OK - a clue.

.anth/bpoab might know where it is...

Edinburgh Zoo..

Right city, I'll give you that.

David Martin · « **Reply #326 on:** 13 May, 2008, 08:53:19 am »

Dynamic Earth or the Botanical Gardens.

Nope.

Definitely an institution though.

This one may be a little obscure but have a go! 2 pictures to give substance and context...

Ok, it's time for a shot in the dark to get this going again!

If it's closer than America then I guess it must be Europe. The beautiful blue sky in the pics give the place a 'hot' feel for me, so I'd say somewhere south rather than north. On the other hand, it doesn't look like as arid as I remember southern Spain

I haven't been to Italy or mainland Greece, but it does reminds me of several places I've been to in northern Spain and France, so I'm tempted to say that's the area.

National Museum of Scotland?

Jaded · « **Reply #330 on:** 13 May, 2008, 10:40:44 pm »

Nope.

Now - I've done some Googling to see if I could find reference to it, however I failed. So it is either new or very obscure. Suffice to say that if MSeries lived in Edinburgh, he would have been very close to this panda for a few weeks...

It looks modern, a tower, reminiscent of an Eden Project or similar kind of public building.

No idea - any clues?

mike · « **Reply #342 on:** 16 May, 2008, 12:09:19 pm »

Its in a hotel in Asia, I'm sitting on the 54th floor and looking up (inside the building) to the 87th.

I think this one has just about run its course so I will reveal all....

It is in the Massif Central near the little hamlet of Sylvanes in France, about 140km north of Montpellier. The church was actually built in the Kirov region of Russia, dismantled, transported in pieces to France and then re-assembled there.

My sister lives about 5km away. I took the photos during a walk around the hills while on a visit there.
