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 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.

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.

ok, so it says "dajemo" on the banner in the back, which Google translate tells me is Croatian (and in Latin script, so not Serbian etc.) but the shirt says "FK Something" and Croatian teams are NK not FK. Hm.
― link.exposing.politically (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 12 September 2022 13:43 (one year ago) link
I think it's Bosnia (BH Telecom on that banner if I'm not mistaken), and FK does seem to be their version of FC

Nice work - I was busy looking at Karlovac in Croatia because the coat of arms on the logo we can see front and centre looks like it might be this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karlovačko, but it's an international brand by the looks.
