Certainly feels northern European but something doesn't look quite right for England, I might be wrong

It does looks like England. Stafford's not a city though.

I did wonder about that. It has that central England feel to it though. Stoke-on-Trent?

Holy shit, that was a lucky drop. Tampere, Finland

Great!I was wondering about the church/tower's shape on the left but I didn't see any cyrillic on the bridge's sign (...ITTI) or the building on the left (...OSIA) but it's not far from Russia after all

nice, that white building does look Nordic

it's the UK, and pretty sure I've driven through that junction, or one just like it, is it Liverpool?
― Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 5 March 2021 19:38 (three years ago) link
My first thought was Leeds
― calzino, Friday, 5 March 2021 19:41 (three years ago) link
actually scratch Leeds, the junction approaching Beeston I was thinking of has a view of the ugly Leeds skyline.

nottingham?
― nxd, Friday, 5 March 2021 19:55 (three years ago) link
Dont think its liverpool, looks a bit like edge lane but too hilly. Reminds me of Birmingham

that looks like the A38 into bristol

it does look a bit bleak for the south. don't recognize the junction, but ... sheffield?

Got it, heading into Bradford

Stupid question but are you manually blurring the number plates or are these from google street view?
― that's not my post, Saturday, 6 March 2021 01:42 (three years ago) link
They're from google streetview, which autoblurs number plates (at least most of the time). Images are as is!
― cherry blossom, Saturday, 6 March 2021 12:59 (three years ago) link
oh I knew I'd seen it before. I made several journeys through that junction taking my dog to the Bradford PDSA a couple of years back.
― calzino, Saturday, 6 March 2021 13:01 (three years ago) link
― or something,
Correct, Bradford it is xp
― cherry blossom, Saturday, 6 March 2021 13:02 (three years ago) link
it's a lot prettier approaching the Keighley side of Bradford through the beautiful desolation of Bronte country.
― calzino, Saturday, 6 March 2021 13:18 (three years ago) link
I didn't pick the best shot thats for sure!
― cherry blossom, Saturday, 6 March 2021 14:17 (three years ago) link
I didn't mean to pick one with a junction for Bradford because of the next choice

weekend view
― cherry blossom, Saturday, 6 March 2021 14:21 (three years ago) link
Looks like US signage. Palm trees. Looks a bit green for California. Maybe Florida?
― o. nate, Saturday, 6 March 2021 23:36 (three years ago) link
Could be anywhere along the Gulf Coast tbh
― it's like edging for your mind (the table is the table), Sunday, 7 March 2021 00:29 (three years ago) link
As an ex-Floridian my first thought was that's Florida, but I would say East Coast. Boca Raton or Delray Beach, somewhere around there.
― Josefa, Sunday, 7 March 2021 00:55 (three years ago) link
US cities are the toughest to find, so many of them
― or something, Sunday, 7 March 2021 00:58 (three years ago) link
i want to say those are florida east coast railway tracks, but every time i drop down beside them in street view the landscaping is rougher

Pompano Beach, never heard of it. Thanks to the clues above I dropped at several crossroads in florida with a highway running parallel to the tracks before stumbling across it
― or something, Sunday, 7 March 2021 02:18 (three years ago) link
Awesome! I spent a lot of time in Pompano back in the day. It's two towns south of Boca Raton, so I was close. That was tricky because along those railroad tracks, even within the same city, there are some very skanky stretches as well as some nicely landscaped ones as in the photo.
― Josefa, Sunday, 7 March 2021 02:26 (three years ago) link
Good work! Yeah I did think after I posted it that I should have picked a less landscaped stretch

I'm getting Chesterfield vibes, pedestrian rocking the tight black leggings and big foofy boots look noted.
― calzino, Monday, 8 March 2021 17:30 (three years ago) link
for a second I thought I saw a badge of the Barsnley fc mascot on the rear side window that little white car that looks a bit like a Clio. I magnified it and it seems more like Barney Bear.
― calzino, Monday, 8 March 2021 17:45 (three years ago) link
oops I forgot Chesterfield isn't a city, the famous spire made me think there was a cathedral!
― calzino, Monday, 8 March 2021 17:47 (three years ago) link
my final proper guess is going to be Nottingham
― calzino, Monday, 8 March 2021 17:49 (three years ago) link
Not much to go on there, could be anywhere in England from the midlands up. Is that a St George flag in the back of that car? If so I'd may be rule out one of the larger,more cosmopolitan, northern cities and maybe guess Derby?

there isn't an external intruder alarm box on every single house, it's some kind of utopia!

Not Derby then
― or something, Monday, 8 March 2021 18:55 (three years ago) link
Or Stoke-on-Trent.
