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

чуваш: Chuvash
чувак: Chuvak (Dude)

Is that a cricket pitch/ground/field?

Bangalore

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

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

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:

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?

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

Friday

cherry blossom, Friday, 5 March 2021 19:35 (three years ago) link

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.

calzino, Friday, 5 March 2021 19:53 (three years ago) link

nottingham?

nxd, Friday, 5 March 2021 19:55 (three years ago) link

Dont think its liverpool, looks a bit like edge lane but too hilly. Reminds me of Birmingham

or something, Friday, 5 March 2021 20:09 (three years ago) link

bleak image, no wonder post-punk sounds like that

Guayaquil (eephus!), Friday, 5 March 2021 20:26 (three years ago) link

Oxford?

Glasgow? The houses in the distance look Scottish.

that looks like the A38 into bristol

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Friday, 5 March 2021 21:42 (three years ago) link

it does look a bit bleak for the south. don't recognize the junction, but ... sheffield?

Yes, that might be what I'm thinking of!

Got it, heading into Bradford

or something, Friday, 5 March 2021 23:08 (three years ago) link

Stupid question but are you manually blurring the number plates or are these from google street view?

that's not my post, Saturday, 6 March 2021 01:42 (three years ago) link

They're from google streetview, which autoblurs number plates (at least most of the time). Images are as is!

cherry blossom, Saturday, 6 March 2021 12:59 (three years ago) link

oh I knew I'd seen it before. I made several journeys through that junction taking my dog to the Bradford PDSA a couple of years back.
