(I have seen some pretty groovy Ghanaian church architecture in the last few minutes.)

Tim, Friday, 13 March 2020 14:36 (four years ago) link

Dilijan, Armenia?

Paperbag raita (ledge), Friday, 13 March 2020 14:44 (four years ago) link

Haha. Yes.

ShariVari, Friday, 13 March 2020 14:47 (four years ago) link

my reading and typing words into google skills are second-to-none.

Paperbag raita (ledge), Friday, 13 March 2020 14:52 (four years ago) link

Is that Antananarivo in Madagascar? I realise this is a very specific guess.

Tim, Friday, 13 March 2020 15:37 (four years ago) link

excellent! i was hoping the rice fields would be misleading.

Paperbag raita (ledge), Friday, 13 March 2020 15:46 (four years ago) link

the speed of some of this answers is quite something.

I mean I basically half expected sharivari to get mine right away but there's lots of heavy hitters itt

COVID and the Gang (jim in vancouver), Friday, 13 March 2020 16:42 (four years ago) link

oh lol I almost posted Antananarivo myself but had no clue on ledge's photo

there are several ideas I've had but immediately thought "nah ShariVari will know that instantly"

(its not Komsomolsk-on-Amur)

cherry blossom, Sunday, 15 March 2020 11:27 (four years ago) link

but it is Blackpool!

thomasintrouble, Sunday, 15 March 2020 12:54 (four years ago) link

Nice easy one!

cherry blossom, Sunday, 15 March 2020 14:38 (four years ago) link

you guys are amazing.

Yerac, Sunday, 15 March 2020 14:55 (four years ago) link

Yeah, I have no idea how they do it.

self-distancing edition

cherry blossom, Sunday, 15 March 2020 20:56 (four years ago) link

monday morning self-isolating team have at it!

cherry blossom, Monday, 16 March 2020 06:47 (four years ago) link

Nicosia?

ShariVari, Monday, 16 March 2020 10:42 (four years ago) link

Actually that's a terrible guess. Limassol?

ShariVari, Monday, 16 March 2020 10:46 (four years ago) link

I really wanted it to be Recife, but it is not Recife.

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Monday, 16 March 2020 11:03 (four years ago) link

It's probably not Limsassol either tbf.

Thought process is that the cars appear to be driving on the left, which suggest ex-British Empire or Japan, air con among other things means it's not the UK, none of the cars are white, which would be statistically unusual for Southern Africa, doesn't feel much like India to me so likely to be Malta, Cyprus, Sri Lanka or Japan, but not much of a clue beyond that possibly faulty logic.

ShariVari, Monday, 16 March 2020 11:11 (four years ago) link

Cars are driving on the right

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Monday, 16 March 2020 11:15 (four years ago) link

Damn it!

ShariVari, Monday, 16 March 2020 11:17 (four years ago) link

I really wanted it to be Santander, but I'm pretty sure it's not Santander.

Tim, Monday, 16 March 2020 11:25 (four years ago) link

One of the cars might be a black and yellow taxi, which suggests spain, but also might be anywhere else.

American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Monday, 16 March 2020 11:27 (four years ago) link

Last one was too easy, one before that too hard, this one might be just right!

cherry blossom, Monday, 16 March 2020 13:13 (four years ago) link

I think we can get there!

cherry blossom, Monday, 16 March 2020 13:13 (four years ago) link

Pandemic or not, this fine city isn't going to guess itself

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 17 March 2020 10:38 (four years ago) link

I think the way the weather looks is seducing people, that housing block front left looks suspiciously Soviet to me and there's a minaret halfway up.

Doubling down on out of date information (aldo), Tuesday, 17 March 2020 10:58 (four years ago) link

yeah I was thinking either danube or volga but nothing obvious coming up

thomasintrouble, Tuesday, 17 March 2020 11:01 (four years ago) link

The importance of the river makes me think it's somewhere on the cruise circuit, and the only non-obvious candidate for the Volga is Nizhny Novgorod.

Doubling down on out of date information (aldo), Tuesday, 17 March 2020 11:11 (four years ago) link

definitely Danube. Galati.

thomasintrouble, Tuesday, 17 March 2020 11:45 (four years ago) link

Galati it is! good work Columbo

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 17 March 2020 12:10 (four years ago) link

I would never guess any of these but I insist on making occasional offerings that amuse me so here’s this curiosity:

silby, Tuesday, 17 March 2020 15:21 (four years ago) link

Hmmmm. I'm guessing some place with a big tourist investment in Swiss-chalet imagery. AFAIC there is no McDonald's in Helen, GA, but someplace like that maybe?

Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 17 March 2020 15:27 (four years ago) link

you're in the right conceptual neighborhood

silby, Tuesday, 17 March 2020 15:43 (four years ago) link

Leavenworth?

The fillyjonk who believed in pandemics (Lily Dale), Tuesday, 17 March 2020 15:48 (four years ago) link

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 17 March 2020 16:39 (four years ago) link

Ithaca, NY

rob, Tuesday, 17 March 2020 18:31 (four years ago) link

not too bad a guess but no, not really, nope, nada,

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 18 March 2020 08:42 (four years ago) link

Nikolaevsk, Alaska?

Neil S, Wednesday, 18 March 2020 09:58 (four years ago) link

way off the mark

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 18 March 2020 10:01 (four years ago) link

Ok I'll give a clue

If you look very carefully inside one of the windows of the first house, you can just make out Joe Biden standing behind a curtain (if anyone was wondering where he had got to lately)

I've leave Joe In The Window to simmer for a little bit, and throw in this lil ssturday sparrow

cherry blossom, Saturday, 21 March 2020 13:19 (four years ago) link

San Juan?

ogmor, Saturday, 21 March 2020 18:06 (four years ago) link

Not San Juan!

Here's another shot
