It wasn't until after I made my guess, that I recalled that you were involved with the project. Did you do build boards? Is there one of them in your living room?
I have no idea, but do you know what this (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&om=1&ie=UTF8&z=19&ll=35.201032,139.024472&spn=0.001346,0.002596&t=k) is?
Bonus question: If the dish in the puzzle isn't the dish in my userpic... what's the dish in my userpic? Hint: the userpic keyword (seti) is misleading, and one of my other userpic keywords would be much more appropriate.
This whole entry was brought to mind by the "How Massachusetts Are You" meme, on which I scored 100%; in posting about that (in someone else's LJ) I wanted to use an icon other than my default (which is in Missouri) and that got me thinking about some interesting local objects.
The dish in the user pic is one of the dishes on Millstone Hill in Groton, near the Westford town line. I believe the facility in question is the MIT Haystack Observatory, and it's just across the parking lot from a really nifty Buckminster Fuller dome. If I had to, I could probably venture a fairly accurate guess as to the time period when you took said picture as well.
When I was a child, I have memories of going for walks at Drumlin Farm (owned by the Audubon Society) in Lincoln, and seeing the huge spinning radar dish over the trees at the nearby Nike missile base (http://ed-thelen.org/J-McGrath/NSLINC.HTM). I found it much more interesting than the nature at Drumlin Farm (except for the darkened room with the night flyers).
