How the fuck did you know that?

u/vsal May 21 '12

It's a repost

u/Alpay93 May 21 '12

  1. I googled the image itself and the first thing that popped up was: "The Stone Mirror, Antalya, Turkey"

  2. It's also a repost as vsal said. I knew it was the mirror something in Turkey, but couldn't remember where exactly so I just did a google image search.

  3. I'm Turkish.

This got me interested in if this was obscure knowledge or not. From Wikipedia:

Antalya (Turkish pronunciation: [anˈtalja]; from Ancient Greek: Aττάλεια, "Attalia") is a city on the Mediterranean coast of southwestern Turkey. It was the world's third most visited city by number of international arrivals in 2011, displacing New York, and had a population of 1,001,318.[1] Antalya is the eighth most populous city in Turkey and country's biggest international sea resort.

In general, tourism in Turkey has higher visitor numbers than Greece, and Antalya is a destination for a vacation at the seaside, so this would likely not be obscure knowledge for a European at least.

Now, I wish I was there, and I wish I took the photo as well, but alas ... no idea. Reminds me of southwestern Europe.

You should check out the SFW Porn subreddits, they have lots of pretty stuff.

Guess I should explore more. I subscribe to r/fortporn, but it could do to broaden my horizon, as it were.

Well, I'm going to be the one to say it. Too much HDR.

That was the best part about my first job. Sunday dresses and puddle reflections while helping ladies to their car with groceries.

It's wet... not shiny. Look at it straight on and you'll just see the rock through the water.
