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.

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?

StanM, Tuesday, 23 November 2021 10:09 (two years ago) link

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

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Thursday, 25 November 2021 08:33 (two years ago) link

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

namaste darkness my old friend (ledge), Thursday, 25 November 2021 08:44 (two years ago) link

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

Portsmouth Bubblejet, Thursday, 25 November 2021 09:13 (two years ago) link

Mallorca then?

StanM, Thursday, 25 November 2021 09:29 (two years ago) link

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?

StanM, Thursday, 25 November 2021 09:36 (two years ago) link

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.

Portsmouth Bubblejet, Saturday, 27 November 2021 12:38 (two years ago) link

There are pedestrian crossing signs like that in Mallorca.

o. nate, Saturday, 27 November 2021 23:47 (two years ago) link

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

oh wow! well done!

StanM, Sunday, 28 November 2021 20:01 (two years ago) link

how did you find it?

StanM, Sunday, 28 November 2021 20:03 (two years ago) link

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.

kinder, Sunday, 28 November 2021 20:09 (two years ago) link

That one went quick - quite a few clues in that photo so I thought it might

I haven't seen a bar showing teletext before

It was just a speculative punt based on what looked like the clock tower in the distance with the submarine hall next to it to the left.

The gut feeling ones are the best ones

ignore the blue line (or something), Monday, 29 November 2021 11:27 (two years ago) link

oosh, that one was well guessed - the feel ones are definitely the best

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Monday, 29 November 2021 15:59 (two years ago) link

omg! world record? :-)

StanM, Monday, 29 November 2021 16:16 (two years ago) link

+ I was today years old when I learned what a submarine hall looks like.

StanM, Monday, 29 November 2021 17:53 (two years ago) link

One lucky guess does not make you as good as the rest of you. I just lurk in case a miracle like this comes up.

I'm busy the rest of the week, happy for anybody else to post the next one.

bridge looks just like the wabash railroad bridge near pittsburgh, but nearby area/street views don't add up
