Boom! Nice work. How did you find it?

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.

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

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

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

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

(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

Is that too low definition for everybody?

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.

Cheers caek, what did I wrong for next time?

Klagenfurt it is lol, back to the drawing board. How did you get it?

or something, Monday, 29 March 2021 18:46 (three years ago) link

If thats the UK I'm an extra in Bosom-On-Manor II

"landesmuseum"

π” π”žπ”’π”¨ (caek), Monday, 29 March 2021 18:46 (three years ago) link

GIS'd "Landesmuseum" and it was on the first page of answers, fortunately.

Cheers caek, what did I wrong for next time?

Can't believe I missed Landesmuseum, embarrassing rookie error

I thought it said Norsmuseum so I googled that (unsuccessfully).

I got 20 of 21 on that NYTimes thing, but I've also lived in a lot of different parts of the US, and if I haven't, I've been through them. My years of vagabondage pay off in such weird knowledge, I guess.

it's like edging for your mind (the table is the table), Monday, 29 March 2021 19:00 (three years ago) link

Not Nottingham.

xp

joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Monday, 29 March 2021 19:00 (three years ago) link

That is definitely godawful enough to be the UK.

Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Monday, 29 March 2021 19:03 (three years ago) link

100% the UK. Should be able to get the streetview for this one I think

Walks back overconfidence

cherry blossom, Monday, 29 March 2021 19:11 (three years ago) link

this is definitely the UK

Gammon-on-Brexit

but could equally be

or

The normal rule of thumb for the UK is, if it looks like nowhere and everywhere at the same time then its Stoke On Trent

cherry blossom, Monday, 29 March 2021 19:18 (three years ago) link

Not Stoke-on-Trent. It is a city, though, not a town.

joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Monday, 29 March 2021 19:20 (three years ago) link

No, if it looks like nowhere and everywhere at the same time - but worse - then its Stoke On Trent.

Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Monday, 29 March 2021 19:20 (three years ago) link

Looks like Manchester with the motorway right up next to terraces, if that is a motorway

or something, Monday, 29 March 2021 19:21 (three years ago) link

sheffield IMO

π” π”žπ”’π”¨ (caek), Monday, 29 March 2021 19:23 (three years ago) link

Not Manchester or Sheffield.

joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Monday, 29 March 2021 19:23 (three years ago) link

sheffield IMO

You answer Sheffield for every city!

cherry blossom, Monday, 29 March 2021 19:28 (three years ago) link

Hereford?

calzino, Monday, 29 March 2021 19:31 (three years ago) link

eventually it's going to be sheffield. too late to change now.

π” π”žπ”’π”¨ (caek), Monday, 29 March 2021 19:32 (three years ago) link

Not Hereford. Y'all need to look further south.

joni mitchell jarre (anagram), Monday, 29 March 2021 19:32 (three years ago) link

Southampton.
