This one is a location hunt in the northern half of The Netherlands pretty close to its eastern border.

Well, I spent way too much time trying to locate it. Interesting design. What is it?

i tried a google image search and came up blank. how long do you think it will be until google earth can do that? maybe it needs its own facial recognition software? google earth has so much unrealized potential. it could be our map to everything that is happening on the planet in real time (NOW). we'll need A.I. to track and make sense of it all. my biggest concern going forward is... anthropogenic google earth warming.

It's called Fort Bourtange. The star pattern was a very successful defensive design in use hundreds of years ago. Its coordinates can be found on its Wiki page, but I'm having trouble posting its link. Maybe it works when this reply goes live. en.wikipedia.org

I imagine finding anything instantaneously is somewhere in the offing. Until then, there's some fun to be had hunting things down this way for puzzle lovers. my biggest concern going forward is... anthropogenic google earth warming. Well, sounds like a cause some people could take up. :)

Hadn't seen this post until after I made my guess. gg Hoping to visit and stay at one of those during a dreary PNW winter soon. ;)

A sort of welcome culture shock - PNW winter vs. Arizona Sun 'n Fun. Its geometric design intrigued me enough to make it a puzzle.
