:yess: Nice job, Colby. I figured it was either Hollywood Blvd/Sunset Strip/Sunset Blvd.
BTW, any idea what this "mystery building" is? Looks like it may be a parking garage (under construction). Must be on Hollywood Blvd/Sunset Strip/Sunset Blvd while driving west. :angel:

I'm not entirely sure. It's been awhile since I was up in that area but when I first saw that picture it reminded me an exit off the 101 freeway that takes you to Hollywood Blvd/Highland interestection. I recall seeing a lot of construction going on in that area. there is an exit off the 101 freeway that takes you down Highland Ave which curves before you get to Hollywood Blvd before you make a right onto Hollywood Blvd. I think you exit the 101 freeway at Cahuenga Blvd and that merges with Highland Ave. Then you make right onto Hollywood Blvd where they would pass by the Guiness Museum.
In the pic they are making a left onto another street it appears....and the street they are turning on doesn't appear to me a major street so i'm confused. Could they be turning onto an on ramp for the freeway?

:lol: I'm bored. Just tying up a few loose ends, regarding the "gong". According to this blurb on the web, the Longshan Temple in Taipei has a gong.
Longshan Temple was built in 1738 by Fujianese immigrants as a branch of the original Longshan Temple in Fujian Province. It was started in 1738 and completed in 1740. During 200 years the Mt. Longshan temple has gone through many construction works and renovations. The main entrance opens only during the festive celebrations therefore usually all enter from the temple gate - right side gate. Entering the temple it’s worthy to look at many Buddhists making an obeisance and offering reverently something to sacrifice, while saying the sutra prays to Buddha. In the courtyard just on the left from the palace you can see an incense burner that carries an interesting sculpture - "gruff lifts the temple angle". Both sides of the courtyard there are also a bell tower and a drum tower. Early morning you can hear gong strikes, in the evening beating of a drum and taking sutras are the Buddhist meeting reminder. While arriving to the palace and leaving, you can see on the right wing of the palace very many Buddhas sculptures. Some people say that the numerous gods are gathering to the Mt. Longshan temple for an office meeting. It’s a very pure and good place. So why not come here? Address: 211, Guangzhou St., Wanhua Dist, Taipei City 108, Taiwan R.O.C Public Transport: MRT - Bannan Line - Longshan Temple
