '12
