Ding ding ding Tver it is!

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

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?

ogmor, Saturday, 7 March 2020 16:28 (four years ago) link

no!

cherry blossom, Saturday, 7 March 2020 17:38 (four years ago) link

"Easy one": the cars are all white so I assume it's somewhere hot, it looks "inland", I cannot identify the flag for the life of me

meaner stinks meat bake it cone (flamboyant goon tie included), Sunday, 8 March 2020 01:17 (four years ago) link

Flag looks most like Guatemala but... that doesn't look like Guatemala (at least not how I'd imagine Guatemala to look like)

meaner stinks meat bake it cone (flamboyant goon tie included), Sunday, 8 March 2020 01:24 (four years ago) link

I didn’t notice the flag but it looks like the East African Community one, so if not Kampala, maybe Kigali?

ShariVari, Sunday, 8 March 2020 05:57 (four years ago) link

He shoots, he scores!

cherry blossom, Sunday, 8 March 2020 06:17 (four years ago) link

There's a good film on Pixacao called Pixadores, for people who are interested

sunday guesser

cherry blossom, Sunday, 8 March 2020 16:45 (four years ago) link

A completely wild guess, somewhere in Mexico maybe. Torreón?

ShariVari, Sunday, 8 March 2020 17:06 (four years ago) link

Worrying loss of form for ShariVari here

cherry blossom, Monday, 9 March 2020 08:50 (four years ago) link

A v different wild guess: bergen?

ogmor, Monday, 9 March 2020 09:43 (four years ago) link

also off-target

cherry blossom, Monday, 9 March 2020 11:57 (four years ago) link

White houses with splashes of colour suggest somewhere hot to me but that's about as far as i can get.

ShariVari, Monday, 9 March 2020 11:59 (four years ago) link

ushuaia?

ogmor, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:00 (four years ago) link

ushuaia?

DAMN, out of nowhere! top bins!

cherry blossom, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:10 (four years ago) link

Oh how funny, i was looking at going there last year and didn't get around to it.

ShariVari, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:17 (four years ago) link

ogmor, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:21 (four years ago) link

One of my clients' offices, though i have never been.

ShariVari, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:24 (four years ago) link

But i won't spoil it.

ShariVari, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:25 (four years ago) link

Scale feels Chinese to me. Lotta buses, tho.

Doctor Casino, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:25 (four years ago) link

not china

ogmor, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:42 (four years ago) link

I think I got one!

Hyderabad, India.

brain (krakow), Monday, 9 March 2020 12:54 (four years ago) link

that's a bingo!

ogmor, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:57 (four years ago) link

hyderabad is, for a while at least, capital of two difference states in india

ogmor, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:58 (four years ago) link

Yas! Now to vainly try and find something not entirely obvious for you all...

brain (krakow), Monday, 9 March 2020 13:06 (four years ago) link

Probably entirely obvious after all, but the game must continue.

That red brick with faux-Roman pillars has to be Britain, somewhere. Lancaster?

ShariVari, Monday, 9 March 2020 13:57 (four years ago) link

The building on the right doens't seem as British as it should

cherry blossom, Monday, 9 March 2020 15:24 (four years ago) link

I can't think of a bit of liverpool docks that looks quite like that but lots that looks similar
