    Default "Where in North America?" --- Section IV

    This is the Fourth section of a popular mind puzzle first brought to the membership by member Quebec Gen.

    General Rules of the "Where in North America is this?" Game
    1) Anyone can play -- just follow along and test your mettle about places found in North America.
    2) You'll need to be a registered member of this Forum if you want to contribute your own photographs and/or participate in the discussion for each place.
    3) You will need to have the ownership or usage rights to any photo that you post on this forum, as per the terms & conditions of Federal copyright law. If you post a photo that you do not own the rights to, Forum Management reserves the right to remove it. As a matter of practical use, we would expect that you would be posting only those photos that you or a close family member have taken.
    4) Every photo of a mystery place needs to be unique in some way -- And there should be "visual clues" in the photo to enable us to solve where the mystery location is...

    (Inactive -- you can look, but not enter new posts!)

    Default Interesting angle

    The shot appears to be taken from an elevated position.

    Perhaps from a gondola?

    Not Whistler or Banff but you're close. Not from a Gondola although there is one there.

    Default I believe you have it!

    Looks like the building on the extreme left of this shot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/kylewlane/383168769/

    Evidently most folk shoot the buildings to the right (as viewed) of this one (whatever it is).

    Looks like the shot was taken from the ski lift in front of the building?

    Assuming this is it; how about another interior?

    Where/what is this?
