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?

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

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?

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?

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

oh wait i see what happened, those tram enclosures are new and only in 2021 footage i was looking at 2019 footage
― ciderpress, Saturday, 21 January 2023 19:47 (one year ago) link
that pretty distinct looking white/mint green domed building in the second view is the Church of St. John Vianney:https://maps.app.goo.gl/xA6n8QAPuvUafENX7?g_st=ichttps://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ko%C5%9Bci%C3%B3%C5%82_%C5%9Bw._Jana_Vianneya_w_Poznaniu

Glad that ones gone, found it difficult to pick a suitable streetview
The Golecin stadium has some interesting architecture

― Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Thursday, 26 January 2023 05:03 (one year ago) link
Not much to go on! Romanesque architecture by the looks of it, possibly a castle, but could be just about anywhere in Western or Middle Europe
― Zelda Zonk, Thursday, 26 January 2023 05:37 (one year ago) link
it's looking mildly shocked
― StanM, Thursday, 26 January 2023 06:16 (one year ago) link
Looks pretty old and tall and like a thick defense structure that was maybe converted in a residence. Given the color of the stone, I'd guess Southern part of Europe.
