That’s a Quidditch Pitch from the Harry Potter films
The geese following the ultralight are from Fly Away Home
The chess boards could be from any chess movie, Searching for Bobby Fischer, Queen’s Gambit and Independence Day are all options.
That looks Wayne Enterprises from Batman Begins.
Angie wonders if the let path between the chess boards and wishing well is from Sleeping with the Enemy.
The wishing well could from The Ring.
The power plant reminds me of the Ravenswood Generating Station as seen prominently in Conspiracy Theory and in the foreground of the current default Roku Screen Saver.

Is that the bridge from Coco?

  1. Could the line of lights by the shore up from the tangled lanterns be from Sleeping with the Enemy?
