Guess the City

I think I found some striped poles

All non-white cars are forbidden in Ashgabat (Turkmenistan) but I don't think this is it

Striped poles for both street signs and lights are very distinctive. Googling around I found striped poles in Kuwait. The blue sign with two indecipherable lines of text - wondering if this is arabic script on top and Roman script underneath

The striped poles I found were in Haifa, near the airport but not had a chance to look properly

I'm not 100% on that cap being a Kippah - could be a Taquiyah or Kufi too?

I see FAH too, and the word underneath looks like "depot."

The area immediately north of Tel Aviv airport is festooned with striped poles. Festooned!

one more before I go to bed:

The land of the stripey pole...

nice one!

That was a good one. I definitely got sidetracked by finding stripey poles in Israel. Haifa and Tel Aviv both felt too busy but they had the striped poles, but weirdly only in certain areas so I felt hmm maybe

Then I looked Jordan, Saudi, Oman and saw the traffic fines photo with the highway overhead and furniture store and it was pretty quick from there

One thing I learned is that Haifa and Tel Aviv both have a lot of tiny roundabouts, that are pretty well decorated

Nice one, was looking for a while like the middle east was a bit of a blind spot for the thread.

Monday SV

Initial thought: those bigger houses feel scandinavian - but it could just as easily be Scotland or something like the flatter parts of Austria, maybe? :-/

Can't quite make out what's on the road (bottom) - xxxT xxNAS ? (west/east something nas?)

Trying to see if the cars drive on the left or right but that three lane road is very confusing - looking at the arrows near the bottom of the pic all three lanes are coming our way, but a bit further away, between the trees, it looks like there's an arrow that splits into left/straight on for traffic coming from where we are - so which is it?

Looks like driving on the left to me, I can't see an arrow indicating the left lane is coming our way, only the one higher up. Can't make out the writing on the road on the right hand lane beyond __Y ___S - any lanes? left turns? Might be a place name instead of an instruction.

I think that's the UK, and it might be Lancaster?

That could be a currys / pc world logo on the left edge in the middle - have looked at a few megastores with no joy though.

The roads and carparks all look very quiet!

Might look silly in a bit but I'm pretty confident that is not the UK. First thought was Scandinavia

If only you'd waited a minute...

Writing on the road says CITY DINAS (city in welsh)!

nice, well done!

Ah man, I was gonna say if it is the UK it could only be Wales, honest! Well done

yeah the last time we had somewhere that looked like england but with trees it was wales.

wooo! nice one!

see, this small arrow to the right (in front of the car) was the one that made me think all three lanes went the same way (it still is, a bit) - but it's a roundabout

Good work on this one , you were correct on the Curry's / PC World logo, and on the DINAS marking - neither of which I had picked up on. True about the tree coverage as well

Yeah I was pretty confident about the currys/pc world, i didn't have the patience to look at every megastore on a map but the white frontage with dark horizontal line is fairly distinctive and luckily it came up in an image search for currys pc world megastore retail park.

― namaste darkness my old friend (ledge)

if you look straight down, the drone is hanging above a small hill with a spiral path that's apparently not labeled on google maps? Is this some kind of prehistoric site?

On openstreetmap it's labelled as white rock park, which led me here http://whiterocktrails.org/ which despite dozens of pages is not super clear on the history of the site, i can't find anything about the mound or paths.

Industrail not prehistoric though.

out on the street

idk but there's a ghost under the pedestrian crossing sign.

Probably a German-speaking location, as the poster has the slogan 'Selbsthilfe'.

Mallorca then?

to the right of the ghost there's an arrow pointing to the right with something that I can't read but it somehow doesn't look like western letters?

The German sign is for a self-help group ('Selbsthilfe') offering support for people with alcohol and prescription drug ('Medikamente') issues.

The eagle logo to the right of it may be the symbol of the self-help group, as the background is the same colour.

There are pedestrian crossing signs like that in Mallorca.

I haven't really found where to go look around yet on Mallorca, to be honest

oh wow! well done!

how did you find it?

Mainly luck, don't really know as I thought I'd start in Germany. I was looking for 'moto' cafe then realised it was Euro Lloto, which are all over. Somehow on Google maps it was showing me different locations with the inside photos - I clicked on a few and one looked like the one in the photo, so clicked around it.
