Yes!

Gravdigr 12-23-2011 02:39 PM

Yay me!

I don't have one ready.

Someone else can go.

Austria?

monster 12-23-2011 10:26 PM

nope

ZenGum 12-23-2011 11:17 PM

Stratford-upon-Avon?

TonyE 12-24-2011 07:26 AM

I don't have much time today to search, but unless somebody has built a good replica elsewhere, that is a traditional Tudor manor house. It is most likely somewhere in England.

TonyE 12-24-2011 07:32 AM

I had enough time after all. Searching for "timbered Tudor manor house" led to Bramall Hall near Stockport, England

monster 12-24-2011 08:29 AM

Correct. Where I grew up. Not in the hall, but in the stables with the other serfs :)

TheMercenary 12-24-2011 08:40 AM

Beautiful in the sunlight but kinda dark and creepy in a vampire kind of way.

ZenGum 12-24-2011 06:00 PM

Sunlight? In England. Hmm, I see a problem ...

No, you cannot see a thing...

Has everyone had enough?

Or are you ready for more?

Where is THIS?

The street signs look like Germany. That yellow diamond with the white back ground looks like a priority road. The white sign with the yellow bottom strip looks German too.

glatt 12-30-2011 11:59 AM

I like your thinking. It's not Germany though. There are other places that use similar color schemes on signs.

Griff 12-30-2011 12:09 PM

Yabut, who besides the Germans would need a building size mix master?

footfootfoot 12-30-2011 12:13 PM

The cake capital of the world

GunMaster357 12-30-2011 05:07 PM

I'm pretty sure it is in France but I don't know where.

glatt 12-30-2011 05:12 PM

Not France either.

Seems a lot of places don't want to claim 'cake capital of the world' but 'fruitcake capital of the world' is very popular, per google.

The building looks so much like our power plant building, and a couple manufacturing buildings in town. So I'm guessing it's somewhere in the states.

glatt 12-30-2011 06:22 PM

Not in the USA.

footfootfoot 12-30-2011 08:10 PM

I live a few blocks from the birthplace of "Pie a la Mode"

Gravdigr 12-31-2011 03:32 AM

Spent an hour on it.

Then I cheated.

Never assume.:smack:

glatt 12-31-2011 07:15 AM

An hour! Oh man, I'm sorry.

OK, let me give out a big hint for anyone left playing.

There's tremendous airflow through that contraption on the side of the building.

footfootfoot 12-31-2011 07:54 AM

Do they make ball bearings or marbles there? It looks a little short for a bearing tower (if that's what they are called) and a little too close to the parking lot, but who knows?

glatt 12-31-2011 12:52 PM

No, but now you have me wondering how ball bearings are made.

That big hint helped, I was getting nowhere before that hint. Searching for "vertical wind tunnel" did not help, it just gave lots of hits concerning indoor skydiving, but searching on "vertical brick wind tunnel" led to the TsAGI Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute in Moscow.

glatt 12-31-2011 02:09 PM

Well done!

Sorry, I confused ball bearing manufacture with lead shot, cf

The second link has a very good animated gif that does double duty explaining why the hunter never circles the squirrel.;)

No, it doesn't.

Gravdigr 01-02-2012 02:14 AM

But the hunter does circle the squirrel.

Doesn't he?

footfootfoot 01-02-2012 10:46 AM

no, he does not. He and the squirrel both circle the tree, however.

classicman 01-02-2012 10:49 AM

If the squirrel's circle is smaller and inside the hunter's, then yes he does.

footfootfoot 01-02-2012 10:55 AM

But the squirrel's circle is not inside the hunter's circle in this case. The squirrel is not stationary, he moves with the hunter.

classicman 01-02-2012 11:06 AM

Yet it is, as the squirrel is "fixed" to the tree and the hunter circles the tree.

footfootfoot 01-02-2012 11:59 AM

The squirrel is not fixed to the tree, it is moving around the tree at the same rate as the hunter.

classicman 01-02-2012 01:45 PM

The squirrel is ON the tree. The hunter circles the tree.
Therefore, the hunter circles the squirrel.

glatt 01-02-2012 01:48 PM

Where's Pie when we need her?

Griff 01-02-2012 01:51 PM

mmmmm... squirrel pie, yum yum!

no matter - it is ON the tree and the hunter circles the tree.

Undertoad 01-02-2012 01:54 PM

The hunter completes his circle and the squirrel has been inside it the entire time

The tree is irrelevant

OK, back on topic ... Where is this?

Griff 01-02-2012 02:03 PM

Gray squirrel, multiflora rose, and hemlock? = PA

infinite monkey 01-02-2012 02:04 PM

It's right behind me! Argghhhhhhh

classicman 01-02-2012 02:47 PM

maybe ...
maybe ...

Undertoad 01-02-2012 02:51 PM

is this the ƒucking metal bars of "where is this"...?

classicman 01-02-2012 04:05 PM

UT for the win...

Griff 01-02-2012 04:25 PM

glatt 01-05-2012 08:46 AM

That looks tough.

It's huge. First thought is that it's a church, but if it were a church, it would probably still be in use and would have pews in it. So it must be some sort of government building. It reminds me of Ellis Island, but a quick search shows that it is not.

It looks like a building from the last 150 years. Those are bricks, not stones. (edit: well, maybe they are stone.)

Spexxvet 01-05-2012 08:47 AM

Vaulted ceilings, mosaic floor, looks like brick, above ground, intersection....

Maybe a train station ...

infinite monkey 01-05-2012 08:55 AM

Train station, yes.

Spexxvet 01-05-2012 09:00 AM

Michigan Central Train Station?

infinite monkey 01-05-2012 09:01 AM

No, not Michigan.

wolf 01-05-2012 03:59 PM

Looks a bit like pink granite ... Moscow?

TonyE 01-05-2012 04:36 PM

Buffalo Central?
http://tracktwentynine.blogspot.com/...dern-ruin.html

glatt 01-05-2012 04:41 PM

It sure looks like it.

infinite monkey 01-05-2012 06:15 PM

Tony got it. :)
