is there a church behind the trees? (still, not enough to go on)

StanM, Thursday, 28 January 2021 18:02 (three years ago) link

(the left row of trees)

StanM, Thursday, 28 January 2021 18:03 (three years ago) link

This thread blows my mind too. I've been to 28 countries and I don't think I've guessed a single city on here from sight!

Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Thursday, 28 January 2021 18:18 (three years ago) link

How about Stavanger?

or something, Thursday, 28 January 2021 19:21 (three years ago) link

Correct.

Here, have your bragging rights.

pomenitul, Thursday, 28 January 2021 19:21 (three years ago) link

How'd you guess?

pomenitul, Thursday, 28 January 2021 19:22 (three years ago) link

Norway is one of the 11 countries I've visited and it reminded me of there. Fortunately there are only what... 4 cities in Norway?

or something, Thursday, 28 January 2021 19:29 (three years ago) link

Stavanger is the first city in this thread I've been in (still didn't recognize it).

nickn, Thursday, 28 January 2021 19:33 (three years ago) link

I think it would have taken me a year at least to guess that. I'd got it into my head that it was Riga but just couldn't make it fit

cherry blossom, Thursday, 28 January 2021 19:35 (three years ago) link

I was trying to link to that street view but couldn't figure out how in time

or something, Thursday, 28 January 2021 19:47 (three years ago) link

(been to 12 countries on counting, still a poor effort)

or something, Thursday, 28 January 2021 19:48 (three years ago) link

It looks a little dusty for benelux?

But not for Scandinavia.

Waterloo Subset (Tom D.), Thursday, 28 January 2021 20:00 (three years ago) link

Thats what tripped me up and sent me in the wrong direction!

cherry blossom, Thursday, 28 January 2021 20:02 (three years ago) link

ive only been to 11 countries and that's both counting england and scotland as separate countries and counting driving through france and staying a night at a travelodge (or similar) in the reims area

Waterloo Subset (Tom D.), Thursday, 28 January 2021 20:24 (three years ago) link

Anaheim!

alpine static, Friday, 29 January 2021 00:35 (three years ago) link

i have very little confidence that is correct, i just wanted to guess one ... never seen a pic w/o a guess before. after this, i will go back to observing. :)

actually, i did figure out Missoula way upthread w/o any hints or research, etc.

alpine static, Friday, 29 January 2021 00:37 (three years ago) link

this one is odd because it looks just like this one place in Berlin, but there are several signs that it cannot be Berlin, and my mind simply cannot move on

Every time I post a new pic I feel like a dungeon master.

pomenitul, Friday, 29 January 2021 00:41 (three years ago) link

That a' flag seems significant

or something, Friday, 29 January 2021 00:47 (three years ago) link

sort of reminds me of the kind of square that you find in spain or its former colonies but doesn't really scream either spain or latin america to me

Dusty Benelux (jim in vancouver), Friday, 29 January 2021 00:53 (three years ago) link

Yeah i though seville tbh

Qanondorf (darraghmac), Friday, 29 January 2021 00:56 (three years ago) link

it kinda reminds me of some towns in northern CA actually but i don't think i could actually say why

Doctor Casino, Friday, 29 January 2021 01:12 (three years ago) link

looks like ca to me too but the red-white dashes on the curb seem weird and maybe not u.s. also, what is that, a bus shelter? also looks non u.s. to me but what do i know.

satanist of size (map), Friday, 29 January 2021 01:14 (three years ago) link

and i think that's an accented a.

satanist of size (map), Friday, 29 January 2021 01:14 (three years ago) link

It's coastal. That weird green Dr Who type shed and the even sandier than Benelux terrain are screaming it's coastal

or something, Friday, 29 January 2021 01:15 (three years ago) link

Even sandier than Not-Benelux I should say

or something, Friday, 29 January 2021 01:18 (three years ago) link

just realized the red-white dashes are scooter / motorcycle parking? us usually does it with lines in the street afaict.

satanist of size (map), Friday, 29 January 2021 01:21 (three years ago) link

Don't think it's Seville or Southern Europe because people seem to be well wrapped up, despite the fact that there are leaves on most of the trees therefore it's not winter. So it's somewhere with a colder climate I'd say. Plus the little green shelter says cold to me. The 'a' flags should make this easy, but are proving resistant to my google searches. My first impressions are a well to do northern European city - but the "taxi" sign is a bit lo-fi. Trees look quite distinctive too.

Zelda Zonk, Friday, 29 January 2021 01:23 (three years ago) link

There is a palm tree (queen/king palm common name) on the left, so not too far north.

nickn, Friday, 29 January 2021 01:37 (three years ago) link

Bahia Blanca?

٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 29 January 2021 01:38 (three years ago) link

Can see a couple other palms, looking closer.

nickn, Friday, 29 January 2021 01:39 (three years ago) link

Yes you're right - this one is confusing! But those trees lining the street are strange - I guess they're like plane trees and have a bit of a latin city feel to me...

Zelda Zonk, Friday, 29 January 2021 01:42 (three years ago) link

Reminds me a bit of some parts of Mexico City.

o. nate, Friday, 29 January 2021 02:39 (three years ago) link

I have been to that city
I've seen the banners and I remember thinking "that A is irrelevant to the city name"
The only places I've been to that look like that are in Iberia
There is a busker playing guitar
It is Spain, I think it's Madrid

*waits patiently for the DM to resolve the turn*

flamboyant goon tie included, Friday, 29 January 2021 04:06 (three years ago) link

Madrid makes sense - palm trees, and yet could still be coldish in spring

Zelda Zonk, Friday, 29 January 2021 04:46 (three years ago) link

That shelter looks a little dus

cherry blossom, Friday, 29 January 2021 08:25 (three years ago) link

I'm not sure the shelter feels right for Madrid but I've never been to Madrid

cherry blossom, Friday, 29 January 2021 08:26 (three years ago) link

I’ve been to paradise...

Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Friday, 29 January 2021 10:33 (three years ago) link

My first thought was Zurich but also, weirdly, has the feel of Ciutadella on Menorca.
