cars driving on the right side of the road.
shadows suggest top of picture is north (if our hemisphere)
weird building some sort of museum? modified lighthouse?
rocky coast on right must be the ocean, beach side is protected side I assume.
no palm trees seen. Is this New England somewhere?
Can't the shadows also mean the top could be south, even if within our hemisphere? Google Earth has a nifty icon in the top right hand corner. And It hasn't been 'shopped. Recheck the driving side. New England used to have several of these, but they are now ruins. This one is indeed a museum.

This one is indeed a museum. oops, yes the windshields help, so they drive on the left, so it must be UK maybe Scotland as it is Northern hemisphere. link to "several" is mysterious - is that the right link?

I was thinking of Icarus's father. Or a guy who shared his name.

I don't know about Daedalus and did not know so many countries drove on the left - see map some of those are Northern Hemisphere, so must be UK, Japan, possibly even India, or maybe is this another obscure (to me as a scientist) James Joyce Irish thing?

Murray Gell-Mann borrowed "three quarks for Muster Mark." Different work. Violating copyright could lead to a very long sentence - either way.

Definitely different work. I was only pointing out that some science types have been fond of Joyce. I couldn't cite stately, plump Buck Mulligan for that.

Apollo has been variously recognized as a god of light and the sun, truth and prophecy, healing, plague, music, poetry, and more
so presumably ??? this has something to do with
sun (recent WITWHH)
or
music (what he is carrying)

Flying a tad low. Fair number of oaks in the background.

Well, lets see, this has been a busy little place. Wagga could be thinking about some brief unpleasantness about 30 years back, involving an inconvenient occupation, disputed claims, a particularly nasty flying fish: who knew Sheffield steel could burn? Thought this did it. Not ready to call it? What do I have to do, invade again?

Thank you Let me guess.....Is this where the Gutenberg Project began....is that round architectural structure a museum where it all started? Hmmm...is the famous museum on Manhattan a Gutenberg.....hmmmm. it may be Gutenheimer. ....been there but can't recall. Okay...I want you all to know I have been working very hard this week so a glass of wine was on the agenda when I got home tonight. What I wrote above about 10 minutes ago I should erase but I won't ....Mainly because I was thinking of the Guggenheim Museum when I wrote the Gutenheim....I have a feeling I should stay off of this thread...although I do have a good WHAT HAPPENED HERE if I can ever figure out how to post it. 10-4...over and out  thank you for listening to me ramble:)
