That would be the Guggenheim Museum, in Bilbao, Spain. Gehry was the architect.

You made it too easy with your clue, AB. I don't have the usual sense of accomplishment that figuring out one of the images gives me. :lol:

The island has a land area of 17.177 km² (6.6319 sq mi), and had a population of 1,516 residents as of the 2000 census. ;)

I'm not sure who the wizard who lived there was. The Birdman of Alcatraz?
Actually, it was Sam Bowers, a wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. He spent six years at McNeil back in the 70's. Not to infringe on people's civil liberties or anything, but I think pretty much all members of the KKK should be locked up there, just because they're too retarded to be part of normal society.

Wow, I saw an Umgawa post was the last one in the topic and I figured that my puzzle was long gone.

I'll post more of a clue later if nobody guesses, of course.

There is a double entendre clue in the name of the photo, folks... Didn't think it would go this long with no takers!

My first guess was Versailles, but (though it looks similar in a lot of ways) that wasn't correct.

I'm guessing something from old world Europe, governmental, and not too far south since it looks pretty temperate. Haven't had time to go digging, though.

(...Also looked at the Hague, with the "don't rush to judgement" statement... No dice.)

Yeah, I meant "tropical" when I said south. Was speaking in my northern-hemispheric bias.
