Thursday

cherry blossom, Thursday, 8 July 2021 16:01 (two years ago) link

... I have no idea why but it doesn't feel un-British to me?

Does anyone know what kind of sport is played on that court in the right-hand side? Doesn't look like tennis (no net) or basketball (no hoop).

buildings and tv aerials look extremely british to me. but the amount of trees outside the town (an entire hill!) seems wrong for the UK.

I think the only bit of Britain where cities could look remotely like that would be South Wales

Pontypridd, not a city but who cares!

nice! the trees rule out pretty much all of england but i literally forgot about the existence of wales haha.

OMG! So fast! How? :-)

It just looked like the Welsh valleys, I went out with a girl from Aberdare and have family friends from Llantwit Fardre so I'm reasonably familiar with the area. The cities are a bit far out of the valleys to look like that and I know cherry blossom has played fast and loose with the definition before so I started gising the towns. The beige and blue flats were in the 2nd image for Pontypridd. The train station must be just out of shot

amazing! Well done :)

StanM, Thursday, 8 July 2021 18:11 (two years ago) link

Didn't expect that one to fall quite so easily!

cherry blossom, Thursday, 8 July 2021 18:20 (two years ago) link

The train station is in shot, but behind the shed

Tin City Alaska has a population of 0 and thats a city it even says so in the name. And if Tin City is a city then Pontypridd must be one too

interesting square building built around a hill in the distance

koogs, Monday, 12 July 2021 11:26 (two years ago) link

what's that red-outlined black object (building?) right above the straw hat?

cable car :)

nashwan, Monday, 12 July 2021 11:46 (two years ago) link

I'm thinking Manila

nashwan, Monday, 12 July 2021 11:49 (two years ago) link

def looks like it, now for the spot

also because ^^^

or maybe not, because a system like

spoke too soon either way

please ignore

manilla looks too built up for that picture.

is it the decommisioned Rio cable cars? they look similar in shape and colour. no idea about the vie though.

koogs, Monday, 12 July 2021 14:39 (two years ago) link

Caracas?

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Monday, 12 July 2021 14:46 (two years ago) link

I think I have significantly underestimated how far away Caracas is from the water.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Monday, 12 July 2021 14:49 (two years ago) link

so we're on a mountain, the sun is setting behind us = the city is to the east of the mountain and further away there's this very big white fortification type thing with a mountain/hill inside of it? Intriguing and no idea.

StanM, Monday, 12 July 2021 16:26 (two years ago) link

Hong Kong

heyy nineteen, that's john belushi (the table is the table), Monday, 12 July 2021 17:05 (two years ago) link

is there a part of Hong Kong with so few skyscrapers?

StanM, Monday, 12 July 2021 17:45 (two years ago) link

the high-rises don't look extremely new like they would do in China

StanM, Tuesday, 13 July 2021 08:24 (two years ago) link

There sure are a lot of cities with cable cars in the world.

This is quite a good article on the subject, though no help in the matter at hand: https://howwegettonext.com/cable-cars-are-changing-the-world-61f2b803c129

At Easter I had a fall. I don't know whether to laugh or cry (ledge), Tuesday, 13 July 2021 09:09 (two years ago) link

They’re very common as transport in mountainous cities, but mostly inland, which makes me wonder whether this could be a tourist one.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Tuesday, 13 July 2021 09:15 (two years ago) link

That white fortification/palace/building complex in the distance must be something famous, no? Why can't I find anything about it

StanM, Tuesday, 13 July 2021 09:16 (two years ago) link

man - I thought - what if we're in a lake! Big city in a lake? But then I found out the lake beneath Mexico City has been filled up centuries ago :-/

how old is this photo? ;-)

StanM, Tuesday, 13 July 2021 09:26 (two years ago) link

It was one of those articles about funiculars that made me think it could be Hong Kong...looks like the terrain and whatnot is very similar to the Ngong Ping 360.

heyy nineteen, that's john belushi (the table is the table), Tuesday, 13 July 2021 10:50 (two years ago) link

i think it's somewhere in indonesia

Linda and Jodie Rocco (map), Tuesday, 13 July 2021 12:19 (two years ago) link

ha nevermind, the foliage isn't right for it

Linda and Jodie Rocco (map), Tuesday, 13 July 2021 12:20 (two years ago) link

it could be Korea? Seoul's cityscape is similar, but it's not big enough for there, so... Daegu perhaps?

Neil S, Tuesday, 13 July 2021 12:44 (two years ago) link

feels like the port on the left is too big to be that far inland, but SK does have a lot of cities near the sea, good idea

StanM, Tuesday, 13 July 2021 12:59 (two years ago) link

mmmmm - Busan immediately doesn't feel very wrong

StanM, Tuesday, 13 July 2021 13:02 (two years ago) link

It does seem like there are at least a few South Korean cities with cable car installations not unlike the one in the photo.

o. nate, Tuesday, 13 July 2021 20:06 (two years ago) link

I give up :-(

StanM, Thursday, 15 July 2021 04:01 (two years ago) link

I think I see Chinese characters in signs. I'm thinking maybe Taiwan now..
