"Where in North America is this?" Section VII

[Mark Sedenquist]

It sure looks like passengers on a train -- Is that the Dulles airport control tower?

I know I've seen this shape...

It IS the Dulles control tower.

Those ARE reflections of fellow passengers in the window, but we're not on a train.

The gates at Dulles are not connected physically connected to the central terminal, so they have these combination elevator/buses that transport you from point A to point B.

You board at concourse height, they close the doors, the bus squats down to street level, drives you to the terminal, rises up to concourse level, and you exit.

Freakiest darn system I've ever seen.

[Mark Sedenquist]

That does sound like an intense transport system. I don't remember that part when I was there last -- but I was severely tired...

Where are you headed to next?

I could tell you, but that would make the next photo or two (coming tomorrow) too easy to guess...

What is this doing here? And what is the building behind this "car"?

This location is in a reasonable proximity to a well-known Tiki Bar with real mermaids....

[Mark Sedenquist]

The real-life mermaids do their thing year round at the Sip-n-Dip Lounge, (which is less than a mile from the mystery location above), made even more famous by an April, 2003 article in the GQ Magazine...

Given your user id, would that be the Robert Lepage's Moulin à Image?

[Quebec Gen]

Exactly, although I wasn't living in Quebec City when I took those photos. Those shots are from last year, I haven't been to this year's edition yet, I guess I should hurry up, it's ending in 2 weeks or so. Have you seen it?:)

The building was built in 1896 and is constructed of native sandstone blocks....
