But not for Scandinavia.

i have very little confidence that is correct, i just wanted to guess one ... never seen a pic w/o a guess before. after this, i will go back to observing. :)
actually, i did figure out Missoula way upthread w/o any hints or research, etc.

this one is odd because it looks just like this one place in Berlin, but there are several signs that it cannot be Berlin, and my mind simply cannot move on

sort of reminds me of the kind of square that you find in spain or its former colonies but doesn't really scream either spain or latin america to me

Yeah i though seville tbh

it kinda reminds me of some towns in northern CA actually but i don't think i could actually say why
― Doctor Casino, Friday, 29 January 2021 01:12 (three years ago) link
looks like ca to me too but the red-white dashes on the curb seem weird and maybe not u.s. also, what is that, a bus shelter? also looks non u.s. to me but what do i know.
― satanist of size (map), Friday, 29 January 2021 01:14 (three years ago) link
and i think that's an accented a.
It's coastal. That weird green Dr Who type shed and the even sandier than Benelux terrain are screaming it's coastal
― or something, Friday, 29 January 2021 01:15 (three years ago) link
Even sandier than Not-Benelux I should say
― or something, Friday, 29 January 2021 01:18 (three years ago) link
just realized the red-white dashes are scooter / motorcycle parking? us usually does it with lines in the street afaict.
― satanist of size (map), Friday, 29 January 2021 01:21 (three years ago) link
Don't think it's Seville or Southern Europe because people seem to be well wrapped up, despite the fact that there are leaves on most of the trees therefore it's not winter. So it's somewhere with a colder climate I'd say. Plus the little green shelter says cold to me. The 'a' flags should make this easy, but are proving resistant to my google searches. My first impressions are a well to do northern European city - but the "taxi" sign is a bit lo-fi. Trees look quite distinctive too.
― Zelda Zonk, Friday, 29 January 2021 01:23 (three years ago) link
There is a palm tree (queen/king palm common name) on the left, so not too far north.

Bahia Blanca?
― ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 29 January 2021 01:38 (three years ago) link
Can see a couple other palms, looking closer.
― nickn, Friday, 29 January 2021 01:39 (three years ago) link
Yes you're right - this one is confusing! But those trees lining the street are strange - I guess they're like plane trees and have a bit of a latin city feel to me...
― Zelda Zonk, Friday, 29 January 2021 01:42 (three years ago) link
Reminds me a bit of some parts of Mexico City.

I have been to that cityI've seen the banners and I remember thinking "that A is irrelevant to the city name"The only places I've been to that look like that are in IberiaThere is a busker playing guitarIt is Spain, I think it's Madrid

Madrid makes sense - palm trees, and yet could still be coldish in spring
― Zelda Zonk, Friday, 29 January 2021 04:46 (three years ago) link
That shelter looks a little dus
― cherry blossom, Friday, 29 January 2021 08:25 (three years ago) link
I'm not sure the shelter feels right for Madrid but I've never been to Madrid

My first thought was Zurich but also, weirdly, has the feel of Ciutadella on Menorca.

If only we had a list of all the places FGTI had ever gone, this would be much easier.

God, idk. In the deep background there is a storefront that looks very Latin America, or like, El Paso.
Coming to this game after playing Geoguesser every day feels like putting on a straitjacket and sitting in a waiting room (I'm not complaining, just describing)

The green shelter kind of looks like something you'd find in a French park. Only I don't think this France, so I'm extrapolating to Latin countries - but I don't think Italy or Portugal so I reckon northern half of Spain is a good guess. Unless it's some wealthy southern bit of South America, aaaargh!

That streetlight looks very short
― cherry blossom, Friday, 29 January 2021 11:22 (three years ago) link
Almost stunted, so the air could be a little on the dusty side

I think it's Zaragoza
― ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 29 January 2021 11:36 (three years ago) link
I think there's a clue in the trees lining the road (plane trees I think). They've been treated in a particular way - central trunk cut out and branches growing up around the stump. I'm sure I've seen that but not sure where. Not France, again I think Spain.
― Zelda Zonk, Friday, 29 January 2021 11:52 (three years ago) link
Or Portugal?
― Waterloo Subset (Tom D.), Friday, 29 January 2021 11:53 (three years ago) link
Maybe! But the scene all looks a bit tidy for Portugal. Tons of park benches, a council with money.
― Zelda Zonk, Friday, 29 January 2021 11:55 (three years ago) link
Also very flat: if it was Portugal it would have to be in the north, and it's hilly up there
― Zelda Zonk, Friday, 29 January 2021 12:05 (three years ago) link
I do feel like I saw a few trees like that in Seville - likewise the red and white blocks
