xp also italy but those apartment blocks look post-soviet to me? scrub and trees in the far left bg feel north mediterranean. but also far enough south for non-sloped roofs.

I think the hills in the background look a bit too dry and scrubby to be Germany. I'm wondering about the south of France? Several towns in that region have tram/light rail networks, and I think that's a tram station to the left of the roundabout. France also has red chevron signs. The apartment blocks do look a bit Soviet, but I've seen similar in Marseille.

Peugeot and a Citröen in the traffic, the sign at the left says something like "emergence" if I squint.
― assert (matttkkkk), Thursday, 20 July 2023 03:49 (nine months ago) link
Yep I thought I made out a "ce" ending there as well which is obviously common in French.

did germany disappear?
― koogs, Thursday, 20 July 2023 10:26 (nine months ago) link
yes it disappeared from street view. there is not much coverage of germany and what does exist dates from 2011 or earlier.

french roundabouts seem to have white arrows on a round blue sign instead of chevrons

croatia definitely has (some) trams and red arrows on their roundabouts.
― a holistic digital egosystem (ledge), Thursday, 20 July 2023 15:02 (nine months ago) link
I want to say Poland because that roundabout's construction is similar to this one that got memed when a car flew over it, but drawing blanks rn.

Second pic looks very distinctive - unusual hill, parallel roads with a tram track in the middle, maybe railway sidings off to the side and a power plant in the distance? I'm not about to trawl over all of europe or even croatia (my personal guess) for it.
― crutch of england (ledge), Tuesday, 15 August 2023 07:41 (eight months ago) link
so II is a view of the roundabout in I, and maybe III is on the roof of II?

Post between nebulae.
Yellow plant bottom right is I think Herb Bennett which makes it NA or Europe.
Tattoo seems to read "I love my Momy". Can't find a reference to an area which uses that as a common term so is it maybe a reference to the French Pyrenean town?
Just so there's a guess out there I'm going to say the biggest city closest to Momy which is Bayonne.

A second look
― Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Friday, 12 January 2024 09:18 (four months ago) link
Is that a water tower ?The church at the back looks reasonably old, the climate green and a little dryGirl looks possibly Eastern European and the necklace not cheap, but that's a wild guessOn the first pic, is that ice tea (Nestea) he's drinking ? The trees look characteristic but I suck at trees
― Nabozo, Friday, 12 January 2024 10:08 (four months ago) link
I thought it was ice tea but the bottle is the wrong shape for a big brand and the blue label/green cap feels very odd
― Hello I'm shitty gatsworth (aldo), Friday, 12 January 2024 13:28 (four months ago) link
On a second look it seems the same shape as a Nestea bottle but not in the label branding they've had since relaunch in 2018.
― Hello I'm shitty gatsworth (aldo), Friday, 12 January 2024 13:44 (four months ago) link
Agree it's not carbonated because of the cap shape but there seems to be a thin layer of foam on top.

Absolute eastern euro plains vibes but my dude is making such an effort to rep 90s skate brands (DC shoes hat, vans old skools) in 2024 I could be wrong.
― citation needed (Steve Shasta), Friday, 12 January 2024 14:09 (four months ago) link
I’d guess the last word of the tattoo is ‘маму’ (mom), so a mixture of English and Russian. On a similar note, I’m pretty sure it is a Nestea bottle but the liquid is too dark, so possibly homemade kvass in a reused bottle.
I could see it being somewhere like Daugavpils.
― ShariVari, Friday, 12 January 2024 20:24 (four months ago) link
it kind of looks like my memory of Daugavpils, but I was only there for a day or so almost 20 years ago so my memory might be serving poorly
