dude (del), Tuesday, 21 September 2010 15:21 (thirteen years ago) link

Chinedu "Edu" Obasi Ogbuke (nakhchivan), Tuesday, 21 September 2010 20:14 (thirteen years ago) link

is 136 somewhere in china?

caek, Wednesday, 22 September 2010 08:50 (thirteen years ago) link

dont think houses/buildings in China have that kind of sloping roof you see on the ones in the foreground

but the shade of green you can see on some of the buildings definitely matches the construction tarps they drape over buildings under renovation. also signs of some kind of olde wall/tower on the right hand side? intriguing.

dayo, Wednesday, 22 September 2010 08:56 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah, houses in the foreground look eastern european?

caek, Wednesday, 22 September 2010 09:10 (thirteen years ago) link

Proper high mountains, vague eastern euro look, church on bluff, nakh's name ... Yerevan?

Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 22 September 2010 09:30 (thirteen years ago) link

haha no

yerevan has ararat in the background

Chinedu "Edu" Obasi Ogbuke (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 22 September 2010 12:52 (thirteen years ago) link

that's a proper high mountain

Chinedu "Edu" Obasi Ogbuke (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 22 September 2010 12:53 (thirteen years ago) link

Is it something like Sion in Switzerland? (missing the mid-city double hill though)

StanM, Wednesday, 22 September 2010 14:35 (thirteen years ago) link

136 looks Russian or ex-USSR

Un peu d'Eire, ça fait toujours Dublin (Michael White), Wednesday, 22 September 2010 14:52 (thirteen years ago) link

there is no way that city is 1) below 5,000 feet elevation 2) south of the 40th parallel, or 3) populated by more than 100,000 inhabitants

del griffith, Wednesday, 22 September 2010 18:17 (thirteen years ago) link

north of 40th parallel but yr wrong with the other two

Chinedu "Edu" Obasi Ogbuke (nakhchivan), Wednesday, 22 September 2010 19:59 (thirteen years ago) link

this is how it used to look

i really need to live somewhere surrounded by mountains at some point

I saw him in convulsive throws I said "I'll have one of those" (sunny successor), Thursday, 23 September 2010 14:41 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah i've always thought the same....or proximity to mountains at least, since having huge mountains surrounding you could be dismal in winter light / snowdrifts

E-Mil Cioran (nakhchivan), Thursday, 23 September 2010 14:43 (thirteen years ago) link

can you tell us whether this city is located in the caucasus, and if not, where it is in relation to them?

del griffith, Thursday, 23 September 2010 16:21 (thirteen years ago) link

nowhere near the caucasus

E-Mil Cioran (nakhchivan), Thursday, 23 September 2010 17:30 (thirteen years ago) link

define "near"

del griffith, Thursday, 23 September 2010 17:34 (thirteen years ago) link

'that kind of sloping roof you see on the ones in the foreground'

E-Mil Cioran (nakhchivan), Thursday, 23 September 2010 19:18 (thirteen years ago) link

They look sort of Scandinavian, as does the fact that some of the buildings are gaily coloured. Black soil = volcanic, but it's not Rekjavik and nowhere else in Iceland is big enough. Used to look different usually = destroyed in the war, so that'd be Norway. Bergen? But there's no sea in sight, which is confusing.

Ismael Klata, Thursday, 23 September 2010 19:53 (thirteen years ago) link

Somewhere Alpine/Tyrolean? Innsbruck?

ailsa, Thursday, 23 September 2010 20:01 (thirteen years ago) link

For some reason, it makes me think of Eastern Europe...like maybe Romania?

Falkor Johnson (askance johnson), Thursday, 23 September 2010 20:03 (thirteen years ago) link

ailsa near enough i guess

surprised ppl didn't suss it was alpine pretty quickly

I expect this one to go quickly, but I like the photo.

krakow, Sunday, 26 September 2010 10:09 (thirteen years ago) link

Ah, I was on the wrong side of the Alps with Sion, then (xpost)

StanM, Sunday, 26 September 2010 10:13 (thirteen years ago) link

xp lol erm any more clues?

F-Unit (Ste), Sunday, 26 September 2010 10:15 (thirteen years ago) link

That tall building with the clock looks a little like that one in Liverpool, but that's on the waterfront, I believe

StanM, Sunday, 26 September 2010 10:22 (thirteen years ago) link

xpost, yeah

Is that the Liver building being built? (Insert obligatory "can't tell if those cars have hubcaps" joke here.)

Tim, Sunday, 26 September 2010 10:24 (thirteen years ago) link

Liverpool indeed, it's my hometown. I liked that it was the Liver Building without the Liver Birds in place.

krakow, Sunday, 26 September 2010 10:27 (thirteen years ago) link

xp Manchester? Looks a bit like Oxford Rd to me...

Neil S, Sunday, 26 September 2010 10:32 (thirteen years ago) link

yeah i was shooting for mcr, and the refuge building
