Back cover is a shot taken nearby to front cover at sunrise

great eyes man but i dont really see how this is

No? How come? What I mean is, its 2 shots of the hills in the same area, the back cover is taken further forward on the left looking at an angle that would intersect the pyramid building on the right if it was there so to speak...

hmm i dunno, unless you know the area well. you mean the hills on left and right of the album cover itself are mirrored? what about the foreground, the building and pylon? well that would be hard to see from a distance but if you're just talking about the hills... theres many hills :/

the only similarities i can see is the left side, the angle is similar but again many hills have slopes!

Well, consider the pic below as being the original pic (I used the reserva file and took out the city scape) then if you were to walk left maybe a few hundred yards of the shot so that the block I've highlighted above is in front of the hills, then the resulting shot might be like the back cover shot, due to parallax.

ok im prety sure the back cover is the exact same place as the front cover but facing the opposite direction
the light in the front cover is not the sun

the only prob with this theory is that on the back cover to the left of the structure, the structure is extended. on the cover the left side drops off.

Describing it got too hard so I did a map view, from this angle the perspective makes the 2 structures appear to merge into 1 when in silhouette.

Just a thought. The front cover could be dawn as the light is colder. The back cover is obviously the warmer sunset and the cd disc is a hot yellow for a midday sun. So its three suns in one as echoed in the end sequence of the RFTD. Each suggest some sort of alignment.

@celadon. I like this idea if it's the brothers' intention. Just how far down does the rabbit hole go?

i get what yer sayin....im just not felling it. the structures have the same DOF on them leading me to believe it is one building.

I recently read Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451", and immediately thought of the TH cover when I read this:

SPOILERS AHOY!




"Montag crushed himself down, squeezing himself small, eyes tight. He blinked once. And in that instant saw the city, instead of the bombs, in the air. They had displaced each other.

For another of those impossible instants the city stood, rebuilt and unrecognizable, taller than it had ever hoped or strived to be, taller than man had built it, erected at last in gouts of shattered concrete and sparkles of torn metal into a mural hung like a reversed avalanche, a million colours, a million oddities, a door where a window should be, a top for a bottom, a side for a back, and then the city rolled over and fell down dead."


This line was interesting as well: "Perhaps, who would ever know? Perhaps the great broadcasting stations with their beams of colour and light and talk and chatter went first into oblivion."

Damn I was coming in here to see if there were any clues or easter eggs hidden in the cover, like if you invert the colors on geogaddi it turns turquoise, but it doesnt look like that to me

The rainbow reveal not good enough for you?
