This is the companion puzzle to Bill_i_Am's Fderik, Mauritania puzzle, using Google Earth View image 6362. Check out his amazing selection of satellite image puzzles.

Fderîck or F'dérick (Arabic: افديرك‎) is a town in the north of Mauritania in the Tiris Zemmour Region, near the border with the Western Sahara in a remote area of the Sahara desert. Fderîck was constructed in the late 1950s around the former French Fort Gouraud to exploit the area's iron deposits.

I think this building is in or near Fderik, but I get the sense from the images posted of the area that visitors are never sure of where they are. The most surprising thing about the area is that people actually live there. Pat, I'm ready for Sicily after seeing this region!

Bill, you can get some practice by joining Improv Everywhere's annual January No Pants Subway ride in New York City. You can check out the videos for different years. You should be able to easily spot Andy.

Uh, probably wouldn't go over so well at work, not to mention on the bus getting there. Thanks anyway!

What color shirt are you wearing tomorrow, Andy? I want to be sure I wear the same color. :-D

Ah, now I understand your other comment in Bill's puzzle. Yup, happy coincidence...

I just now noticed that the profile of your above building is similar to the profile of Bill's Mauritania earth view. When I was looking at my completed puzzles, the two stood out like sore thumbs. Cute. :-)

That is grand. It looks like we found our outdoor pizza oven. There doesn't seem to be a chimney, so it'll be smoked pizza. :-)

Fascinating structure! It would be fun to explore in person--preferably in the winter. :-)
