The fact that it isn't hidden behind mountains suggests the vantage point is inside Mordor, so... maybe? Love of money being the root of all evil and all that?pinball1970 said:

Or possibly if they are in Shenzhen, China. There is a theme park there called Window of the World. They have miniatures of many world landmarks. The park is dominated by a scale model of the Eiffel Tower. (I think it is about 1/5 the size of the real one.) There are also many other landmarks reproduced in miniature. For suitable values of "miniature" from table-top diorama up to about 1/3 scale.
Here are just a few.
Possibly the most ironic one is, a miniature of the Great Wall of China. Roughly waist high.
It's sort of a "not great but still pretty good" wall.

Most reptiles make very little, if any, vocal noise. For example, snakes and lizards just hiss and even that only rarely. There are, however, two species of reptile that are capable of loud vocalizations: alligators and congressmen.

According to Rich Hall, alligators can be very litigious, particularly if they think you're wearing boots made out of a relative. It's where we get the word "allegation" from.phinds said:

Who as it that said, "I deny the allegations, and cast aspersions upon the alligators!"

Had to correct my friend . I told him to put a potato in his bathing suit at the beach to help him impress women. But In the front, not in the back, as he did last time.
