THATS MONTREAL???

many xps obv

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

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

#3 url gives it away though

#3 is not very easy for Europeans

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

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?

I was thinking upstate NY.

Damn I thought it was Legoland...

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

Ithaca?

Casper?

it's in the Western US

Vegas

it's about the size of Pittsfield, MA

or Casper, WY (which it isn't)

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?

i'll say kiev again

sofia

Legoland

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

that looks oriental to me.

bangkok

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

its not bangkok

Hanoi?

No, Saigon

saigon

when we eventually join these up they will form a pentangle

oop i hit submit by acc u win

it is saigon

Reminds me of some streets I saw in Sal in Cape Verde.

OK, that's pretty dramatically different! I'm struck by the cars, which look like they're from the 1990s or something

Ok not Himalayan. Agree with South America or maybe Haiti?

Cali, Colombia? The painting of the green jeep is labeled "El Caleno."

Or wait, maybe it is Bogota. The building in the first photo looks like La Casa de Pique in the Bronx slum, which was demolished a few years ago:

found it: 1563 Cl. 9

Ah good! I was at the wrong end of town, about 7 miles further west, though would never have found it even if landed on same street though with the changes. Was going to look for churches this afternoon

Weird area, I did kept second guessing if it was Bogota or not, but the street sign design was too big a factor to look elsewhere

well done jaymc, and cherry blossom who did say Bogota last night too. If you turn the camera around 180 degrees, are those homeless people sleeping? I really hope so, because this is what I read about the Bronx:

I think this is the best thread to ask this.

This is me. It's October 1973 and I'm seven years old. My mom and I went on a several month long trip around Europe and somewhere on the road she took this picture. My gut feeling is that it's Trieste, Italy or perhaps Pula, Croatia. I have no idea, but I'll bet that wall is still there.

Nafplio in Greece maybe?

https://theculturetrip.com/europe/greece/articles/11-reasons-to-fall-in-love-with-nafplio-the-most-romantic-destination-in-greece

I say maybe, but that looks like exactly the same piece of wall to me.

that makes total sense - we did eventually get to Greece (I had my 8th birthday in Athens)

and bingo! thanks for spotting that - I found the spot at 4:28 into this video. There's more trees now and it looks like the walls of Palamidi Fortress have been given a good cleaning.

I broke into that fortress once! Interrailing round Europe with friends in 1993 we were staying in Nafplio, after visiting the town we planned to visit the fortress on the way back to our hostel, which was on the other side, but after climbing all the way up the hill we found the fortress was closed. So we climbed up a 12ft wall, walked through it and out the other side.
