my brain is having a hard time comprehending how the door on the left connects with the brickwork.
― Ste, Wednesday, 18 May 2022 14:51 (one year ago) link
The building on the left clearly needs that alarm system, doesn't it.+ what a mysterious row of windows to the right - with the red panels. Not garage doors... - also that very high light pole straight ahead, there must be a big area there I suppose?
― StanM, Wednesday, 18 May 2022 14:59 (one year ago) link
the gray bit of building sticking out on the right is pretty distinctive too, imho
― StanM, Wednesday, 18 May 2022 15:00 (one year ago) link
I'm guessing the red brick building is a car park. Looks like there are about ten thousand modern red brick car parks in the uk. The building reflected in the window with the vertical fluting is also pretty standard issue.

I think there’s a playground at the far end of the park. Not that it narrows down the location too much.

ftom what I gather, the double yellow kerbside is also used in Ireland (I’m ruling out former BE places like Malta, S’pore and Malaysia here)

not sure if that is a saltire above the door but that building does feel Scottish. pic reminds me of some places in Glasgow

Definitely reminds me of Glasgow too, but I don't recognise it at all.

Lots of Soviet-style housing blocks. One building I can see that might conceivable be a church, otherwise no churches. Main road in pretty poor condition. Cars look like they're driving on the right. Huge gash in the landscape on the left, looks like it might be an old open-cut mine or something. Couple of power plant type buildings. I'm guessing one of the poorer ex-Soviet countries.

intriguing indeed - I was convinced it could be Asbest but I can't make it work I think

The more I stare at that second photo, the more it looks like some kind of Lynchian hell. What's with the light switch that has no switch? The creepy pictures on the wall, of birds and cows? Why the shelf of rolled towels, in what looks like a bar/restaurant? The cowbells, the sad pot plant, the surveillance camera on the wonky ceiling?
― Zelda Zonk, Monday, 6 June 2022 12:04 (one year ago) link
yeah, the towels... is it the bar/dining area of a Swiss themed sauna/swimming pool?

still focussing on the first pic as the interior ones never do much for me. it's incredibly similar to Kryvyi Rih in Ukraine but while there are hundreds of aerial shots to go off i can't get any of them to line up
