Guess the City

Zoomed in on the map and made out the street name "Race St". Tried a few cities with a Race Street. Got to Cincinnati and got lucky by clicking near Findlay Market right away, noticed the red crossbeam construction and then it was just a matter of clicking nearby until I found the spot.

I need a screen with more pixels, I can't even see Race St now you told me it's there

Yeah I even tried to ENHANCE and was like "Mare St? Mace St? Dace St?"

Perhaps it helped that I downloaded the full image and looked at it in a photo editor rather than in the browser.

So yes, an older US city that doesn't have much going for it!

i assumed it wasn't the US because there was somewhere to sit

fffriday

A shitty resort.

Building top left doesn't look American to me so I think Europe, but obviously not Mediterranean. Woman with daughter looks vaguely East European or at least Middle European. Maybe somewhere on a lake? Or the Black Sea again, like Bulgaria or Romania?

blue and red water slides look pretty big, maybe a dedicated water park kind of thing?

Definitely a permanent park (all the umbrellas, and what looks like a concrete edge in the water area closest to the photographer). In fact, it doesn't look connected to a river or body of water at all because every pool edge I can see is concrete and I see vegetation beyond it.

No real clue where to start looking to be honest - hills, big white buildings in the distance, one of them with something on top maybe (observatory? dome?), a red/white antenna or chimney?
Building on the left looks vaguely Austrian/Swiss/Alpine/Southern Germany? Lady looks kinda Eastern European maybe? But this could just as easily be in South America.

And there are a lot more blue spiral water slides in the world than I thought :-)

is that a coke can on the towel in the foreground? Can't make out letters or logo but could be a clue, don't know?

I'm also thinking that fence is impossibly complicated & could have been much simpler to make but anyway

i'm kind of fascinated by the fence! never seen one quite like it with that mix of rigid palings and weldmesh.

the half hipped roof on the far left might be traceable architecture but i wouldnt know where to start.

I also thought that fence looked crazy complicated. Concrete edge to the water means yes this doesn't have to be near the sea/lake. Top right building still looks middle European to me, but the white apartment block looks wrong for a German city. And given the somewhat East European look of the woman, I'm still thinking that. Maybe Poland or something.

Top left building I meant

oh, you already said that lady looked Eastern European - sorry I repeated that. I guess I agree then :)

Would be amazed if anyone got it on this photo alone though!

that roof type is also called jerkinhead, apparently?

only in the us afaict

Also known as a half hip roof, Wikipedia informs me - common in England, Denmark and Germany, and especially in Austria and Slovenia.

Searching for the largest outdoor swimming pools in Europe has failed to unearth anything up to now

I keep staring at that fence and I wonder if it's 3-in-1 : no slats (just the metal), half filled with slats (like it is now) or completely closed off (stick in more slats in between the ones in the picture).

Unfortunately, looking for "weird multifunctional fences" hasn't gotten me anywhere useful :-)

The fence is a screen door from a Polish submarine…oof I’m funny.

― ignore the blue line (or something)

i don't think its all that large on the scale of european water parks

how does that building next to the lady's head have such a white featureless side on the central tower? I don't understand what's going on there.

Based on what I have seen of these European outdoor pools since searching I'd say it was on par with the big ones. Whilst conceding I'm no expert

it's not easy to judge the scale from the pic but it seems to go back pretty far

I'm talking lidos and swimming pools btw, not man made lakes or anything

it all depends on how short these ladies are.

The combination of the grim fencing and the sheer size makes me think of somewhere like the Moczydło Water Park in Warsaw.

Another view

sladoled = ice cream in croatian, bosnian, slovenian

(closing bracket kills the link but you can click through inside, it's the logo on the umbrellas)

Can't find the ladies but here's an aerial view of the water park. Tuzla, Bosnia

Well done, how did you find it?

great find!

can't find the ladies on Google maps either but this is an alt view from above their location +/-

You rather set it up on a plate, ledge xp

I guess if you had the time and inclination to look through every single water park in Bosnia (and were lucky enough to start there and not Croatia, Slovenia, or Hungary)!

It popped up pretty quickly searching "largest outdoor pool bosnia" and yeah I got lucky picking bosnia first but I didn't think it was Croatia

I deliberated over whether to include the shot with the sladoled in, or whether that should have been a 3rd rather than 2nd pic

That park is one popular spot!

Midweek at the manor

Now to check every branch of Decathlon

They have stores in 56 countries apparently :-/

Most of the UK ones are in out of town retail parks by the looks of it

the black sedan and the hint of radiator grille at the far right don't scream europe to me

otoh the hatchback and panel van do

- sedan: don't know, could be non-european or just something I've not seen much in Belgium
- grille could be an audi
- Renault van, Peugeot hatchback = both French (but that doesn't mean France, obv)
