Where?
Attachment 36520

Lamplighter 01-06-2012 12:15 PM

Wherever it is, I like the way this image shows the edges of the arches
melding smoothly into the bridge footings to form bezier curves.

infinite monkey 01-06-2012 08:55 PM

I'm totally reaching.

It looks like a bridge over to a farm, but the trees somehow seem like hot weather trees.

Is it somewhere in Colombia?

glatt 01-06-2012 09:38 PM

Not Columbia, but it is in the Americas.

The Bridge of Flowers in Shelburne Falls, Massachusetts, is the name given to a former trolley bridge that is now covered in a garden throughout its length.
I started with "four arch concrete bridge", which led me to a postcard with a similar looking bridge in Peru, IN. I then used "concrete bridge Peru, IN", which led to a results page with a postcard of The Bridge of Flowers. Then I wiki'd it.

On August 28, 2011, rain runoff from Hurricane Irene (at that point a tropical storm) flooded the Deerfield River and engulfed the Bridge of Flowers.

infinite monkey 01-07-2012 11:27 AM

Clever, grav. I tried but couldn't find it.

Gravdigr 01-07-2012 11:55 AM

It was that 'in the Americas' bit, I bet.

infinite monkey 01-07-2012 12:07 PM

I spent about twenty minutes trying to figure out how many hemispheres I'd narrrowed it down to. Then I gave up. :lol: I was a little buzzed. ;)

Where oh where?

Spexxvet 01-11-2012 08:33 AM

Looks like a toxic waste site. :greenface

glatt 01-11-2012 08:36 AM

or a little like salt flats, but there's a lot of vegetation, and the flat area is also pretty small.

Spexxvet 01-11-2012 08:51 AM

Do you think it's floating algae on snow or ice covered water, or with a high salt content?

glatt 01-11-2012 08:54 AM

It looks like salt to me. Snow would be up on the hills too.

Pete Zicato 01-11-2012 09:18 AM

Sunny side up valley?

infinite monkey 01-11-2012 09:20 AM

Nope! Though that would be a yummy place to live (sorry if I'm egging you on, but it's a good yolk.)

Lamplighter 01-11-2012 09:36 AM

First wild guess: Burning Man festival (Black Rock City) near Gerlach NV ?

infinite monkey 01-11-2012 09:37 AM

No sir, not NV.

I have to go to a webinar so I'll be back in about an hour and a half!

San Pedro de Atacama, Chile?
Lake Natron in northern Tanzania?

No

infinite monkey 01-11-2012 05:55 PM

I guess I should give some kind of hint. It's in the Americas.

As for searching by characteristic, how would you describe it?

Yessir!

glatt 01-13-2012 07:39 AM

Wow! How did you find it? It looks nothing like the first picture. Well done!

TonyE 01-13-2012 08:03 AM

The colours of the spots indicated minerals other than salt, I found it using a search for minerals salt & lake

I find it between funny and disturbing that that's the only one of these I have recognised. WTF?

Aberdeen US Army Ordinance Museum in Aberdeen, MD?

classicman 01-18-2012 11:17 AM

glatt had he used your pic, I'd have responded

"under the bird" :)

Gravdigr 01-18-2012 11:21 AM

Well done, Glatt!

The round (and most outside exhibits) is still on display at Aberdeen Proving Ground, but, (I think) the building housing the museum has been closed (or repurposed, maybe) and the Museum itself moved...somewhere.

Seriously? No.

Still LL Bean, but in 8 Industrial Parkway - BRUNSWICK, Maine

— A nearly century-old hunting boot is catching on with a younger generation that sees the utilitarian footwear as hip. L.L. Bean’s familiar duck boot with leather uppers and rubber soles — designed for slogging through mud and snow — has become something of a fashion statement owing ...

It's the factory, not the retail store.

Yeah, first I was looking for companies who make duck boots. Then when you said not freeport I thought you meant it was LL Bean but not freeport Maine, or not Maine at all. But the articles kept referring to freeport.

Oh, and I realized too late there was snow in the picture. Florida. :blush:
