google search: trees i don't what kind + smallish river + rolling hills + bland low buildings

Granny Dainger, Monday, 13 October 2008 14:11 (fifteen years ago) link

haha, yeah, that's spoiled my research fun.

#3 url gives it away though

#3 is not very easy for Europeans

gabbneb, Monday, 13 October 2008 14:14 (fifteen years ago) link

I'm guessing somewhere in the north east of the US - Massachussets or somesuch? Might be way off though. Any clues?

ailsa, Monday, 13 October 2008 14:37 (fifteen years ago) link

This is based on trees and scenery looking like it would be somewhere geographically similar to Northern Europe, but that one building and the grid layout of the roads looking American. Am I on the right lines?

ailsa, Monday, 13 October 2008 14:39 (fifteen years ago) link

I was thinking upstate NY.

Granny Dainger, Monday, 13 October 2008 14:40 (fifteen years ago) link

Damn I thought it was Legoland...

snoball, Monday, 13 October 2008 14:40 (fifteen years ago) link

If it had a highway cutting through it it would look like Concord, NH.

Vegas

Ant Attack |=| (Ste), Monday, 13 October 2008 14:47 (fifteen years ago) link

it's about the size of Pittsfield, MA

gabbneb, Monday, 13 October 2008 14:48 (fifteen years ago) link

or Casper, WY (which it isn't)

gabbneb, Monday, 13 October 2008 14:50 (fifteen years ago) link

i cant even tell what country that is. the pointy orange thing and two church steeples make me think europe somewhere but that bridge and some of those apartment buildings seem america? wait. is that an amusement park?

Legoland

gabbneb, Monday, 13 October 2008 15:23 (fifteen years ago) link

I'd say somewhere in asia, maybe india. Chennai?

Jibe, Monday, 13 October 2008 15:24 (fifteen years ago) link

that looks oriental to me.

Dead Cat Bounce (Ed), Monday, 13 October 2008 15:24 (fifteen years ago) link

bangkok

lil yawne (harbl), Monday, 13 October 2008 15:34 (fifteen years ago) link

For such a densely packed in place, it looks a bit Day Of The Triffids. No one in the park, no cars visible on the street. Can't see what the sign says, but it looks more likely to be in Roman script, not Japanese or Chinese.

Not New World, somehow not European-looking, I'd guess India, although that doesn't quite seem right either.

xpost yes maybe Bangkok

Zelda Zonk, Monday, 13 October 2008 15:37 (fifteen years ago) link

its not bangkok

joseph sixpack (ice crӕm), Monday, 13 October 2008 15:41 (fifteen years ago) link

Hanoi?

Ismael Klata, Monday, 13 October 2008 15:43 (fifteen years ago) link

No, Saigon

joseph sixpack (ice crӕm), Monday, 13 October 2008 15:47 (fifteen years ago) link

I think this is Kathmandu

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Wednesday, 5 June 2024 03:02 (seven hours ago) link

Going by triangular flags, climate and trash. But I can’t find it in streetview so maybe not. feels Himalayan though.

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Wednesday, 5 June 2024 03:07 (seven hours ago) link

I was getting more of a feel of South America. The bricks above the blue yellow building above left, and occasional fragments of words

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 5 June 2024 03:25 (seven hours ago) link

The green/white street sign is pretty distinctive!

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 5 June 2024 04:27 (six hours ago) link

Bogota has street signs that are on two lines like that

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 5 June 2024 04:40 (six hours ago) link

I get the vibe that the people are more Asian than South American, but I don't know what I'm going on there.

London, post Brexit? (sorry, jokes)

StanM, Wednesday, 5 June 2024 05:18 (five hours ago) link

Looks a little like where I'll be next week (DRC, reinforced by the blue-yellow, too many bricks though)

Nabozo, Wednesday, 5 June 2024 05:42 (five hours ago) link

very rough guess but there seems to be a sign in Kurdish ("Mezhe").

assert (matttkkkk), Wednesday, 5 June 2024 05:48 (five hours ago) link

I thought I had it in the Maria Paz district, but second guessing now. The lighting is darker in the image

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 5 June 2024 05:51 (five hours ago) link

Its definitely Spanish speaking with the street name being Calle Csomething, and signs in that style appear to be common across Colombia though I noticed them more in Bogota. And the buildings on the left and words match

But on the other hand, there aren't many streets with trash like that or with that many people. Bogota's streetview surprisingly sparsely peopled. Maria Paz had people and trash. The building on the right is a problem. And the lighting isn't right, though I noticed the imagery is copyright 2019 and Bogota's coverage is more recent than that

I did wonder about Buenaventura on the coast, that seems to have trash and maybe port cities are a better bet

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 5 June 2024 06:48 (four hours ago) link

Having a punt that its Caracas.

Dan Worsley, Wednesday, 5 June 2024 07:38 (three hours ago) link

I've just realised that this is not the most recently available street view, which is not really fair as the current view is very different

This is roughly the same view in 2024
