I don't know if it's all that faded really, seems pretty lively on Instagram
Didn't expect it to be particularly big, but it's a fair bit smaller than Asheville or Kamloops

Looks like it could be the back of a major city train station. Building on the right looks kind of Middle European. Ashtrays on tables are a bit of a rarity these days, maybe somewhere East European?

the chimneys though... factory in a city?
― StanM, Thursday, 2 September 2021 12:31 (two years ago) link
are those chimneys though? thought it may be a tower of some sort behind, hard to judge the scale.

How did you get to it? Already knew or something else give it away?
I saw the file names you gave the photos and thought it was a red herring
No red herrings! Clues are only ever in the photos!

I've been to Switzerland a couple of times, not to Basel but it felt Swiss and Zelda Zonk mentioning middle European solidified that thought so I got to image searching Swiss cities' railway stations

Shape of the tall doorway on left looks distinctive but not sure how to search for that shape.

Doorway doesn't look French to me, although mountain in the background looks similar to the one outside Marseille. Old man with stick is a real generic Mediterranean old geezer, could be French, Spanish, southern Italian... the other people look like tourists, and Marseille isn't really a tourist town

What ARE those square button type things on the wall? Are they painted on? Either way: why?

(... former wall cemetery and those were name plaques? They're too far apart for that) (nevermind, just thinking out loud and having no idea)

Looks quite a bit like Santa Cruz de Tenerife but I can't find any exact matches with that peak although one is very similar
― ignore the blue line (or something), Sunday, 5 September 2021 23:26 (two years ago) link
Very distinctive decorative touches to the street lights, although I wouldn't know how to search for that. The wall is intriguing, looks like there are modern buildings directly behind it so it's not like it's encircling a cemetery or castle or whatever. And it doesn't quite look like a city wall either.
― Zelda Zonk, Monday, 6 September 2021 00:20 (two years ago) link
Very distinctive street light poles. Also weird to see electrical wires strung light pole to light pole on left side of the picture.
― that's not my post, Monday, 6 September 2021 02:05 (two years ago) link
This should be gettable but I'm not getting it. Best I can come up with is that it feels Mediterranean, but doesn't feel French, my gut feeling is somewhere Spanish
― Zelda Zonk, Monday, 6 September 2021 03:09 (two years ago) link
The black car and the reddish one driving away from the camera are both French (Peugeot 307 and Renault Teepee, around mid-2000s), but of course these cars are popular eveywhere in Europe. The car driving towards the camera is a VW Polo (2010ish), which isn't any help at all.

Those streetlights look suspiciously British, could it be Gibraltar?
― Neil S, Monday, 6 September 2021 16:01 (two years ago) link
I don't think I can find an angle of the rock of Gibraltar that looks like that - guessing no to that one. Santa Cruz (Tenerife) looked better but couldn't find a ridge shaped quite like these pics either.

I was wondering about Melilla or Ceuta, but again can't find an exact counterpart for the mountainous background
