I had no idea when we visited the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park that it was actually the ‘Overlook Hotel’ from Stanley Kubrick’s the Shining! When we walked in I had this overwhelming sense that I had been there before. When we turned a corner and I saw those elevators I almost peed myself!! Note: yes I’m aware that the actual filming was done on a set. That’s why I put ‘Overlook Hotel’ in quotes. Kubrick based the interior shots from this hotel, not the Stanley. The Stanley was what King based his book on.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) Devils Tower – military base. My Photo: 2017 at Devils Tower / Black Hills KOA Journey, 60 WY-110, Devils Tower. My phone broke right before this trip and didn’t have a reference photo with me. Took the bottom photo with my old iPhone 4s from memory and think I nailed the framing.
