Where Is This? - Page 71

Shanghai, China

The building under construction in the foreground has a new twist to it.

glatt · 02-10-2012, 02:29 PM

Not Shanghai. But, like Shanghai, these buildings are mostly new.

Lamplighter · 02-10-2012, 02:44 PM

Yes, I realized I was wrong after the post.
I was going on two buildings of unusual shapes and found this for Shanghai.

Clodfobble · 02-10-2012, 03:31 PM

The architecture reminds me of Dubai.

glatt · 02-10-2012, 03:43 PM

YES!

Dubai it is.

classicman · 02-10-2012, 03:49 PM

Thankfully someone got it.

BigV · 02-13-2012, 03:31 PM

That is some tall cotton, indeed.

infinite monkey · 02-24-2012, 10:01 AM

No, really, where is this? I have no idea.

classicman · 02-24-2012, 02:52 PM

OK ... Jon Rafman is an artist engaged in a long-term project of collecting and curating these images.
He displays them on his blog Nine Eyes of Google Street View and is currently showing a selection in
“Free” at the New Museum in New York City (on view until Jan 23.) The show gathers works that speak
to the incredible abundance of the Internet, while examining the changing relationship between public and private space.
I think there was a PBS special on it, but that's where I keep finding a dead end.

You remember the scene in "Princess Bride" where Fezzik waits to smash Westley with a rock? I think it's somewhere around there.

infinite monkey · 03-01-2012, 09:15 AM

Maybe Greece? I used tin eye and really only got links to sites that were showing the photos in Rafman's Nine Eye collection. I found a couple sites written in Greek.

Nothing to tell me where it is. I wonder if it really exists?

TonyE must not be able to find it either.

glatt · 03-01-2012, 09:38 AM

I looked for a few minutes back when you posted it. I bet it's near this place in NW France. The rocks and ground look very similar. But it's not the same place.

infinite monkey · 03-01-2012, 09:43 AM

Yeah, it's odd. I've found other stone houses, with locations mentioned usually. But even most of these were found off google street view and then researched for authenticity.

I smell a rat. A stone cold rat. :ratsmilie:

It's in The Shire

classicman · 03-01-2012, 10:20 AM

I spent so much time the other day looking for this.
I'm ready to email somebody and ask. grrrr
Damn you IM, you sucked me into it again.
