I don't know, but the leaning one did look like one. And the non-leaning one looked like a Norfolk Island pine, which is a related species in the same area. The NI pines are planted frequently in SoCal, so I guess the Cook might range wide now too, which makes that "clue" (if it is a Cook) not as good for identifying the location.

It's not Kenwyn but pretty close. I know we sometimes guess exact location but I wouldn't expect it here.

Went back to get it, 1.3 miles north of Kenwyn

Heroic. The cook pines were not a clue btw, had not heard of them before.

I just went immediately north of Kenwyn and dropped on a couple of streets till I found one with the same cloudier sky. Similar cloud formation made me think its a north-south street so just kept going north and it arrived after about a mile
Anyway back to Weekend at Cherry's (Obelisk edition)

It's giving me Canaries vibes but is probably far too green for them

the outdoor pool in the first pic makes me think this is somewhere warm-ish.

Weekend at Cherry's (View III)
― cherry blossom, Wednesday, 14 April 2021 11:21 (three years ago) link
The mountains aren’t big enough to be Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy but it has the feel of somewhere in the East of Russia you usually see covered in snow.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Wednesday, 14 April 2021 11:32 (three years ago) link
The snowy peak in the distance looks big enough for kamchatka
― ignore the blue line (or something), Wednesday, 14 April 2021 11:43 (three years ago) link
It actually looks like Elbrus
― ignore the blue line (or something), Wednesday, 14 April 2021 11:45 (three years ago) link
Out and about but a cursory look at the map of the plains north of Mt Elbrus suggests Pyatigorsk might be in the right position, it even has a local hill for the view in pic 3
― ignore the blue line (or something), Wednesday, 14 April 2021 11:53 (three years ago) link
Yeah I can see views of the same three peaks from the outskirts of Pyatigorsk. If not there maybe it could be one of the nearby spa cities.
― nashwan, Wednesday, 14 April 2021 12:11 (three years ago) link
There are about a hundred streetview dots on top of the hill pic 3 was taken from but I can't find the particular one cherry blossom used. Here's another with some freaky disembodied people and a handy viewfinder

Elbrus was a relatively big clue but good work to slot home from there nonetheless
― cherry blossom, Wednesday, 14 April 2021 17:31 (three years ago) link
I wouldn't have got it without Elbrus but it's a pretty distinctive mountain, not many tower above their surroundings like that
― ignore the blue line (or something), Wednesday, 14 April 2021 17:34 (three years ago) link
Oh that's basically Georgia!
A really good one because it's unexpected. If someone had said to me: this is near Izmir,.I would have totally believed them until I saw Mt. Elbrus. I've been to Izmir, highly recommended.

I like the huge dog print you see if you navigate just left in the first link cherry blossom posted there.

I was really close to including the dog in the view, but there wasn't quite enough room to have the dog and the hill in the same view

It's probably not the UK (looks more like France maybe) but if it somehow is the UK then it reminds me a lot of Cheltenham

Isn't that a ridiculously small road for pedestrian traffic lights? I don't know what to make of that (a gigantic amount of pedestrians there?) - also, the poles are blue, which I don't think is the default color everywhere?
― StanM, Thursday, 15 April 2021 17:09 (three years ago) link
Dropped down into a few cities in the south of France and so far the only one where i can find any of those blue pedestrian crossing posts is Montpellier

I thought the flower shop name could be "Aroma" but so far this has lead to nowhere
― Dinsdale, Thursday, 15 April 2021 18:17 (three years ago) link
Looks more like it ends with "-ama" to me, and begins with an "O," but that has also led me nowhere.

love the origin story for viscious (sorry for the tangent)
Reed said it was Andy Warhol who provided fuel for the song. "He said, 'Why don't you write a song called 'Vicious,'" Reed told Rolling Stone in 1989. "And I said, 'What kind of vicious?' 'Oh, you know, vicious like I hit you with a flower.'
