yeah cats in a cemetery always makes me think of la recoleta first, though cats in a cemetery seems to be a common thing. ive never been to buenos aires incidentally, but i did plan a solo trip there many moons ago, and have read up on the city a bit

Yep Recoleta! A place I have been but donโ€™t think I formed particularly strong memories of. Are you supposed to remember things?

Looking at pictures does bring the memories back. Itโ€™s very prestigious real estate, with cats.

Canon in Deez (silby), Friday, 26 March 2021 23:44 (three years ago) link

I think I saw a cat inside of a glass-doored crypt in there

This can likely be reverse image searched very easily but I am sure ye can work it out without that.

Itโ€™s not Nottingham.

Warsaw.

Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Saturday, 27 March 2021 10:55 (three years ago) link

Correct!

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Saturday, 27 March 2021 11:03 (three years ago) link

did this building by some miracle survive ww2 or was it rebuilt?

calzino, Saturday, 27 March 2021 11:14 (three years ago) link

Itโ€™s Warsaw University of Technology which was damaged in the war and restored in the fifties, I think, with a glass roof added later.

Itโ€™s really impressive.

I kinda want to know what prompted caek to suggest Nottingham.

First time I've got one! What a beautiful building.

Am I OK to post an image?

Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Saturday, 27 March 2021 15:27 (three years ago) link

As in, I've never quite worked out what the rules are (or if there are any!).

Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Saturday, 27 March 2021 15:27 (three years ago) link

I think the only "rule" (unspoken) is to not post a new image until the current one has been guessed, so you're good to go!

rob, Saturday, 27 March 2021 15:34 (three years ago) link

OK, cheers! Absolutely someone will get this right away because I've missed some sigh saying the name in massive capital letters...

Some sign[ ffs.

Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Saturday, 27 March 2021 15:42 (three years ago) link

Bridgetown, Barbados is my first thought.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Saturday, 27 March 2021 15:58 (three years ago) link

Not a million miles away but not Barbados, no.

Curaรงao?

StanM, Saturday, 27 March 2021 17:37 (three years ago) link

I mean, there is that famous harbour view of Willemstad with the painted houses - but the mountain in the background, no idea

StanM, Saturday, 27 March 2021 17:38 (three years ago) link

Curacao just dished out a 5-0 spanking of Saint Vincent & the Grenadines the other night

calzino, Saturday, 27 March 2021 18:10 (three years ago) link

Thought it might be Bo Kaap in Cape Town but perhaps not quite colourful enough and that's not quite Table Mountain

or something, Saturday, 27 March 2021 18:23 (three years ago) link

Mindelo

Mindelo, Cabo Verde islands

or something, Saturday, 27 March 2021 18:30 (three years ago) link

Boom! Nice work. How did you find it?

Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Saturday, 27 March 2021 18:56 (three years ago) link

A fair bit of image searching "colourful buildings africa coast"

or something, Saturday, 27 March 2021 19:27 (three years ago) link

Had a dream that I posted an image here and no one got it after weeks of guesses.

it's like edging for your mind (the table is the table), Monday, 29 March 2021 15:27 (three years ago) link

Originally I thought Bozhmy Novmanor but the shade of green on one of the fences didn't feel quite right

cherry blossom, Monday, 29 March 2021 16:50 (three years ago) link

I'd like to post pictures to this thread but I'm a bit of a luddite. What do you guys do, take a screenshot or share a google maps streetview to imgur and then link it?

or something, Monday, 29 March 2021 17:07 (three years ago) link

I take a screenshot and then post to postimg.cc

cherry blossom, Monday, 29 March 2021 17:20 (three years ago) link

possibly of interest to members of this group, some of these are effectively "guess the state"

i was 15 for 21, had a run near the beginning where i got 5 wrong

ใ€ŠMyst1kOblivi0nใ€‹ (jim in vancouver), Monday, 29 March 2021 17:30 (three years ago) link

but they also gave me a part of brooklyn which trump won by 81 points (!!!) which seems tricky

ใ€ŠMyst1kOblivi0nใ€‹ (jim in vancouver), Monday, 29 March 2021 17:33 (three years ago) link

(i am aware there are parts of brooklyn that are mega racist blue lives matter italians and such but having never been to any part of brooklyn i can't really discriminate and it all just looks like brooklyn to me)

15/21 though a good chunk of them were either barely right or close but no

cherry blossom, Monday, 29 March 2021 17:44 (three years ago) link

yeah I was pretty good at guessing the state but not at guessing which parts of Florida went Biden

Thanks cherry blossom

It's fine once I clicked through.

Instinctively thought Denver but those trees look like horse chestnuts so I think somewhere in the UK.

Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Monday, 29 March 2021 18:43 (three years ago) link

they're driving on the right. it's not the uk. and there's a bus lane which makes me think it's not the US.
