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".

Ah! hahahahaha!

As long as "tomorrow" doesn't turn into "next year". :biggrin:

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:
