Top right hand corner there looks to be a Belgian flag in the window. If that's right, and I'm not entirely sure it is (do Belgians put flags in their windows?), then it's too hilly to be Flanders. There appears to be a street lift, but it's not the one in Brussels.

Belgian flags can be seen on the national holiday or when there's international soccerball going on. Parts of Flanders are that hilly too.

guessing Liege maybe?

If it's Thursday this must be Belgium, again

Could also be a German flag hanging down.

black-yellow-red is Belgium. Germany has the red next to the black.

Is that a bridge or an elevator in the middle of the pic?
― ignore the blue line (or something), Thursday, 18 August 2022 12:18 (one year ago) link
Looks like an elevator to me, which should make this easy... but googling Belgian street elevators is not giving me the answer
― Zelda Zonk, Thursday, 18 August 2022 12:29 (one year ago) link
big glass roof to the left of the walking man - museum? government building?
― StanM, Thursday, 18 August 2022 14:45 (one year ago) link
or a train station, that could have an outside elevator too
― StanM, Thursday, 18 August 2022 14:52 (one year ago) link
given the suitcase i figured station

The street elevator and hairpin turn with mirror remind me of Monaco, but the trees on that hill look a bit too lush to be Mediterranean.
― o. nate, Friday, 19 August 2022 16:56 (one year ago) link
Apartment blocks definitely not swish enough to be Monaco. Whether this is Belgium or not, definitely getting Northern European vibes.

I feel like this one should have been easy, with the Belgian flag in the window (possibly a red herring) and that very singular-looking structure which I assume is a lift/elevator down to a station. But it looks like we need another pic...

Phew, and thanks! I got it from the 'lyp cr' tag, then I spotted the monorail which had the right shade of green for its supports but couldn't find that bridge/elevator at all.

The monorail looks way cool and has its own unusual detail in wikipedia article:
The Wuppertal Suspension Railway, a suspended monorail, serves the city and its surroundings. It has operated since 1901, with new cars added beginning in December 2016. In 1950, a young elephant named Tuffi was put aboard the Wuppertal Schwebebahn (monorail), as a promotion for the Althoff Circus. The swinging tram upset the elephant, and she trumpeted, charged, and plummeted 12 m (40 ft) into the river below. Tuffi suffered minor injuries; she lived until 1989. In 1999, the Schwebebahn had its thus far only fatal accident.

the glass was a station but the elevator didn't go to it, so we were both right and astray

I got it from the 'lyp cr' tag

i searched for '"lyp" "cr" graffiti', second result says "I don't know anything about LYP Crew except they are from NRW, probably from the area Wuppertal" without even clicking through. pretty lucky, i doubt that would happen for most other tags.

oh and it was a sideways german flag!

we should've spotted that the black strip on the left was actually the side of the recessed window.
― the man with the chili in his eyes (ledge), Thursday, 25 August 2022 15:56 (one year ago) link
why I'll be... I was 100% sure on it being the Belgian flag but did not spot that the black wasn't part of the flag :(
― StanM, Thursday, 25 August 2022 17:43 (one year ago) link
Good work! The flag was a bit of an optical illusion eh

Looks like Southern California, which the Lakers shorts on the cyclist support. Maybe somewhere near Carpinteria, or Oxnard?

Looks like one of the bridges over the Santa Clara River in Santa Clarita, CA but can't quite find the exact one.

the one in santa paula has the same railing but isn't it. none of the santa clarita ones i checked had the right railing
