Snake - Answer

Close GE View please!

Clue, if needed, later.

 A different historical view...

interesting: i made a puzzle about the building (the one going west) and did not notice this!?

11 people have found this without a clue, and it's not as if there are many possible keywords. It's obviously very easy.

And yet, I cannot find it. Are you surprised?

I'm bringing this back up because CuriousJM doesn't seem to be here and I really need an answer. I need to know why my keywords have failed me again, and what were the secret keywords that worked on this one! Heeeelp.

I can't tell you the solution, but you just need snake + a word, to get this thing on the second result on GI. And that word is not the first one that comes to mind.. but it makes sense.

A little, maybe. I hadn't searched for it yet. I found it immediately, using two search terms in GI.

Sorry johnluke for late response and my absence from F&G. Every now and then I make a resolve to be more active in F&G but get busy elsewhere and neglect F&G. I need to shore up my will power and be more visible here.

As regards clue to the Snake, ndrqu has already provided it (Thank you ndrqu).

It is easier to find it by ndrqu's clue, however if you want to take up a longer path then I can tell you that I found it while researching for inverted pyramids buildings around the World.

Thanks you for all this.  I am glad to say I finally found it this morning before seeing your clue, on my phone, using snake +  the only keyword I had not used so far (I had used a longer version of the same word, for some reason, and also a synonym for it I thought more appropriate for a park, but I was wrong!). The word I finally used is the same word you cleverly hid in your clue...  Why do I have to make things so complicated?

But the best part is this:  when krenek said in his answer that he had not noticed the building next to it was one he had used in one of his puzzles, I looked at the image again and had a feeling of déjà vu too, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. And just now back on my comp I noticed something that I didn't notice this morning finding the snake on my phone: the snake place is exactly the same place where MY recent puzzle called UP was!!!!   Did I see the snake when I made the "UP" puzzle? If I did, I saw it without seeing it! And those buildings near the snake, they did look familiar! No wonder! 

So here is the UP house with the snake lurking at the back!

Well done JL and thanks for reposting you "UP house". I had missed your earlier post and noticed the UP house when I was looking for the nearby inverted pyramid building. I had kept the UP house for future puzzle. Thanks to you I am saved from an embarrassing situation.

That is fine by me. But I had a feeling of déjà vu, as I said, because of the puzzle I
had made before ("UP"). That is why it looked familiar to me.

johnluke,
the name of the said building is "interesting"
+
the remarkable style is due to an important architect, yep (look at his "List of ... buildings" wiki page)

Well done all.
