Anyone know if this is real and where it is?

Never seen one that big, but I have no reason to think that it's not real. I've seen the illusion done a number of times on smaller scale. The solution to the illusion is really simple if you think about the fact that there's only one place that is hidden such that it could actually hide the support/fountain pipes.

Thanks. I'm really wondering if it is 'real' in that it exists somewhere and we can find it in GM/LL and isn't a photoshop of one.
I remember the first time I saw a small one of these at the Florida State fairgrounds back in the 60's (I must have been five or six) and it haunted me for years until I saw another one and poked it with my finger.

A poster in this thread says that it's in Ypres, Belgium, as the "Logo" for the local water company.

Also possibly something of interest at this link, but the site is blocked for me at work.

If if *is* Ypres, we're out of luck. None of the three services we use here have Ypres in high res.

The blocked site has a comment in its comment section that says it is at Aquapark in Tenerife.

Here's Aquapark.
I don't see it on the park map though.

There is one at Aquapark but it is a different one.
Based on this picture the one at aquapark is the white blob in the center of the map.
