No 1. Jeather

#5 – Adam’s Bridge, between Sri Lanka and mainland India (the name of the author, and his probable origin, should have been a hint enough…)
#8 – Cimetière Parisien, Aubervilliers, NE of Paris (the hint is easy for anybody familiar with the main hubs of Paris Métro !). the image has been updated since the creencap, by the way.
