Guess the City

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)

are we on a roof or parking garage? the first structure with the door could be airco and the bigger one maybe the top of an elevator/staircase shaft?

found this article which i'm fairly certain is the storefront: https://www.infomediaire.net/decathlon-ouvre-son-plus-grand-magasin-dafrique-a-casablanca/?fbclid=IwAR0vkbfPfywMIpPes5q81Rla0RX91VxtzEhuW4O75g0-fbQ_sop217NWxmY

gives us the strange glass structure in front

that picture looks like it yes - but is that the new store? Can't seem to find the actual picture/location (it's too new for Google maps I think?)

I think it should have the location below the DECATHLON and I don't think that says Ain Diab or Corniche or Casablanca...

maybe it's a Decathlon stock photo?

but we ARE on a building with a glass round roof type thing (look in the reflection)

... still no idea though :(

Lyon:

high five!

Alright - how? It looks like that roof top isn't a parking spot anymore in the latest google aerial photo?

nice!

I just went through the list of locations on the Decathlon website. Unfortunately no photos are provided, but I tried to find ones that seemed to be inside malls, judging from the address, and then checked them out on street view. It was hard to find a street view on the roof of that mall in Lyon, but an interior pic showed the skylight from below, so I thought I was on the right track.
