xp - my first thought was "somewhere in Alberta" too, but it doesn't look tundra-ey enough.

This one's a bit hard, isn't it? I ended up cheating too and even then I had to zoom out about six times on google maps to find out what country it's in

That's what I thought, too, like Shirlington except not enough freeway, or somewhere in western Ffx County.

Some bored googling of "cantilever bridge" and "amusement park" has given me the answer

How to find the original Flickr Photo URL and User from a Static Flickr Image URL/Permalink
From the URL you’ve got take extract the image name (2177060015_258bcfaff9_m.jpg) and split it on the underscore. The first part is the photoID, the second part is the hash/salt and (if there) the third part the size (Full format: photoId_hash_size.jpg).
Now append that photoId to http://flickr.com/photo.gne?id= and *MAGIC* there you have it, the Original Flickr Photo URL (and the user) :)
