Thought this might be an interesting one...

I get the feeling of Windows and MicroSoft in Redmond, WA...
...curved paths leading to squares with colored umbrellas

Ummm....that's an allegory

wolf · 10-30-2011, 04:58 PM

It's not Microsloth. But you're close.

Geographically.

Well, closer than I am, anyway.

It's not around the corner from you or anything, but it's not on my side of the continent, either.

Google campus in Redmond, WA?

Lamplighter · 10-30-2011, 05:22 PM

I agree, it has something to do with Google.

I was using Google Earth to look over MicroSoft's buildings,
and then thought that Wolf would be devious enough to use Google.

So I went to Google, Kirkland, WA and found this building,
with colored umbrellas and curved paths.

But Wolf's place is not the Kirkland campus... Google somewhere else.

It's Google HQ in Mountain View

We have a winner.

I thought it would be amusing to use a googlemap image of Google. The color of the umbrellas was the giveaway, really ... otherwise I would have posted a shot that focused on the acres upon acres of solar panels on the rooves of the buildings. I thought the streetview was a lot of fun.

Looking at some of UT's assortment, though ... check this ... Google is apparently the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow ...

Could be easy

Turtle Lodge.

It looks like the base from some old Atari game...which one I haven't a clue.

Lamplighter · 10-31-2011, 09:26 AM

Old, palm trees, and water... I'm going to start with Florida, maybe the Dry Tortugas ?

glatt · 10-31-2011, 09:26 AM

Note the shadows cast by palm trees. This place is in the south.
