It has to be some sort of art building, probably in the eastern part of the country.

Gus is right, it's an art building. Not in the eastern part of the country.

Bingo.


For others, it is the new addition to the Denver Art Museum by Daniel Libeskind. I've read almost a dozen articles about it in the past two weeks, as there is a lot of critical commentary about it and the surrounding buildings, some of the commentary (especially that by Libeskind himself) positive, and some quite negative. Interesting building in that the jaggedness references the nearby Rocky Mountains... but it is a hell of a place for the curators to figure out how to install art works in. The walls are hardly plumb, kind of like a house of cascading cards.
The surrounding buildings are also being discussed re the pros and cons of how they work with the city..

I will have to pass my turn until I can figure out how to hide my tracks.

I'm just a simple country boy.

Lately, I don't put my photos on photobucket, etc., to post them here, unless they're my personal photos. (I understand why you are being careful.) Most of the folks on this thread don't cheat by pulling up the URL, so I just transfer google images, or images from googled sites. I do feel a little bad about not giving a link source after the fact though.

This second photo of the Denver Art Museum is, by the way, from the NYTimes..

Gus, another thing you can do is open, say, a photobucket account just for a2k transfer.

The one time I won here, I posted a pic from photobucket - Never even thought a person could or would look at the url...

go ahead, Gus - we won't cheat.
