I was thinking it might be the home where the Burmese opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, is under house arrest. That was just in the news because Hillary visited her. So I looked that up on Google Earth, and it's not it. But when I looked it up, Burma looks really nice! You get the impression that it's a really backwards place from the news, but I guess that's just the government. It's no North Korea.
And the US is building an embassy just down the road from the opposition leader, only half a kilometer away from her house. I read that she lived on a remote island on a lake, but she's actually on a lake shore drive of mansions. Sweet neighborhood. (University Avenue, on the shore of lake Inya in Yangon) |

I thought of Burma Shave and wondered if the name were related to Burma. Well, I'll be, it is.

The site is now derelict, originally built over 70 years ago A close-up of part of the site. Attachment 35704 That should help identify what the site is and should narrow down where. |

I googled famous movie stairs scenes.

Seems like it's an abandoned ww2 artillery emplacement, googling images for that doesn't show anything similar.

It's like a ghetto stonehenge.
Is it ovens for burning folks? |

The graffiti looked a bit asian, and Google Images turned up this ancient fort (model) with similar shape, but it's from the Ming Dynasty. Dagu Paotai or Fort Dagu ? . |

Spexxvett: Very close, it is a type of gun emplacement that has a very specific purpose
Lamplighter: Some more graffiti for you from the site :) Attachment 35707 |
The bunkers arranged in circles look like the place where they store the ammo. There are two spots at the corners of the site where the guns probably sat. The shadows have the sun coming from the right. I'm going to assume the image is in its proper orientation and right is East. That's where the guns would be pointing. Who would point their guns to the East? France would. But I've been doing all sorts of image searched of the Maginot Line, and those fortifications look completely different from these.
I keep hitting dead ends. |
