Lost 2014 Tour: The Ghost and Mr. Miles

صورة
A residence on Hinano Street served as our second LOST location stop of the day.  The exterior of this house appears in the season 4 episode "Confirmed Dead" at the beginning of a sequence in which Miles Straume visits a grieving woman in Inglewood, California who recently lost her grandson. Miles parks in front of his client's home.  From "Confirmed Dead" Hinano street residence, 2014 Note that the lattice is no longer present in 2014.  I'm not sure if it was added by the LOST production crew or if it was there but the homeowner removed it at some point after the shoot.

The second location near Byodo-In Temple that I was completely oblivious to in 2011 is a small bamboo grove at which Sawyer fashioned a mast for the raft in the season one finale, "Exodus".  In addition to the most excellent sight of shirtless, sweaty Sawyer, we are also treated to an unexpected emotional scene between Jack and James, as Sawyer recounts the night he spoke with Jack's Dad at a bar in Sydney. Sawyer's mast.  (from "Exodus") Bamboo grove near Byodo-In Temple. Jack hands Sawyer a gun.  (from "Exodus") Bamboo grove near Byodo-In Temple Shirt-off Sawyer gives us a peek at this humanity. (from "Exodus") Shirt-on me tries to find a screen match. Bamboo grove, 2014. For some of the outdoor locations it can be difficult to know exactly where the camera was shooting, particularly in shots with vegetation that may have changed in appearance over the intervening years.  But as far as I can tell, the last 2 photos above showcase the ba...
