Glad someone got that, I'd forgotten where it was, looks to be correct though!

I had the image saved from some time previously, and must have rejected it for the one of the two women at the water park instead

taking a hard line on local rivals Nancy there, a piece of graffito which immediately made me assume it was an Anglophone country

it took me 2mn once i saw the tag, cos of fcsm which is french football club fc sochaux montbéliard, the nancy being fucked is fc nancy, so i started looking for football pitches in sochaux
― Jibe, Wednesday, 14 September 2022 12:46 (one year ago) link
sorry the other club is as nancy lorraine, not fc nancy

damnit i googled 'ecsm' and found another french club, Entente Chateauneuf Saint Marcel. well done!

I thought about cropping it so it just had 'Fuck Nancy' and no fcsm but then it was too constrained an image
― Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 14 September 2022 12:57 (one year ago) link
there I was thinking it said “Fuck NanoX”, which would surely also have made sense to someone

cherry blossom, hearing that you thought about cropping out half that tag makes me really curious about how you select the images you post. also thanks for keeping this thread alive, i really enjoy it even though i don't often get the chance to guess.

Purely on a whim.
In this particular case I was on a run this morning and it suddenly hit me that I had no idea where in France Sochaux actually is, or even if that was the name of a city or part of a city
I had a look on streetview when I got in and landed on the graffiti and immediately thought of this thread

Looked like a mural about industrial action/workers rights, found a guy who worked in those colours and the style looked right, he's only got three or four famous works.

I got to it via image search for "portugal mural" and there was a mymodernist link to a healthcare mural by same guy (Vhils)

I think it's Wolverhampton judging by the church, but I'm having trouble replicating that view

how on earth can you even detect that? what computers/phones/other gear do you people all have?

I opened the pic in a separate tab on my PC and zoomed in a bit? No fancy graphics workstation, just a pc

i concur on Wolverhampton. the indoor market building also visible and the relative positions of both suggest the view is from somewhere between the stadium and the university. the forklift might give it away.

isn't Wolverhampton flatter than this? I can't seem to make it work
― StanM, Tuesday, 20 September 2022 18:36 (one year ago) link
Wolverhampton is much flatter. I think the photo is further north than that.
― Portsmouth Bubblejet, Thursday, 22 September 2022 07:05 (one year ago) link
Not anywhere specific, but it gave me Scottish central belt vibes at first too. The low stone wall feels more Northern England though somehow.
It's a slightly bleak but comforting vista.

landscape looks like sheffield. crookes is a good shout. i'm not 100% convinced by the housing, but difficult to see where else it could be. too big for glossop, too hilly for the other cities in that part of the world.

There's two somewhat distinctive looking churches in the first pic. The square tower and smoke-blackened exterior of the one on the left are not uncommon, i haven't found anything that really matches the squat character of the one on the right.

In terms of synchronicity I have just seen this on twitter via a retweet taken in Crookes which only makes me think I was right first time

based on the Bole Hills Aerial Scenic Point (360 aerial photo on google maps) I'm going to guess that Sheffield is slightly flatter than these two pics.
