Like those trick visual images where you can't see part of them until you look at them in a certain fashion, I missed the staircases in the building on your photo until they suddenly stood out. It would explain the different windows - we're not looking at discrete floors of a building, rather at a large space with staircases. So, I thought the Lithuanian arena fitted the bill. Oh well, back to the drawing board! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick search for "Scottish parliament terracotta baguettes", for example, produces nothing. I'd persuaded myself that it had be somewhere sunny like the Middle East or Australia.

redjambo Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Anyway, I'm exhausted after all that looking at buildings around the world with ceramic sunscreens. Forever more, I will remember this day, 13 November, as "Terracotta Baguette Day". When I close my eyes tonight, I'll probably see hundreds of the feckers.
