Here we go

Those look like river cruise boats rather than ocean boats. Guessing Turkey or elsewhere in Central Asia.

Yep, one of the Russian cruise ports like Rostov-na-Donu would make sense.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Monday, 22 February 2021 16:00 (three years ago) link

I actually think it looks like somewhere on the US west coast, Vancouver even, but I'm definitely wrong.

The people look Russian.

Got me thinking Black or Caspian Seas. How about Sochi?

or something, Monday, 22 February 2021 18:02 (three years ago) link

I guess I don't think they look Russian only because I'm clocking the two people in the bottom right as queer, and quite visibly so imho.

(Not that there aren't queer people in Russia, obv, but just because the look is a little too on the nose queer)

Who knows! But I did take one look at the photo and think they were Russian and then noticed two posts below that someone mentioned Russian cruise ports ... still might be bullshit of course!

I'm Going to Bring a Watermelon to Mark Grout Tonight (Tom D.), Monday, 22 February 2021 18:33 (three years ago) link

Definitely a river port because that boat is unable to handle open water swells.

Guessing the Volga for obvious reasons.

Good one. I guess there's a certain "Russian fashion is unintentionally gay" thing that goes on.

Sometimes it's hard to tell if gay porn was made in Iowa or outside Petrovostok or whatever.

Great closing down of the options. I knew someone would get it once the boats were identified as river boats

As for the clothing/fashion, I presume they are Chuvash rather than Russian, but not necessarily

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 23 February 2021 06:16 (three years ago) link

Coincidentally, for Russian, Chuvash sounds like dudes

Ρ‡ΡƒΠ²Π°Ρˆ: Chuvash
Ρ‡ΡƒΠ²Π°ΠΊ: Chuvak (Dude)

That has to be the quickest return by far!

Kolkata?

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Tuesday, 23 February 2021 11:06 (three years ago) link

Is that a cricket pitch/ground/field?

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 23 February 2021 11:15 (three years ago) link

Bangalore

or something, Tuesday, 23 February 2021 11:26 (three years ago) link

(xp) Looks like it. Which would make India possible.

I'm Going to Bring a Watermelon to Mark Grout Tonight (Tom D.), Tuesday, 23 February 2021 11:28 (three years ago) link

well done or something it is Bangalore's MG road

Jibe, Tuesday, 23 February 2021 11:39 (three years ago) link

@cherry blossom: the area on the right is a parade ground that belongs to the military iirc, but you can see the floodlights of the cricket stadium in the background

Jibe, Tuesday, 23 February 2021 11:41 (three years ago) link

(Xp) Bengaluru I should say, apologies. Found the stadium but cant nail the spot

or something, Tuesday, 23 February 2021 11:45 (three years ago) link

it's somewhere near the corner of residency road and mg road

Jibe, Tuesday, 23 February 2021 11:52 (three years ago) link

Found it, Chief Engineer Offive and Civil Courts, no streetview tho

or something, Tuesday, 23 February 2021 11:57 (three years ago) link

Nice one Jibe! Here I was waking up and expecting to have to field clues lol. I tried to make my submission a little harder (America town in Okinawa which has a lot of English/Roman signs) but I obviously failed at that lol.

I could explain using images, but that would be very NSFW.

lol I thought eephus! was asking "how" did Albert figure it out, but now I'm not sure

rob, Tuesday, 23 February 2021 20:22 (three years ago) link

ha ha I meant how did Albert figure it out but both are fair questions

"river ports along the Volga" led me to this list of principal ports:

https://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Volga+Basin+River+Ports

then results "volga river port [x]" for "volga river port cheboksary" got me to this img srch:

took ~10 mins

Monday

cherry blossom, Monday, 1 March 2021 14:08 (three years ago) link

that looks like England to me. Stafford?

Sven Vath's scary carpet (Neil S), Monday, 1 March 2021 14:12 (three years ago) link

Certainly feels northern European but something doesn't look quite right for England, I might be wrong

or something, Monday, 1 March 2021 14:50 (three years ago) link

It does looks like England. Stafford's not a city though.

Punk's not daft (Tom D.), Monday, 1 March 2021 14:52 (three years ago) link

I did wonder about that. It has that central England feel to it though. Stoke-on-Trent?

Sven Vath's scary carpet (Neil S), Monday, 1 March 2021 14:54 (three years ago) link

Holy shit, that was a lucky drop. Tampere, Finland

Great!
I was wondering about the church/tower's shape on the left but I didn't see any cyrillic on the bridge's sign (...ITTI) or the building on the left (...OSIA) but it's not far from Russia after all

StanM, Monday, 1 March 2021 15:13 (three years ago) link

nice, that white building does look Nordic

it's the UK, and pretty sure I've driven through that junction, or one just like it, is it Liverpool?

Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 5 March 2021 19:38 (three years ago) link

My first thought was Leeds

calzino, Friday, 5 March 2021 19:41 (three years ago) link

actually scratch Leeds, the junction approaching Beeston I was thinking of has a view of the ugly Leeds skyline.
