doesn't ring a bell & that RP logo isn't easily found on google either (or I'm doing it wrong)

StanM, Monday, 13 September 2021 09:51 (two years ago) link

can't find it either on google or yandex.

sign probably saying 'SALE' in the window suggests an english speaking country.

Schadowstraße 68, 40212 Düsseldorf, Germany

I think it might be a Uniqlo now.

damn, just found it myself!

The anglicism 'Sale' replaced the German words 'Sommerschlussverkauf' and 'Winterschlussverkauf' a while ago, much to the relief of German sign-writers.

I recognised the store logo, but was beaten to the punch on Düsseldorf.

The premises in Schadowstraße is now an opticians, I think: https://ergra-low-vision.de/

I thought it was Sonderangebot!

Good find, but I was also looking for the identity of the man

No idea, but I'd move there in a heartbeat

Thinking China

looks somewhere equatorial and colonial but i don't see any mosques. maybe somewhere like macau but the towers aren't big enough.

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Wednesday, 15 September 2021 20:05 (two years ago) link

It’s so flat!

Porking level G4 (Boring, Maryland), Wednesday, 15 September 2021 20:47 (two years ago) link

Yeah, not Macau because there isn't a weird space needle thing, and this isn't taken from the weird space needle thing

I still think it's China. In most countries a river that size would allow you to narrow it down to coastal cities, but not China. Doesn't look muddy enough to be the Yellow River or the Yangtze at least

is the ultra modern looking thing on the left a stadium or a train station?
+ these very colorful buildings in the front, a circus tent - amusement park maybe?

StanM, Thursday, 16 September 2021 15:00 (two years ago) link

Architecture in the foreground doesn't look Chinese to me. Unless maybe it is a college campus deliberately designed to look Western or something.

o. nate, Thursday, 16 September 2021 18:36 (two years ago) link

The groupings of distant buildings remind me strikingly of South Korea

what's fgti up to these days? nothing. she's fake (flamboyant goon tie included), Thursday, 16 September 2021 18:54 (two years ago) link

Dnipro, Ukraine?

Porking level G4 (Boring, Maryland), Thursday, 16 September 2021 19:29 (two years ago) link

I was going to say, looks a bit like one of those previous photos that turned out to be in the Ukraine or Russia.

o. nate, Thursday, 16 September 2021 19:31 (two years ago) link

Looks more like Kiev tbh, the island in the middle matches up with maps in a certain way.

something distinctive at the very far left (when I zoom in).. the white space odyssey bldg

I was looking at Kiev too but it it has more topography.

Porking level G4 (Boring, Maryland), Friday, 17 September 2021 02:46 (two years ago) link

I could be totally wrong since I don't see any onion domes.

Porking level G4 (Boring, Maryland), Friday, 17 September 2021 02:47 (two years ago) link

Can't find the aerial shot but I really want to go to northern China now. It's Harbin

great find - I had been looking at big cities on rivers near the sea in the South but had given up

StanM, Friday, 17 September 2021 09:24 (two years ago) link

I was switching between the south and the north and the Russia comments above made me refocus on the north

Well done. Was hoping to get some idea of what all those russian style buildings are, they're not identified in google maps itself but I found a user review: Located in the Sun Island Scenic Area, Russian-style Town is a Russian-themed tourist spot and sightseeing area. The town retains a few dozen Russian-style villas and private residences. You can walk into these buildings for a visit.

The space age building on the far left, however, is completely unmarked.

ledge, Friday, 17 September 2021 09:37 (two years ago) link

The space age building is Harbin Grand Theatre

scroll left for a headless person with another tiny person in their rucksack.

ledge, Friday, 17 September 2021 09:41 (two years ago) link

Wow I was sure that it wasn't China.

I wouldn't be so keen on moving to Harbin, it gets real cold there in the winter.

edited to reflect developments which occurred (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Friday, 17 September 2021 09:41 (two years ago) link

Smashed it!

The aerial photo is super close to the icy river one you found, a bit to the NW next to Harbin Polarland

cherry blossom, Friday, 17 September 2021 09:41 (two years ago) link

And yeah it does share strange similarities with the Dnipro aerial shot from the other time!

cherry blossom, Friday, 17 September 2021 13:17 (two years ago) link

Interesting.. so the architecture was done deliberately to evoke a Russian appearance. Nice find.

o. nate, Friday, 17 September 2021 13:42 (two years ago) link

Missed this one but, yep, Harbin was mostly built by Russian railway workers and, though it has obviously changed a lot, the historical buildings (and faux historical ones) often have a heavy Russian influence.

I can do no more than state the obvious and say that it's the UK and probably England.
