Yep
Hafnarfjörður to be exact
Figured somebody'd immediately be like "that is a smelting plant"

Was there a few years ago. That's on the way from the airport to the city, it's huge

That pipe mounted to the side of it is like half-a-kilometer long and it gets smaller and smaller and it's pretty transfixing to see as you drive past it

Okay, hope this works.

The last few have burned up almost all my remaining brain cells and this already looks another tough nut to crack
Another one with distinctive streetlights. I got nothing so far other than 'looks like somewhere in Russia'.

I was thinking somewhere in Eastern Germany but this is a totally unscientific hunch on my part.

Do they have cars like that in Motor City? Looks European to me, but I don't even have a driver's licence, so don't mind me.

That streetlamp is like a beautiful graceful heron

Xp no, the cars generally argue against North America

Currently, around 300 trolleybus systems are in operation, in cities and towns in 43 countries.

The visible electrical wires also look vaguely Eastern European to me. Maybe more Central European since this place doesn't look too run down.

The banner on the lightpost looks, to me, a lot like the banners you see on college campuses promoting the college?
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 30 January 2021 16:54 (three years ago) link
Its a little dusty to be a college banner, I think thats a politician
― cherry blossom, Saturday, 30 January 2021 17:01 (three years ago) link
the street lights look like Concorde or some kind of jet plane?
― StanM, Saturday, 30 January 2021 17:02 (three years ago) link
I think so too. Not to mention that such banners are more of a North American thing, no?

the people look too white for it to be Kourou (French Guyana, ESA launch site) imho - nor would I expect to see a Renault or Peugeot in Baikonur
― StanM, Saturday, 30 January 2021 17:03 (three years ago) link
I've seen those kinds of banners in Europe.
Not that I know where this is. The number of people walking around points me toward Europe rather than North America though.

The college ones? A political ad seems way likelier imo.
― pomenitul, Saturday, 30 January 2021 17:20 (three years ago) link
yes at the newly dumbly named Université de Paris for example
― All cars are bad (Euler), Saturday, 30 January 2021 17:21 (three years ago) link
though I agree that these are not likely college banners
Fair enough. I guess this photo doesn't strike me as very campus-y, although it's not impossible.
Also, are we certain that those suspended wires indicate the presence of a trolleybus system?

Why is politician partly whited out and is he holding some kind of torch?

It def can’t be North America, hardly any trolleybuses here, and it def gives an eastern Central Europe post soviet vibe. Somewhere in Romania?

Sizable trolley bus network in Seattle but it’s not Seattle
― Canon in Deez (silby), Saturday, 30 January 2021 19:27 (three years ago) link
Seems a bit too clean to be Romania but I might be wrong. We've still got trolleybuses in some cities, that much is true.

We're ignoring the mural

Needs more jpeg.

I feel like I've seen the character in the right hand side of the mural somewhere before

I'm intrigued by the sign next to the red gate, looks like it's representing a church or something like that. Like it's telling us "this hasn't always been a shithole, there used to be a beautiful church around here"

wish list (apart from higher resolution photos obv)- ability to maximize pictures by more than the current 500%- larger computer screen

is this Ukraine?
― Dinsdale, Saturday, 30 January 2021 20:31 (three years ago) link
Could be Russia too. Or Belarus.

Yeah Belarus too, I was thinking of something in the Chernobyl area.
