Well, not quite, but pretty damn close. This is Moffett Field and the Ames Research Center, and the big structures are the old blimp and airship hangars.

The large, gray lozenge is the big hangar that long ago held the Akron and the Macon. It's one big building. Directly to the right of the hangar, near the edge of the picture, is a small, white tent. This was the Space Camp here. The big irregular structure occupying most of the lower right is one of NASA's giant wind tunnel structures. the buildings surrounding it are NASA Ames. At the upper right, the large, low square buildings are just one corner of Silicon Valley. The buildings at the far upper left are Lockheed facilities.

I love these kind of shots, and could look at them all day.
