Guess Where I Was When I Took This Photo?

There's a twist to this week's guessing game.

Seems you know Cupertino so well that I have to employ a Photoshop trick to present a true challenge.

For those of you new to the game, I take a photo of some ordinary looking building in the city and challenge you to guess where I was standing when I snapped the photo. My devious goal is to stump all y'all by posting a photo nobody can figure out where I was when I took the photo.

So far my scheming has proven to be nothing more than folly for the keen eyes in the community who take little time to figure out the location. I've even accused some of following me or putting a tracking device on my car.

I've altered this image of one of the ordinary looking buildings in the city because I'm getting tough with ya.

Go ahead, figure out this one! Bwahahahahahaha.

(Oh, and note to Bob M: you asked about the long lens on the camera I use? Take a look at the second photo attached to this article. THAT's my long lens!)

This building is across the street from City Hall, next to the Stew House! Not that hard! (I still have no idea where yesterday's is, but I'm eyeing all the red signs in town!)

lol. i could totally tell where this was from. there's only one building with windows like that--the one on the corner of rodrigues and torre.

Anne, Yeah, I think David & Mariah got it right. My dentist is in that building, 2nd floor. And judging from the other hints in the photo (planter area and diagonal parking) you must have been across the street by the City Hall. But Anne, do I detect a hint of desperation? Really, using Photoshop to try to get something over on your loyal readers?? Hope you are not losing much sleep over trying to outsmart the guessers.

Sounds like that is near my favorite coffee shop (Bitter+Sweet, near Amici's)... Check it out if you haven't been there yet.

Yes, Bob M, that was a move of desperation! This is unbelievable how you all are able to figure out these things. Amazing. But, as I've said before I don't give up easily!!!

you guys are waaay to smart...keep trying to stump these guys, anne!

Steve Lemke: I'm at Bitter+Sweet often. Please look for the Patch logo on the back of my laptop, or on my water bottle, and say hello if you see me there. I'd love to meet you personally.

PS: Ideally, everybody will be able to sign up at the college website. But I have to acknowledgeRead More that some of the language may not be perfectly as clear as we'd like, especially if this is your first enrollment. So, if you need any assistance (or maybe aren't computer-savvy) the very nice Registrar Office people can assist you on 650/574-6165. Just tell them you want to sign up for Summer semester, Real Estate Practice 110 class, Course Reference number 54642 and that you'd like to complete the enrollment today. You'll like the class, and CSM, once we get you in! ALL WELCOME! Thank you!
