I was wondering too... but there are not traffic signs to judge by, and the road equipment could be traveling in either direction

The car braking at the end of the street appears to be LHT.

There's a slow-moving vehicle sign on that steam-roller, which I believe are unique to North America. It looks like Charleston SC or something, something old and Southern


Def not Charleston nor New Orleans. It could be South America but overhead utilities are not as out of control.

I said Lisbon upthread and I'm pretty sure I've found it? More trees but looks right

or something, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 01:15 (three years ago) link

I say more trees, I mean more foliage. cherry blossom's pic obvs winter

or something, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 01:17 (three years ago) link

Looks right

scampsite (darraghmac), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 01:19 (three years ago) link

Yep, well played.

I wondered if the tall building behind the trees was a church, yet it's flanked on both sides by those barn-colored apartments, which made me pause. But it is indeed a church. Good work!

I've visited a grand total of 12 countries and 3 of them have come up here recently, it can't last

you people

Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 01:49 (three years ago) link

amazing work

budo jeru, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 03:45 (three years ago) link

A tough one - interesting that quite a few people thought it was North America. I did think the Iberian peninsula or possibly South America. The tiles certainly pointed to Portugal but despite having been to Lisbon several times, I forgot there are bits of it that aren't hilly!

Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 04:03 (three years ago) link

Awesome work!

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 04:54 (three years ago) link

I did start googling 'red building city Lisbon' and similar last night suspecting that the caption 'Work' had a double meaning :)

nashwan, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 09:25 (three years ago) link

Oops, no, no double meaning. Someone assumed that about a previous photo too. There's never a clue in the caption, everything is in the photo only

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 09:50 (three years ago) link

Nice one

Yeah those [whatever you call the glossy mosaics] look so Lisbonian

flamboyant goon tie included, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 13:52 (three years ago) link

check out the 2009 version on Streetview though

nashwan, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 14:04 (three years ago) link

Not there in 2014 either!

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 14:08 (three years ago) link

This one is going to be relatively easy, i think:

Not Europe, not North America, or South America I don't think. Looks Asian, more specifically subcontinental, judging from the men's dress / skin colour. Couple of yellow taxis too which makes me think India. I'm guessing an Indian megalopolis, Mumbai or Delhi.

Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 20:34 (three years ago) link

Black and yellow curbs could provide the answer

Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 20:35 (three years ago) link

But isn't that an oak tree?

Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 20:49 (three years ago) link

I can confirm that it’s not Mumbai or Delhi.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 20:56 (three years ago) link

looks kind of post--soviet to me but what do i know

lord of the ting tings (map), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 20:58 (three years ago) link

actually it might be africa?

lord of the ting tings (map), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 20:59 (three years ago) link

wait no it's definitely antarctica, getting a strong fort mcmurdo vibe

lord of the ting tings (map), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:00 (three years ago) link

Phuket?

scampsite (darraghmac), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:02 (three years ago) link

Islamabad?

pomenitul, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:03 (three years ago) link

Phuket?

agree

lord of the ting tings (map), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:04 (three years ago) link

The anomalous oak tree is a good spot.

The only clues I will give are that people play cricket there and nobody is super close yet.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:13 (three years ago) link

My initial thought was also Delhi but I see thats already been thrown out of court.

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:17 (three years ago) link

Dhaka?

Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:30 (three years ago) link

If I say nobody has the country right yet, that will probably make it a lot easier.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:39 (three years ago) link

Colombo

rob, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:52 (three years ago) link

Not Sri Lanka.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:53 (three years ago) link

found it! Sharjah, UAE - Rolla Square, to be precise

Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:54 (three years ago) link

Correct!

not good at manoeuvring through Google Maps/Street View, but it's around here: https://www.google.com/maps/@25.3564388,55.3896858,3a,75y,348.82h,107.77t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sL91ToI9apzg3kBC34OPfgg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656?hl=nl

a search for black and yellow curbs in Asia got me this pic:
http://geotips.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/srwpd3s.jpg

was expecting Bangladesh or Pakistan, but it turned out to be a UAE construction firm. then checked UAE for cricket-ness, not expecting anything, but yes! tried Abu Dhabi parks first, but then switched to Sharjah, which was also mentioned as a cricket-friendly city, and found a pic of a park that seemed to match.

Al Rolla Square, as it happens, is actually named after its banyan trees!

Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 22:14 (three years ago) link

ah thanx, right on the money!

Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 22:15 (three years ago) link

xp

Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 22:16 (three years ago) link

I thought those black and yellow curbs might do the trick!

Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 22:32 (three years ago) link

yep, I went with your suggestion, seemed like the only way in

Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 22:38 (three years ago) link

I only just noticed it actually says Sharjah on that pic as well!

Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 22:41 (three years ago) link

I looked up street views of Dhaka & Colombo and there would be thousands of scooters and Vespa Apes parked on the sidewalk if it was one of those towns, and the sky would be smoggy, and abject poverty

Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 22:45 (three years ago) link

time for some red & white curbs
