"Gravity" ending - spoilers

I don't recall it saying where Sandra Bullock's character touches down. I saw lakes and hills, so my initial thought was Scotland, but I'm sure there are plenty of similar places in the US, Canada, Ireland, Europe, and in many other places.

1. I read a LOT into that

Much as I hated the rest of the movie, I loved the ending. I took it as a generic Wasteland (see T. S. Eliot). I was half expecting what's-his-name to come wandering in.

2. The end credits listed Arizona as a filming location.

Considering the rest of the film was presumably shot indoors at a studio, I would infer that those exterior scenes were in Arizona.

3. HMM

that seemed a bit lush for Arizona, IMHO.

4. Are there green areas around Lake Havasu?

Also wasn't the mud on her hands reddish like much of the dirt in the American southwest?

5. there are some green areas, yes

but, isn't Lake Havasu situated in the mountains? I thought I saw multiple hills of green grass in the movie.

Found it finally - I googled the wrong things before... It was filmed at Lake Powell on the border of Utah & Arizona, but went through significant post-production work to make it look green/lush. So, it's supposed to represent another location.

6. It looked too tropical to be Scotland

I was thinking somewhere in Central/South America or Asia.
