@ossobuco,
Ok, try this:

What sort of building is this, in what country? Extra whoop if you get the owner/site.

@Francis,
Right, of course.

It's an estancia of that count near Buenos Aires; that's a mare barn in the photo. I got the idea to post it from one of the photos/magazine clips I saved re animals and architecture and landscape, sort of a painting file. The best photo in the article (probably architectural digest) is of a horse within the incredibly elegant interior. I suppose I could scan it and then reduce it; couldn't find it online. We'll see. I'll put it in my scan pile and then post it when none of us would remember why..

Your turn.
Francis

@Francis,
Lovely! Rather tooo tooooo tidy for my sense of stables, but very elegant just the same.

@ossobuco,
The photo clip I have - torn on the right side, which is too bad as you don't see into the stall there..

It is tropical and it looks Asian - probably somewhere in the south, India or so.

@CalamityJane,
I seem to remember being surprised sometime back when a building or two I thought looked asian in style and surroundings was either in west africa or south america..
I've been multitasking today and not gotten into looking..

@ossobuco,
Well, I think I found something - but I am not sure if it is this building indeed...

This is the Napier Museum in Trivandrum

@CalamityJane,
That's it, isn't it? Sure looks the same.. even the palms trunks' angles are the same.

@ossobuco,
I'm going off to read, but I think you could post a new photo.

@CalamityJane,
It seems that the US government wants to resettle a group of Guantanamo Chinese detainees in those south Pa(lau)cific islands...


Btw, good find for the Napier Museum!

Slightly too much information there, CJ, but good luck with that anyway.

@Old Goat,
Hahaha, Old Goat - you haven't lost your wit Laughing

Francis, you're right of course - Caroline Islands, Palau. Yes, it was quite
time consuming to find the museum - one of the oldest in India and beautiful, but hard to find.

Your turn!
Francis
