Sorry to say, for me, it might just as well be on the Moon!  All I can see in it, is the Red Flag hanging above a Thai Sushi Bar, it says nothing else.  I gotta give up unless I happen on something by chance.    Z**

There could be a Cabaret or a  doughnut in the Sushi bar!

Berlin? I know the famous image of that flag being flown over the Reichstag in 1945. But that doesn't look anything like this.So I'm a bit confused. ???

This is the pic of EUGENY KHALDEI the Soviet soldier who hoisted the flag over the Reichstag.

Is it the Karl Marx Alley near the Berlin Wall? That's the only thing I can think of with Pink Floyd.
Dahl I have no idea!

It must be The Berlin Wall, with a hole in it...stuffed by a Giant Peach, just outside Willy Wonka's factory !    L0L

The last soviet flag to fly over the Kremlin is displayed on the wall outside the Checkpoint Charlie museum in Berlin

The machine on the left is probably used to raise and lower the large yellow block which would seem to fit snuggly on the ground level base.  Despite the use of hydraulic power the lifting machine seems rather puny therefore I imagine the block is quite light and possibly made of expanded foam or some such material.   It appears to be a cover for some other machinery, maybe to keep it at a certain temperature.

Other than that I haven't clue what it is or where it may be located, so I'm giving up early on this one, unless of course, by a stroke of luck I get some inspiration!    _))*
