	Reprise of the rules. The winner of the previous round posts a picture and a question about it. Typically "where. You may not use "tin eye" or similar reverse image look up sites. Please do not use EXIF data from the image to help. (note to posters, please remove EXIF data). This can include titles and location data. Please do not allow 24 hours to pass between clues. Questions deserve an answer (with the exception, of course, of directly asking for the answer). We will have to figure out how to deal with winners that go AWOL. Clues may be text or photographic. Contestants may use text searches to look for images (in particular images.google.com is allowed to be searched via text searches). There is no rule about having visited a place. If you have visited a place (or not) and instantly recognize where the picture is, go for it. If you post a picture of a previously entered place that is easily recognizable as that place, you get to pick a different picture. Please try to choose a picture and question where it is possible someone else will know or be able to research your answer. For example a picture of someone in your family and asking for the name will be just impossible for anyone else to get. PM The winner. ____________

	After so many ornate buildings and structures, why not some place rather corny. What building is associated with this statue? ____________

	I didn't know the place, the thing is that an image search on google for "corn statue" gave the image in the first page =P

	Well, no one is saying anything so here goes a hint: The plants in wich this kind of machine is installed can produce mainly two end products. For one of them Brazil and the US are responsible for more than 87% of the world production, the US having passed Brazil as the #1 producer just in 2010.

	My initial thought was a corrugating press for steel, but I can't imagine that the rollers would need to be this big.

	grass? artifical turf? No. You almost had it before, but now you got cooler. Hint: in the plants that have this machinery, the output energy/input energy ratio is on average 8.3
