Well it is obviously the Kengtung Baptist Mission compound. I believe it is found in Burma. (also known as Myanmar) I believe they helped translate some Holy book. (the Young family I mean)
For hundreds or even thousands of years, the Wa people in Burma had told children of their very old belief that one day a ‘white brother’ would bring them a copy of the book about God that they had lost. In the 1880’s, Pu Chan, one of their tribesmen, caused several thousand of his people to stop killing people and worshipping evil spirits. He said the true God would soon send the 'white brother with a copy of the lost book' that their whole tribe had been waiting for. He told them that if the brother learnt that the Wa people were doing evil things, he might not give them the book of the true God.
One morning Pu Chan got ready a Wa pony, and told some of those who believed him to follow the pony. He said that the true God had told him that at last the white brother was near. God would cause the pony to lead them to him. The pony started walking. Surely it would simply stop at the nearest stream. To the disciples’ great surprise, it kept going. On and on it went for about 200 miles over mountain trails and down into the city of Kengtung, then turned into the gate of a missionary’s place and headed straight for a well in the ground. The people following the pony looked all around. No white man. No book. Hearing sounds in the well, they peered in. From the dry well a white face smiled at them. Did he have a book from God? Yes! Before long about 10,000 Wa people had given their lives to Jesus. (87, 102-104)

This image clearly shows that Marcus Young's camera takes very bad pictures. By 2004 he should have had a decent digital.
i would tell but that is cheating
