Funny thing is that the "Musée Rodin" in Paris was my customer about ten years ago. Got a nice after hours visit and a "behind the scene" tour.

Here's another view.

Sawgrass?

Yes. The iconic hole 17 at TPC Sawgrass. Well done.

glatt 11-07-2011 02:03 PM

I don't think there are a lot of golfers here.

Rhianne 11-07-2011 02:11 PM

I've tramped up and down a thousand courses - work though, not pleasure - I think they're incredibly ugly.

How about this?

So far as I know it's unique.

glatt 11-07-2011 02:17 PM

hint: This was also an IotD.

Spexxvet 11-07-2011 02:23 PM

Glatt, I ran across it looking for your canal doors.:p:

Rhianne 11-07-2011 02:27 PM

Ah, sorry. I took that yesterday - our weather is always like this in November.

Spexxvet 11-07-2011 02:29 PM

Don't be sorry. But now you've given a hint as to general vicinity.

glatt 11-07-2011 02:31 PM

That's so cool that you got to see it! Did you get to watch any boats passing through?

glatt 11-07-2011 02:33 PM

It's the Falkirk Wheel.

I have in the past, it's a regular walk for me. Not yesterday though - if you look you'll see the basin is dry and they seem to be doing some kind of maintenance work.

glatt 11-07-2011 02:49 PM

You drive there to go for a walk, or you live walking distance? That is so cool! I'd be going there all the time.

Rhianne 11-07-2011 03:11 PM

I'm about 15 miles from the wheel itself, other parts of the Union Canal (the top part of the wheel) are closer and the towpath is great for walking on as it's lovely and flat - water doesn't run uphill too well!

glatt 11-07-2011 03:15 PM

towpaths are really nice to walk on. We've got a canal close by too (along the Potomac river) and it's a nice place to walk or ride bikes.

Rhianne 11-07-2011 03:25 PM

The Union, for most part, is in countryside and peaceful - which is what I like - there are stretches that are reasonably easy to get to that seem to be just out of the reach of casual dog walkers and you can do several miles without meeting a soul and just wildlife for company.

So why didn't they make two Yogi Bears ?
Because someone made a Boo Boo.

Please excuse me, these are my senior moments.

And another one from impatient me:

Lamplighter 11-07-2011 11:06 PM

@Clod: Somewhere near Minneapolis, Minnesota... fossilized Pillsbury dough family ;)

ZenGum 11-08-2011 05:06 AM

Lamplighter: Rock Island.

Lamplighter 11-08-2011 07:32 AM

@Z: No, on Rock Island, but maybe that's the answer for Clod's

Clodfobble 11-08-2011 07:36 AM

Not Rock Island here either.

Chicago railroad yard?

Lamplighter 11-08-2011 08:01 AM

@Spex: No on Chicago railroad yard. But you are within 700 miles

glatt 11-08-2011 08:16 AM

Clod: Looks a lot like the mountains around Mount Rushmore in South Dakota.

glatt 11-08-2011 08:18 AM

Ha! I just looked up a picture of Mount Rushmore before the carvings. Pretty sneaky, Sis. You posted an old picture of Mount Rushmore.

So that's a "when is this", too. Double jeopardy.:)

Atlanta?

Lamplighter 11-08-2011 08:37 AM

@Spex: No, on Atlanta. Think big, bigger, biggest.

But it's in color!

Clodfobble 11-08-2011 02:52 PM

Blame Ted Turner for the shameless colorization. ;) Yes, glatt wins it, it's a "before" picture of Mount Rushmore.

I can hear that in my head (here, diagonally)!

This one might be dumb, but where is this? It's kind of a what and where is it...

(Did we miss one being answered, btw?)

Yes, one missed.

Maschen Rangierbahnhof, south of Hamburg, Germany?

(Is googling legal?) :D

glatt 11-10-2011 10:37 AM

Well, it looks like a glacial erratic. And those look like the great plains somewhere.

*starts googling*

Edit: Horse Heaven Hills, South of Kennewick, WA

infinite monkey 11-10-2011 10:39 AM

Yep!

:)

glatt 11-10-2011 10:45 AM

Is there a reason you chose that particular one?

infinite monkey 11-10-2011 10:52 AM

I was reading Lamp's usertitle, and I googled Massoula floods. I saw the pic of the guy on the rock (from here) and thought it was cool.

I like the term 'glacial erratic.' My brother will be proud when I tell him I learned it. (He's heavily involved in geology in his work.)

That's the same picture I found. Page 6 of search results for "glacial erratic."

Where is this?

infinite monkey 11-11-2011 11:07 AM

Oh wow.

Let's narrow it down. Is that an ocean, rather than a big lake?

glatt 11-11-2011 11:23 AM

It's one of the oceans. And I'll give you a bigger hint. From the top of that rock, you can't see any other land, even on a clear day.

infinite monkey 11-11-2011 11:35 AM

Oh poo, on a clear day, you can see FOREVER! Rise and look around you.

I don't know. Is it a Galapagos thing?

glatt 11-11-2011 11:38 AM

Not Galapagos

Spexxvet 11-11-2011 11:53 AM

Mini Gibralter

glatt 11-11-2011 11:54 AM

I think you just made that up, but no.

infinite monkey 11-11-2011 12:04 PM

That flag should be a hint, but I see an all green flag, and it's not listed by flag color in the wiki link I found.

Like someone decided it was their own nation. But what is that structure? It doesn't look like something you'd live in.

HungLikeJesus 11-11-2011 12:07 PM

That's a house Brianna is building for her son.
