    Yeah, that’s not it. Maybe we could set up a “Special Olympics version” of this contest for you?

    I control Obama. He does my bidding. Like a puppet, he says what I tell him to say! Just look at the St Patrick’s day reception of the Irish Prime Minister, I got the the moron to read a speech thanking himself!

    Solution to AIG bonus issue: Pay them in AIG paper, at the inflated value currently booked.

    @2: Careful Lee, that could be considered a put-down for the people in the special Olympics :).

    This is a tough one – the flower pattern almost looks like the NBC peacock. The building is stang – it doesn’t look like abuilding in the US – Europe of SA maybe. But the gardens look British…maybe South Africa, or New Zealand.

    Can’t tell from the trees and plants what the natural vegetaion is like – but it looks rather lush.

    1. trees imply East coast or Europe or some other area with deciduous trees.

    2. The formal gardens and glasshouses or terrarium imply something built well before WW II … an arboretum or formal garden or museum. It could also be a private mansion except that I doubt the glasshouses would be that near to a major street.

    It reminds me some of the grounds of the Schonbrun in Vienna. Terariums like this are also used as aviaries.

    I think I checked the schoenbrunn pretty thoroughly. But, yes, Europe, not only from the gardens & formal buildings, but from the houses across the street. In my opinion.

    It’s a Tibetan sand painting in a Lhasa temple that a Chinese army officer will stomp on tomorrow morning to assert Beijing’s hegemony and demonstrate that traditional Tibetan culture is passe.

    I’m annoyed that I’m obsessed with this photo now. I’ve googled some version of botanical gardens for Canada and Europe trying to find this place.

    There’s a solar panel, so maybe it is in Spain

    SJ, I think the billboard thing is right.

    The leaded glass conservatory, I’ve seen at Indiana University (not this large though) and also at the State Capitol) and in Victoria, BC. This could be in Ottawa or Vancouver, like at Stanley Park, perhaps.

    I was thinking the Duke’s Garden at Kew-but my GoogleGoggles are not working.
    The buildings are modified conservatories with glass celestory.
    The roadway and walls on the other side of the street scream of England, but could be on the continent.
    Flying down to Australia for a minute–sure looks like British Empire-formal gardens, ahem.

    Auckland, Johannesburg, Brisbane, Wellington, Singapore, The red snake motif in the beds……..
