Wow, I love those surf shots ! They are mighty big rollers hitting the shore, you certainly wouldn't want one of those waves to pummel you into those rocks !
I can almost hear them crashing ashore !
Adrenalin rush or what !

If you want a real rush...
Look at the daily or more more-or-less daily shots taken at Mavericks break just up the coast... Here's the link to the current photo gallery. Now, those are some steep chunks of water! It's not an entirely intuitive site for looking at photos, but when that first image loads (see above) click on the image and then you'll see the navigation bars for seeing the other 10-12 photos of this page!

**********Here is the most astounding big wave photos I've ever seen taken in the 2010 contest -- and the field notes from Jay Watson make for a very compelling read as well!

Clue #1: What would fit in those openings?Originally Posted by Mark Sedenquist

Where is this?
What is this?

Some kind of dog house maybe?
... but why two 'doors'? That doesn't provide much protection against the elements. Hmmm. It also looks as if it's just been plonked there - the structure is built on what look like runners and it doesn't seem to sit comfortably on that base area.
I'd guess it's the former home of the dog(s) owned by someone famous. A presidential pooch maybe, or Elvis' hound dog?

This is a hard one Mark. I assume it is a chicken coop... and it is dutch inspired from the gingerbread trim... but I can't seem to locate any information on it. My Google skills have been stumped.
We have achieved a first? Whoa!
Hmmm, neither Google nor Bing Images has a photo of this?
Clue #2: When Megan was a child, she used to squeeze inside this and check it out.
It is a dog house and it did used to sit here permanently -- the current owners put the skid under it to make it easier to maintain. That's actually a concrete base to keep the wood from rotting away.

Clue #3 -- More photo data for your searches
This photo should give you a few more clues as to where this might be...

And usually by the 3rd clue, we provide some geographic positioning clues -- so this location is found in California...
For GLC: "look at the dirt" for Everyone else -- look at the trees....

Found it, although I would not describe that doghouse as "Victorian." as described on the LA Arboretum/Botanic Gardens website. It's the Coach Barn building on said grounds.

Can you imagine Megan in there?
Yes, that's correct -- That larger building is the Coach Barn, where "Lucky Baldwin" kept some of his race horses. But the answer to the puzzle is that it is the dog house next to the coach barn!
here's the entry sign for the park:

And this is a companion building to the "Da Plane, Da Plane" puzzle from the other day!

Where, and what is the relevance of this spot.
