six months pass...

ever since the election i've been meaning to revive this loveliest of threads, for some deep unknowable reason. anyhow, here's a bit of a toughie i think:

oh fuck. that did not work as intended.

Tocopilla, Chile?

El Tomboto, Monday, 21 November 2016 02:03 (seven years ago) link

Ha yeah. Hometown to Alejandro Jodorowsky and Alexis Sanchez. An export point for copper and saltpeter.

never have i been a blue calm sea (collardio gelatinous), Monday, 21 November 2016 02:04 (seven years ago) link

That's a huge cemetery.

El Tomboto, Monday, 21 November 2016 02:09 (seven years ago) link

Proportionally, I mean

El Tomboto, Monday, 21 November 2016 02:09 (seven years ago) link

And so central

^ that one's killing me.

this is in the alps somewhere. alpsburg

Treeship, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 03:47 (seven years ago) link

rly? that light-colored church (i'm assuming) in the upper right corner doesn't looks more vaguely iberian or eastern orthodox than something you'd see in the alps.

never have i been a blue calm sea (collardio gelatinous), Wednesday, 30 November 2016 03:55 (seven years ago) link

(uh that sentence didn't come out how i intended)

never have i been a blue calm sea (collardio gelatinous), Wednesday, 30 November 2016 03:56 (seven years ago) link

i was thinking eastern alps, like somewhere in slovenia or some country like that

Treeship, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 03:59 (seven years ago) link

the roofs don't look steep enough for the alps. transilvania? it looks like a messy japan tbh.

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Wednesday, 30 November 2016 04:16 (seven years ago) link

maybe it's in central asia

Treeship, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 04:18 (seven years ago) link

oh eastern alps yes, totally could be, I thought the same. I guess I've always thought of Slovenia in terms of the Dinarides ... But even those are an extension of the alps after all.

never have i been a blue calm sea (collardio gelatinous), Wednesday, 30 November 2016 04:18 (seven years ago) link

The vegetation doesn't suggest harsh winters.

never have i been a blue calm sea (collardio gelatinous), Wednesday, 30 November 2016 04:22 (seven years ago) link

i think it's in austria

Treeship, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 04:31 (seven years ago) link

no i don't

Treeship, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 04:40 (seven years ago) link

it's somewhere asian with alps-style mountains

Treeship, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 04:40 (seven years ago) link

think about that last post some more

El Tomboto, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 04:44 (seven years ago) link

oh i've thought about it.

my posts go through multiple drafts before submission. haven't you noticed?

Treeship, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 04:45 (seven years ago) link

I meant you're getting warm

El Tomboto, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 04:55 (seven years ago) link

omg stop giving hints

lag∞n, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 04:59 (seven years ago) link

Thimphu?

never have i been a blue calm sea (collardio gelatinous), Wednesday, 30 November 2016 05:49 (seven years ago) link

Tbilisi?

there's no cross on that temple. i think it's hindu. orthodox domes always have them

Mountains plus church plus lush vegetation plus India suggests Darjeeling or somewhere close.

Bubba H.O.T.A.P.E (ShariVari), Wednesday, 30 November 2016 06:32 (seven years ago) link

Could be Nepal (where almost all Darjeeling tea actually comes from) though.

Bubba H.O.T.A.P.E (ShariVari), Wednesday, 30 November 2016 06:52 (seven years ago) link

mcleod ganj/dharamsala would be lagoonish

ogmor, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 08:30 (seven years ago) link

its darjeeling

Here's a daytime view near the building in the middle of the above photo, if that helps:

(I obscured a sign on top of one of the buildings, so it won't give you an obvious hint.)

Tuomas, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 12:38 (seven years ago) link

Georgetown, Guyana

Treeship, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 13:32 (seven years ago) link

It's somewhere in Central America or the Caribbean

Treeship, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 13:33 (seven years ago) link

I think the reverse sign in the top left corner of the first picture says Banco something so i'd lean towards Spanish-speaking Caribbean or close to it.

Bubba H.O.T.A.P.E (ShariVari), Wednesday, 30 November 2016 13:39 (seven years ago) link

Not Georgetown.

Tuomas, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 13:48 (seven years ago) link

Plaza detailing makes me think it's somewhere with a metro, though I guess it could just be a mall or parking garage.

San Jose, Costa Rica. Was the red taxis that did it.
