There's water in front, that's why the reflection is seen. I'm guessing it's either an entrence - or more likely - inside of a museum. Knowing FP Jones it's probably got a huge aviation collection.

Either a museum or an gallery. But which one... I don't remember any with such yellow walls. Is the 9:01 above the doorway the actual time?

well that or a well polished floor. and the 9:01 1was the thing that made me think this might not be a real place. ofcurse it might just be a modernist thing and not a clock... :whistle:

Well, I'm not sure that's a clock (the first digit would be missing - how would it show 12), but it sure looks like one to me.

The reflection (if you look at it for a second) you'll notice, ends in a wave. So it's not a well polished floor, it's liquid (probably water).

Reflecting Pool!!! That's it! It's the reflecting pool in Oklahoma City (but the gate color should be grey not yellow...).

And HERE it is!

We have a winner! Yes, that's the reflecting pool at the Oklahoma City National Memorial, just a few miles up the road from where I am right now. The gates are gold in color - even more so when the setting sun shines on them, as in the picture.

Knowing me, that's a reasonable deduction, but it's incorrect in this case. There are two gates, at the eastern and western sides of the memorial. The eastern gate has "9:01" on it, while the western gate has "9:03." The attack on the Murrah building took place at 9:02am.

Here's the final score for this round:

Sebatianos: 5
a1s: 4
Havell: 2
BeefontheBone: 1

I now turn Quizmaster duties over to Sebatianos. Take it away, Seb!

Yes, it is.

Now for the tiebreaker between a1s and Beef - What type of a Tapir is it (there are 4 basic varieties).
