@Will I was also thinking it could be Canada.... but East Van or West Windsor?

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 16 February 2021 20:02 (three years ago) link

Looks like it could be in New Jersey.

o. nate, Tuesday, 16 February 2021 23:01 (three years ago) link

xp. definitely not east van

I think it’s just a yellow blinking light, the kind that are used as a warning of a possible obstruction.

with all due respect to the many good players in this thread, i would like to read an extensive interview with cherry blossom about their approach to the Guess the City game

It could probably be anywhere in New England, how about Northampton MA

technical issues!

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view

Feeling much less Philadelphia now

Mural shows this is a place with palm trees along the shore (unless it's a mural depicting a completely different place, which just seems too mean of cherry blossom)

Guayaquil (eephus!), Wednesday, 17 February 2021 18:21 (three years ago) link

I don't know. The vegetation across the road there looks like it comes from a very different climate. The mural seems to depict some place in the Middle East, but everything else looks very Eastern US to me.

o. nate, Wednesday, 17 February 2021 19:30 (three years ago) link

is that a pool? sign reads something like "stairs could be slippery"?

Dinsdale, Wednesday, 17 February 2021 19:31 (three years ago) link

Looks like a cable stayed bridge in the first picture's mural, but that led me nowhere.

bulb after bulb, Wednesday, 17 February 2021 19:37 (three years ago) link

stairs closed

and isn't that an elevated train station?

rob, Wednesday, 17 February 2021 19:38 (three years ago) link

it's Upham's Corner train station in Boston

Dinsdale, Wednesday, 17 February 2021 19:55 (three years ago) link

thanks to rob's hint

Dinsdale, Wednesday, 17 February 2021 19:55 (three years ago) link

It's not *technically* a reverse angle, it's around the corner (the cherrypicker is partially obscuring the right side of the mural/ivy from pic 1).

Definitely a smallish train station, the tracks in pic 1 lead into this building.

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 17 February 2021 19:55 (three years ago) link

lol nevermind well done

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 17 February 2021 19:58 (three years ago) link

my first ever guess!

only took a shitton of scrolling on Google Image search results for "rail station mural mountains"

Dinsdale, Wednesday, 17 February 2021 20:02 (three years ago) link

crossing one off my bucket list

Dinsdale, Wednesday, 17 February 2021 20:03 (three years ago) link

ha nice one, I have looked at a ton of train-themed murals today

rob, Wednesday, 17 February 2021 20:04 (three years ago) link

good work!

The second mural depicts Cabo Verde, the first mural is a depiction of Boston

but OK, I get it, big Cap Verdean community

My northeast US seaboard general vibe was right, at least.

This one will likely be easy for a few people.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Thursday, 18 February 2021 10:23 (three years ago) link

Bridgetown, Barbados?

Sven Vath's scary carpet (Neil S), Thursday, 18 February 2021 10:32 (three years ago) link

lol, yes. Well done.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Thursday, 18 February 2021 10:40 (three years ago) link

if you recognise it's a cricket ground you're in business with that one

Sven Vath's scary carpet (Neil S), Thursday, 18 February 2021 10:40 (three years ago) link

and it's on my list of cricket grounds to visit!

how do we do with ports?

Sven Vath's scary carpet (Neil S), Thursday, 18 February 2021 10:47 (three years ago) link

Think it's Trieste? Looks European so got a top 10 of Europe's largest freight ports and did a gis of each, Trieste came in 8th

or something, Thursday, 18 February 2021 11:37 (three years ago) link

(not that I got that! Just going off your answer, I was going to guess maybe Genoa

cherry blossom, Thursday, 18 February 2021 11:54 (three years ago) link

Trieste has the same yellow cranes also

nashwan, Thursday, 18 February 2021 12:14 (three years ago) link

yes, well done!

Sven Vath's scary carpet (Neil S), Thursday, 18 February 2021 12:23 (three years ago) link

Qom, Iran?

Sven Vath's scary carpet (Neil S), Thursday, 18 February 2021 13:08 (three years ago) link

Not Qom.

varanasi, india

Jibe, Thursday, 18 February 2021 13:16 (three years ago) link

it's the varanasi junction railway station https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varanasi_Junction_railway_station

Jibe, Thursday, 18 February 2021 13:21 (three years ago) link

Looking pretty chilly out there

cherry blossom, Thursday, 18 February 2021 13:21 (three years ago) link

Jibe is correct!

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Thursday, 18 February 2021 13:24 (three years ago) link

xp maybe. In my limited experience, Indians will dress like that as soon as the temperature drops below 10

rob, Thursday, 18 February 2021 13:30 (three years ago) link

Ooooh I like this pace :) more more more

Another relatively easy one, though i have artlessly obscured two of the most Googleable clues.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Thursday, 18 February 2021 16:11 (three years ago) link

Almost certainly a college campus with the football stadium the structure in front. Looks like Stanford to me, it certainly has those tall palms along the side of roads bordering big lawns.
