This is a bit of a cheat as it's an uninteresting part of something that would be very recognizable if I had zoomed out just a bit.

That wasn't meant as a commentary on your picture. Just that I've been thinking of places, going there, and being annoyed at how boring the view is from straight above.

I was going to have one of the major pit mines, which are horrible blights on the landscape but from above they all look like normal construction sites.

Nope. But the location is on a hill.

Is it cheating to do a little Babelfish and Google hunting from the hint?

ETA: Damn, too slow

I have two guesses. Abbey Road is wrong. Crosswalk from Psycho?

The entrance to the tunnel where Princess Diana died?

Is "La belle dame est morte." a movie quote? When I read it, it immediately felt familiar so that what I was thinking.

Close enough. It's the street above the spot where the accident happened.
