Big Boulder Baby

Okay, this is just for fun.

Well, I hope you have fun and your head doesn't explode.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Once you figure out what the exact name of this thing is, there are many websites out there that have just about everything you need to answer the questions below. This is an exercise to see how well you can uncover clues. Believe me, there are PLENTY of clues that will help you on the different websites, including OTHER PHOTOS.

Look at this photo and then answer the questions below.

I've given you TWO images to work with. Once you THINK you have the correct name and location, you can use the SECOND image below to confirm you're on track.

Let's see how sleuthful you really are.

Bwahahahahahahah!

I'll take entries until December 12, 2014 midnight ET.

To be eligible to win the prizes, you just have to get the name right and the closest city or town.

Four winners will be drawn at random and win some cool Evolve Shower water controllers.
