Great shot!

Size would help with ID. I know, I forget to measure all the time. . . If you know the plant, it would be possible to measure the size of the spacing between veins in the leaf.
BTW, check this page. They look almost identical.

It IS amazing -

I was noticing how the ones in back stretch away in nearly-straight lines. Very cool!

Looking at the thumbnail, I thought, either bowling alley or milk processing plant.

Neat photo, though I don't know the ID!
