Could be Lyttelton

So, Christchurch.

I wasn't sure if it was Kandallah or Newlands looking across to East Harbour, so Wellington.

Yeah I don't think it is Lyttelton/Banks Peninsula, it looks much too populated.

dunedin fits the geography, i couldn't find the castle though

Also the neighbourhood watch signs on the pole look very New Zealand

built single-handedly over a 15 year period in the 50s and 60s!
― ledge, Tuesday, 20 December 2022 12:17 (one year ago) link
well done, I gave up on the castle

good work, was tough to find good views for that one, especially near the castle house itself

what ARE we looking at here - artificial snow ski slope kind of thing?
― StanM, Friday, 23 December 2022 13:16 (one year ago) link
more like the stands of a stadium, no?
― the shaker intro bit the shaker outro in the tail, hard (breastcrawl), Friday, 23 December 2022 13:28 (one year ago) link
I think the top of a ski slope looks right - the left hand side as we look at it has nothing behind it and the right hand side drops away
― Hello I'm shitty gatsworth (aldo), Friday, 23 December 2022 16:24 (one year ago) link
Looks like a solar farm?
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Friday, 23 December 2022 16:26 (one year ago) link
To me it’s a river above the seating of a sports ground, with a railway line between. Looks like Europe maybe?
― assert (matttkkkk), Friday, 23 December 2022 16:46 (one year ago) link
Solar farm is a good call
― Hello I'm shitty gatsworth (aldo), Saturday, 24 December 2022 14:09 (one year ago) link
Yeah I don't think it can be a stadium, the shape is irregular and it's in a steep slopeThe rest of the terrain is pretty flat if you look at the horizon but that "railway" (that I took to be road at first) looks like a funicular ?
― Nabozo, Saturday, 24 December 2022 14:29 (one year ago) link
Only viewing on my phone and not able to have a better look but from memory the big cemetery in Stuttgart is on a hill and has a funicular running behind it.
― Hello I'm shitty gatsworth (aldo), Saturday, 24 December 2022 16:14 (one year ago) link
Not sure it's got any water that close to it though.
― Hello I'm shitty gatsworth (aldo), Saturday, 24 December 2022 16:15 (one year ago) link
i think most of the appearance of a slope and the funny shape of the stadium seating towards the lower right is due to lens distortion. look at the the funny shapes of the trees over there and the blurriness. its possible the image has been cropped toward the right side of the frame which can introduce an apparent tilt.
it also looks like a standard railway, regular sleepers etc and catenary type that is common in germany and france at least. there are no signs of it being a funicular and i wouldn't expect to see a river or lake at the top of a hill.
the biggest clue might be the colour of the stadium seats but idk. could also be an odd or horseshoe shaped stadium which might indicate a particular sport?
― micah, Saturday, 31 December 2022 10:34 (one year ago) link
i'm voting for stadium - curiously the colour pattern isn't completely random, each block has the same pattern.

it's very flat. looks like a suspension bridge in the middle but the towers are very close together.
― ledge, Friday, 6 January 2023 15:36 (one year ago) link
Aren't parts of Germany pretty flat?
― o. nate, Friday, 6 January 2023 22:09 (one year ago) link

the stadium chairs in the first pic do have the colours of the German flag, if that is something we should use as a clue...
― StanM, Saturday, 7 January 2023 00:27 (one year ago) link
There are an awful lot of green domed buildings in Germany - but I can't find this one.
Could this possibly be one of the lakes near Berlin?
― Zelda Zonk, Saturday, 7 January 2023 00:47 (one year ago) link
could be anywhere in Eastern Europe - even parts of Scandinavia maybe. Still no real ideas here :(
― StanM, Saturday, 7 January 2023 13:59 (one year ago) link
can we get a street view
― micah, Wednesday, 11 January 2023 04:48 (one year ago) link
That's certainly a very green city. What are those six white tower structures in the middle ?
― Nabozo, Wednesday, 11 January 2023 08:35 (one year ago) link
my searches for 'radio telescope' didn't turn up anything appropriate

I googled German tram stop and it was very close, then Polish tram stop and they have this blue sign.
― Nabozo, Saturday, 21 January 2023 16:08 (one year ago) link
I googled foetus in heart and it found the right picture but it's a stock illustration.
― ledge, Saturday, 21 January 2023 16:42 (one year ago) link
probably just a matter of finding that "black with green stripe and station name" tram stop enclosure. ive checked a bunch of central/eastern europe cities but havent found it yet, theres too many with trams
― ciderpress, Saturday, 21 January 2023 18:01 (one year ago) link
actually this looks more like a wider gauge "light rail" than a "tram"
― ciderpress, Saturday, 21 January 2023 18:03 (one year ago) link
but maybe they're called the same thing in europe
we’re in Poznań!this is the second view:https://maps.app.goo.gl/w87BHENK876hxt3S6?g_st=icthe six white towers are part of a speedway stadium:https://maps.app.goo.gl/h14BkJvhtC7wHrbo7?g_st=ic

that would be the speedway stadium, I guess - the first one is an athletics/track & field place

oh whoops lol must have checked every other major polish city besides that one
