I feel like my answer of "it seems like Massachusetts but also like a desolate part of New Jersey" was morally correct

Saturday atmosphere

Tirana?

Lots of clues (poverty, light skin-tones, ex-communist-style architecture) that indicate the poorer parts of Europe or west/central Asia. The most intriguing clue is how flat the landscape is, so most of the Balkans are out. Looks more like the steppes than a littoral, since it is so bereft of vegetation.

Makhachkala?

Second angle, facing the other way

Ferentari, Bucharest?

Stolipinovo?

I_Got_Loaded, Sunday, 23 August 2020 14:55 (three years ago) link

idk feels like we have a winner here, no?

No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Sunday, 23 August 2020 15:07 (three years ago) link

I would have accepted Plovdiv given thats the city, but if we're down to neighbourhood level then Stolipinovo is a gold star answer!

cherry blossom, Sunday, 23 August 2020 15:44 (three years ago) link

that's impressive! because of this i found a documentary about stolipinovo on youtube that i will save to watch later.

Is that the documentary from 2009? I found it and watched yesterday

cherry blossom, Monday, 24 August 2020 05:32 (three years ago) link

yes

Hay can you give us another clue for the 27th July?

Tim, Monday, 24 August 2020 12:17 (three years ago) link

27 July looks northern European, possibly Scandi: Sundsvall?

second shot for 27th July

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 25 August 2020 11:46 (three years ago) link

Looks a bit German to me

Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 25 August 2020 11:51 (three years ago) link

I can see a two-spired cathedral on July 27th photo. Is it Fulda?

my god, it's full of bugles (flamboyant goon tie included), Tuesday, 25 August 2020 17:11 (three years ago) link

Sheffield?

オニモ (onimo), Tuesday, 25 August 2020 17:36 (three years ago) link

no those roofs are extremely mitteleuropäische

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Tuesday, 25 August 2020 17:49 (three years ago) link

the chimney stack in front of the hills does look a lot like the hope valley cement works though!

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Tuesday, 25 August 2020 17:51 (three years ago) link

that does look like dear old Blighty to me but mind you I've never been to central europe

Temporary Erogenous Zone (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 25 August 2020 18:35 (three years ago) link

i think the roofs are too steep (they're designed for snow) and too red (they're slate in the UK).

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Tuesday, 25 August 2020 18:41 (three years ago) link

I spent ages thinking it was somewhere in the UK too - the neoclassical pile towards the right hand side of the Jul 27 pic, but (as Caek said) I'd be amazed if those roofs were in the UK. That little two-spired church spotted by FGTI (visible between the two left-most tree trunks on the Jul 27 pic, I reckon it's probably too small to be the town cathedral?) makes me think Germany or nearby.

"Germany or nearby" too big. I am left with absolutely no clue where it might be.

Tim, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 10:09 (three years ago) link

Could it be Stuttgart? That church could be the St. Maria Kirche?

Tim, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 10:22 (three years ago) link

what are those buildings (or is it one complex?) with those two minaret-like chimneys or whatever they are in the centre of yesterday's pic? is it something industrial?

(there's a church somewhat to the left of it/them that looks Central European to me)

No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 10:38 (three years ago) link

I put Stuttgart Factory chimneys into google image search and got these, from yer actual kraftwerk (Heizkraftwerk Stuttgart-Gaisburg in this case) and they could be the same? The complex slightly behind them in yesterday's pic could be the Mercedes plant / museum.

which might mean that church, if we're looking at the same one, is the Evangelisches Pfarramt Gaisburg:

Applause! Stuttgart is the one

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 12:47 (three years ago) link

This may be very easy.

I'm feeling Southeast Asia/Oceania....

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 15:08 (three years ago) link

it may be cheating a little bit because I remember you had plans of going there like a year ago - but could it be Guangzhou? (if it’s not that it’s definitely in that region, probably more to the south than to the north of it)

No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 15:30 (three years ago) link

Looks to be on the coast?

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 16:16 (three years ago) link

Off the cuff guess is Salvador, but this needs some thinking

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 16:18 (three years ago) link

Those streets are super quiet but maybe its a post-covid photo!

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 16:24 (three years ago) link

I had looked at every South American skyline this morning but forgot about Central America, as one often does :(

I think the only one I have got recently is when someone posted one of the 4 cities in my country lol

Temporary Erogenous Zone (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 18:05 (three years ago) link

Panama City is correct!

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 18:12 (three years ago) link

I was in the right hemisphere at least, but would never have got that

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 19:11 (three years ago) link

much more than can be said for me lol (at least if we’re talking Eastern vs Western)

No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 19:32 (three years ago) link

panama city sounds awful tbr

My failure to engage with this thread makes me feel better about my ecological footprint.

And another of the same city, just to make it easier:
