Ok, not more difficult! That's correct.

Tbf, I had to map several of the buildings visible here for an architectural tour/guidebook some years back. Otherwise it's a big old axis in a skyscraper city by night, and probably pretty tough!

cherry blossom, Thursday, 5 March 2020 14:50 (four years ago) link

ogmor, Thursday, 5 March 2020 14:54 (four years ago) link

Aha, I know that church but won’t spoil it for everyone else.

ShariVari, Thursday, 5 March 2020 15:18 (four years ago) link

I've guessed an obnoxious amount already so I'll throw this in the mix:

Tbilisi?

cherry blossom, Thursday, 5 March 2020 15:24 (four years ago) link

yes!

ogmor, Thursday, 5 March 2020 15:26 (four years ago) link

Easy enough:

My first one is still unguessed!

for the "I know that church!" crowd

Stabbing in dark here but Sapporo?

cherry blossom, Thursday, 5 March 2020 15:34 (four years ago) link

euler's is lyon!

gyac's I have no clue, beijing?

ogmor, Thursday, 5 March 2020 15:40 (four years ago) link

No to both

median punt (gyac), Thursday, 5 March 2020 15:43 (four years ago) link

ogmor is of course right

Joey Corona (Euler), Thursday, 5 March 2020 15:46 (four years ago) link

ogmor "I've guessed" no u haven't u've not guessed a single one of these

thanks

ogmor, Thursday, 5 March 2020 16:13 (four years ago) link

that isn't a cheating accusation btw lol

unless being a human travel website is cheating

(I guess the Beijing one was a guess, oops)

He dodged having a guess at my white church by the river too

cherry blossom, Thursday, 5 March 2020 16:24 (four years ago) link

my first guess was downriver

ogmor, Thursday, 5 March 2020 16:25 (four years ago) link

White church still unguessed but here's another maybe easier one to go with it

cherry blossom, Friday, 6 March 2020 07:56 (four years ago) link

ok if no one else is playing, I think the river one is volgograd but this easier one is much harder. maybe east africa somewhere?

ogmor, Friday, 6 March 2020 09:41 (four years ago) link

I could sort of see it being suburban Manila but idk.

ShariVari, Friday, 6 March 2020 09:50 (four years ago) link

My first one was Tokyo, specifically Ueno Park looking at the National museum during a koi sale.

Two more, and that’s all I have on this phone I think:

I think, though on reflection, am not 100% sure, that the river one is Tver.

ShariVari, Friday, 6 March 2020 09:55 (four years ago) link

Ding ding ding Tver it is!

cherry blossom, Friday, 6 March 2020 09:56 (four years ago) link

1 is Hong Kong?

the second two are interesting, thinking...

cherry blossom, Friday, 6 March 2020 10:00 (four years ago) link

Indeed it is.

median punt (gyac), Friday, 6 March 2020 10:07 (four years ago) link

I feel like narrowing down to either Poland or Czechia

cherry blossom, Friday, 6 March 2020 10:08 (four years ago) link

I'll have stab in the dark at Wroclaw, but leave it to someone else after that if it isnt!

cherry blossom, Friday, 6 March 2020 10:13 (four years ago) link

Nope

median punt (gyac), Friday, 6 March 2020 10:18 (four years ago) link

gdansk?

ogmor, Friday, 6 March 2020 10:20 (four years ago) link

Yes!

median punt (gyac), Friday, 6 March 2020 10:24 (four years ago) link

We're playing on hard mode now?

romanesque architect (pomenitul), Saturday, 7 March 2020 11:01 (four years ago) link

Interesting markings!

We can do this!

cherry blossom, Saturday, 7 March 2020 11:09 (four years ago) link

I have faith

ShariVari, Saturday, 7 March 2020 11:21 (four years ago) link

I have brought in supplies, ordered infra-red goggles and unlocked the cabinet with the antique hunting knife. I'm going in

cherry blossom, Saturday, 7 March 2020 11:23 (four years ago) link

The writing at the top isn't quite decipherable. I'd be tempted by Bishkek otherwise. Those markings on the side tho hmm

cherry blossom, Saturday, 7 March 2020 11:29 (four years ago) link

The markings on the side are pretty much unique to one city.

ShariVari, Saturday, 7 March 2020 11:39 (four years ago) link

Or two cities in the same country to be more accurate.

ShariVari, Saturday, 7 March 2020 12:00 (four years ago) link

the only place I've been where there were markings on buildings that seemed like those is Brazil, specifically São Paolo, but that's all I've got.

Joey Corona (Euler), Saturday, 7 March 2020 15:08 (four years ago) link

looks a bit like amharic/ge'ez so given the look of the place maybe armenia or albania? tirana? I know they go in for wacky tower block decorations

ogmor, Saturday, 7 March 2020 15:26 (four years ago) link

That’s all you need. It’s right.

The graffiti is Pixação.

ShariVari, Saturday, 7 March 2020 15:28 (four years ago) link

ha! nice. I saw a lot of it on the interminable (because of traffic) bus ride between São Paolo airport and Campinas. I found it menacing.

Joey Corona (Euler), Saturday, 7 March 2020 15:30 (four years ago) link

Well done Euler!

ok if no one else is playing, I think the river one is volgograd but this easier one is much harder. maybe east africa somewhere?

― ogmor,

Good attempt - I think it qualifies as being in that region

cherry blossom, Saturday, 7 March 2020 15:46 (four years ago) link

hmm borderline east africa... kampala?
