That looks quite a bit like the Coronado Bridge in San Diego, Ca.

It does, and that is it Mr. eagle eye. I even posted a picture that didn't show the long sweeping curves. For some reason Google identified this next picture as an Audi A7 coupe??

When I was a 20 something I loved Coronado more without the bridge. The ferry quit running at 9:00 PM and it was quiet. We could go out in the middle of Orange Blvd. and play catch with a football. Now Coronado is loaded with high rise condo's and the beach is too crowded.

Your up

Just got a PM from @fuzzyfelt .
I took that as a hint, that it's time, for a hint.

hint: Although South Dakota may claim this spot, it is not theirs.
ps. The image is from some video, by some foreigner named "Tom", who metaphorized "life".

I hope this is ok, I think this window frame gives a relatively good view of the clock?

OK, I have a couple of ideas, but I need to find them in my pictures at home. I tried fiddling with a couple of images from the web, but Google image search still zeroed in on them immediately. Give me a day or two...

I didn't find the landmark that I was originally thinking of, but I found a couple of others that passed a quick Google Images test. Here goes with one of them:
