ADDED DECEMBER 23: I'm not ready to post the picture or other clues here, but click for a simpler puzzle clue (with those bigger, chunkier pieces).
ADDED DECEMBER 24: Now that David of Come Play With Me has found me (read the Comments for the solution), I have no qualms about posting the picture.

uh... dude, i think your puzzle's broken. i'm going to guess anyway though: the chess house in central park!
I'm sorry if anyone has trouble with the puzzle. It does work...it just doesn't seem to work quickly (or at all) some of the time. As for the guess...it's very imaginative but, alas, it's very incorrect, too.
So that narrows down the choices, doesn't it? Next guess, anyone?
ok, the puzzle works now (and i'm sure always did... i was probably just being a moron), but wtf?!
??????????????
my second and final guess is... f.i.t.!
Don't be hard on yourself, scott. The puzzle is definitely quirky.
As for f.i.t.--you're getting warmer!
I feel like a GPS....
I'd love to take a guess, but another puzzle!?! It's a bit of a deterrent. Maybe in my next life when I plan to have lots of free time! Give us a break, David, show us a pieced together pic, please?
Oh! I just realized that with Scott's guess and some insider information I can probably guess correctly without even having seen the photo! But that would be sort of cheating, so I'll gracefully abstain.
That appears to be Maya Lin's clock sculpture Eclipsed Time in the ceiling of Penn Station. You are beneath it looking up.
Congratulations, David--you're still hot! "Eclipsed Time," by the outstanding sculptor Maya Lin, was installed into the ceiling of an underground passageway at Pennsylvania Station in 1995. Since then, countless commuters have passed under this unusual timepiece, though many of them probably never notice it. In that sense it is one of New York's most "underlooked" works of art. (It might be in need of some maintenance work, too.)
