This is only speculation, but it looks kind of Egyptian to me. Could it be some kind of trophy shot of a temporally and spatially displaced ancient artefact now resident on some other plane or planet, transported there by some insane trilliondollar bankster, not necessarily living on the same planet as the rest of us? Who knows?

Why do you assume it is real, instead of (for one possibility) just Photoshopped?

Not the great pyramid, though. That's more truncated. This shows some unusual patterns, and the texture doesn't look like stones. I'd guess its a photo of some other pyramid,or a small pyramid model covered with carpet. PB /ttiforum/images/graemlins/devil.gif

Darby it is usually a very cold day before I can get the upper hand on your or Rainmain but before you can tell where the reflections are you have to pinpoint where the sun is or at least a general time of day. I betting here you don,t know where the sun is or what time it is. Please set me straight if I am wrong.

What you are saying makes sense for shadows, but I do not think that is necessarily true for reflections.

There were some pictures of similar locations, one of which is shown on the front page of the site which is shown on the front page of a site dedicated to a five year experiment in strangecom. It certainly looks alien.

That would be the St Tropez Plasteeq Lizard Man Tits Manufacturing plant in the nu-Mediterranean Sea, 2144 CE.
Been there many a time, they paid a lot of money to stick that big pointy lizardan tit on that island, there is no reflection or shadow because it is built entirely out of muscle tree waste product as any fule kno

Next location please!

You still can not tell me what time of day it is can you? And, what do you mean it is not true for reflections? I would be most interested in what you have to say on this.

Reactor,
No, but you have not established why this matters for reflections. In fact, it does not, especially when you understand how Rayleigh scattering works. The point is, you made a statement about needing to know the position of the sun or the general time of day to know where the reflections are, yet you did not substantiate that with any facts of physics to support it. You only thought that you had one-upped Darby... sorry.
The optical physics for shadows and reflections are two completely different phenomena. For one thing, reflection depends upon the reflection coefficient between the medium that light is traveling through and the medium it is reflecting off of. The physics of reflections also depends upon refraction. The casting of shadows has nothing to do with any of these optical properties.
The reason why reflections are not sensitive to the position of the sun, especially on earth due to the composition of our atmosphere, relates to how light is scattered by a given propagation medium, and specifically Rayleigh scattering. Because of Rayleigh scattering, the reflections you see on the photo from the palm trees are not dependent upon the position of the sun. And, as you can read in the last link I provided, Rayleigh scattering is also the explanation for that eternal question asked by most kids "why is the sky blue?"

I'm almost certain that picture is a fake. Why,the pyramid looks almost wooden in its construction. As for mad cow burgers, they're alright as long as you have a soda made with mercury contaminated high fructose corn syrup, or at least a sodium fluoridated drink of water with the burger and fries, which of course have to be cooked in the traditional way in hydrogenated vegetable fat. Tasty and nutritious. Those burgers are made from a lot of out of the way bits and pieces you wouldn't think they'd serve up in a pattie.
