Alright friends, here we are with another satellite challenge to round out the week.  Remember you can click on both images for a closer look.

 Here’s the specific structure, rendered by an unknown designer using Google SketchUp.

So I’m looking for the name of the structure, and the city and country in which it is found.  And, of course, you have to name the change event that transpired there.  :-)

Good luck!

[Update: Megan nailed it.]

Satellite Challenge #9

Ha! You thought I had forgotten, eh?

Well, I had… but now I’ve remembered. Here’s a new satellite challenge for you. This does have to do with change, but not very recent change. Do it to it.

Courtesy of my office mate, Craig, here is a new challenge for you.  Leave your guesses in the comments!

Happy Valentine’s Day

This isn’t a challenge, since I stole it from a Google blog… though you’re certainly welcome to try your hand.  If you check the answer at the Google blog, be a pal and don’t speak up in the comments.  Leave the glory to the diehard Google Earthers.

Anyway, Happy Valentine’s Day from Tropophilia.  Single or involved, lonely or in love, independent or engaged (*cough* TAYLOR *cough*) — have a lovely day, whatever your status.
