It looks very familiar to me. Which means it is one place, or it is unfamiliar.

OK - not sure where that picture is taken from, but the way I know it is from seeing it on the North Side of the Tappan Zee driving over into the dirty Jerz.

western US i guess? never seen those black and white chevrons before but we're driving on the right and there's a US-style street sign in the back there

that house is pretty anomalous if this is the western us. also the flora doesn't look right. i think it's aus or nz.

They are not at all common ime, either in California or in most other states.

keep your eye on the abandoned green and white building and go round the roundabout - instant time travel!
― ledge, Thursday, 16 March 2023 09:59 (one year ago) link
instant time travel!
I wish I could find it again but there's an amazing time travel sequence from 2009 onwards where there is a row of derelict houses, that then get knocked down, becomes a building site, is replaced with a new row of houses, and finally at least one of the houses starts to become derelict again

Not a lot to go there but it looks kind of dry and Mediterranean. Maybe southern Italy or southern Spain.
― Zelda Zonk, Thursday, 23 March 2023 08:43 (one year ago) link
Would love a close-up of that crushed red can/cup but otherwise not much to go on.
The chevrons fit Italy/Spain.
Trying to work out what the tall structures on the right are.

Trees look as though they might be olive trees. Assuming the elevated thoroughfare is a train line, I'm wondering why it has to be elevated in what looks like a flat terrain. In any case an expensive piece of infrastructure so I'm guessing we're looking at a relatively poor region but in a relatively rich country, so still checking out for southern Italy or Spain
― Zelda Zonk, Thursday, 23 March 2023 10:56 (one year ago) link
turkish chevrons are red and white
could be italy, greece, or spain
looks like a recently built rail viaduct. probably unelectrified and single track. cant be too many of those

Yes looking a lot less southern in this pic. It looks like a new-build train station somewhere rural, presumably just outside a city. I don't know about Italy, but in France, the newer TGV lines often have their stations somewhere rural, a short drive from the town/city it's associated with. Maybe Italy has something similar so we'd be looking at a relatively recently built high-speed rail station.
― Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 4 April 2023 00:28 (one year ago) link
I may be wrong but the structure on the right (second pic) looks like a passageway for people and bikes to jump over a main road or highway, with the separators in the middle. Autostrada signs are green in Italy though.Climate looks too dry for Northern Italy on first pic (olive trees and cacti, dry river). Pretty derelict infrastructure too.

I still don't know what I'm looking at here I'm afraid - a raised railway viaduct over maybe flood plains? (but the houses and this road are on this level too) & the Harm Chef graffiti doesn't ring a bell either :(
