i think the logos on the wall are the same as the one in the O. and i thought N but W might be closer.

> is that a picture of a mascot?

a cartoon bird on the tv inside?

I don't know how temporary this corridor is - at first I thought: very, but then... that pipe top left, they cut out part of the blue wall for that - it's no longer something that can be just deconstructed & used elsewhere now

(in short: we still don't have a clue :-) )

StanM, Saturday, 18 December 2021 09:37 (two years ago) link

something like... a hospital being rebuilt = this corridor is a semi-permanent construction that will be used for several years?

StanM, Saturday, 18 December 2021 09:39 (two years ago) link

The big heaters make me think people aren't passing through the corridor quickly, they'd be in a slow line. I also thought vaccination center, but there would probably be markers on the floor for 6 foot distancing.

Looks like a sports or convention center facility. The flag/banner below the "TO" looks like the Pittsburg Penguins mascot, maybe this is an adjacent gym?

nickn, Saturday, 18 December 2021 19:31 (two years ago) link

- I don't know what we're looking at there but I don't see a penguin in that?
- Aldo said: "The door is tied back with something printed, the right hand one maybe ends DAS or OAS" - I think I see a CAOU.. or CHOU.. ?

StanM, Sunday, 19 December 2021 19:21 (two years ago) link

the blue doors in the distance - yeah, they feel like something you could have at a big convention center or sports arena indeed

StanM, Sunday, 19 December 2021 19:22 (two years ago) link

... I don't think we'll get it with this one pic, to be honest.

wow.

Good effort. I can see the trident of the W in the O now I've seen the logo.

the penguin is not a penguin

koogs, Monday, 20 December 2021 16:44 (two years ago) link

wow indeed!

kinder, Monday, 20 December 2021 18:18 (two years ago) link

I had actually been looking at sports stadiums in San Diego because I thought I had a colour match but without luck.

The penguin is not what it seems.

nickn, Monday, 20 December 2021 20:09 (two years ago) link

omg! well done :-)

StanM, Monday, 20 December 2021 20:21 (two years ago) link

This is the Penguins I saw, the eyes seem to be there, thought the real mascot has a wider beak.

Nicely taken. Got. off to a good start then the trail seemed to go cold as confidence waned, until tomorrow came on in the second half and smashed it in from distance at first time of asking, nae doubt about that one

A view for the Christmas break

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Friday, 24 December 2021 13:17 (two years ago) link

Not sure why I'm thinking this looks British?

StanM, Friday, 24 December 2021 14:29 (two years ago) link

That looks like a number of atations on the Merseyrail network

ignore the blue line (or something), Friday, 24 December 2021 14:48 (two years ago) link

there's only 67 stations :-/

StanM, Friday, 24 December 2021 15:00 (two years ago) link

It's not the first one i thought it might be

ignore the blue line (or something), Friday, 24 December 2021 15:16 (two years ago) link

Which is St Michael's, so that narrows it down a bit

ignore the blue line (or something), Friday, 24 December 2021 15:17 (two years ago) link

And i think Merseyrail colouring is generally yellow rather than blue

ignore the blue line (or something), Friday, 24 December 2021 16:17 (two years ago) link

aren't the blue things a bit... overkill? are the walls protected maybe? monument?

StanM, Friday, 24 December 2021 18:48 (two years ago) link

I'd have thought it's a ramp down into a cutting

ignore the blue line (or something), Friday, 24 December 2021 23:05 (two years ago) link

Looking again at the steps it might be a slight optical illusion and we're actually heading down towards the station building

ignore the blue line (or something), Friday, 24 December 2021 23:08 (two years ago) link

Definitely heading downward. I don't have time at the moment, but there's this if anyone wants to take a stab at it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_underground_stations_of_the_Merseyrail_network

(Sorry if that violates rules! I just think it's an interesting sub-category in and of itself, and I'm not even from the UK)

There are no rules except at Christmas when you have to wear a Santa hat

Guess the city
A station and some railings for you,
In blue
Worked my way through the list
Guess the city
And click around streetview tonight

kinder, Saturday, 25 December 2021 19:30 (two years ago) link

it looks cold and rainy - does that narrow it down?

StanM, Saturday, 25 December 2021 19:36 (two years ago) link

gave up looking at merseyside ones, seem to be mostly yellow rails

Ste, Saturday, 25 December 2021 19:39 (two years ago) link

It's definitely England

Alternative Ulsterbus, Sunday, 26 December 2021 02:19 (two years ago) link

Feel like the brick colour is a clue. Complicated, expensive eaves. Loads of trains on the schedule, has to be London surely? But I'm also getting a Sheffieldous vibe

Alternative Ulsterbus, Sunday, 26 December 2021 02:27 (two years ago) link

i feel like it's London but somewhere outer based on the size, but well connected based on the departures board.

board has long names and short names on it. different directions? can't see any tube termini with names that short though, looks like only 4 or 5 letters.

koogs, Sunday, 26 December 2021 07:57 (two years ago) link

Greater Manchester stations use the blue colour scheme but not finding anything as yet

Nottingham

Nedlene Grendel as Basenji Holmo (map), Sunday, 26 December 2021 16:52 (two years ago) link

is it?

StanM, Tuesday, 28 December 2021 14:20 (two years ago) link

Could be Scotland - Scotrail stations have blue all over like that. Feel like the key to this would be finding the route that fits the station name lengths on the screen, but can't be bothered with that right now.

Eyeball Kicks, Friday, 31 December 2021 03:01 (two years ago) link

It's destinations, I guess, not points on a route.

Eyeball Kicks, Friday, 31 December 2021 03:04 (two years ago) link

I bet it's Falkirk or Coatbridge Sunnyside. Something like that. If they are cities. Which they're not.

Eyeball Kicks, Friday, 31 December 2021 03:07 (two years ago) link

I has an instinct of Scotland when I first saw it. But my instincts usually, erm, stinc.

Part II

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Saturday, 1 January 2022 15:23 (two years ago) link

Doesn't look like Scotland to me, still think Greater Manchester feels right but I've checked nearly every station

ignore the blue line (or something), Saturday, 1 January 2022 15:38 (two years ago) link

Expanding my Greater Manchester search to include non-city Stockport has come up with the goods
