what gave it away, or did you know the place?

StanM, Monday, 5 September 2022 12:26 (one year ago) link

just cropped and yandexed the tower, which eventually brought up this pic https://www.flickr.com/photos/james_mann/15655889666/

ok, so it says "dajemo" on the banner in the back, which Google translate tells me is Croatian (and in Latin script, so not Serbian etc.) but the shirt says "FK Something" and Croatian teams are NK not FK. Hm.

I think it's Bosnia (BH Telecom on that banner if I'm not mistaken), and FK does seem to be their version of FC

rob, Monday, 12 September 2022 13:45 (one year ago) link

So it's Tuzla, apparently the third-largest city in Boznia.

Nice work - I was busy looking at Karlovac in Croatia because the coat of arms on the logo we can see front and centre looks like it might be this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karlovačko, but it's an international brand by the looks.

Glad someone got that, I'd forgotten where it was, looks to be correct though!

I had the image saved from some time previously, and must have rejected it for the one of the two women at the water park instead

taking a hard line on local rivals Nancy there, a piece of graffito which immediately made me assume it was an Anglophone country

Critique of the Goth Programme (Neil S), Wednesday, 14 September 2022 12:44 (one year ago) link

it took me 2mn once i saw the tag, cos of fcsm which is french football club fc sochaux montbéliard, the nancy being fucked is fc nancy, so i started looking for football pitches in sochaux

Jibe, Wednesday, 14 September 2022 12:46 (one year ago) link

sorry the other club is as nancy lorraine, not fc nancy

Jibe, Wednesday, 14 September 2022 12:48 (one year ago) link

Good work! Thats what I assumed but sometimes there are unexpected routes

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 14 September 2022 12:52 (one year ago) link

damnit i googled 'ecsm' and found another french club, Entente Chateauneuf Saint Marcel. well done!

ledge, Wednesday, 14 September 2022 12:53 (one year ago) link

I thought about cropping it so it just had 'Fuck Nancy' and no fcsm but then it was too constrained an image

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 14 September 2022 12:57 (one year ago) link

there I was thinking it said “Fuck NanoX”, which would surely also have made sense to someone

my hours and hours of watching ligue 1 paid off big time

cherry blossom, hearing that you thought about cropping out half that tag makes me really curious about how you select the images you post. also thanks for keeping this thread alive, i really enjoy it even though i don't often get the chance to guess.

Jibe, Wednesday, 14 September 2022 14:48 (one year ago) link

impressive

Purely on a whim.

In this particular case I was on a run this morning and it suddenly hit me that I had no idea where in France Sochaux actually is, or even if that was the name of a city or part of a city

I had a look on streetview when I got in and landed on the graffiti and immediately thought of this thread

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 14 September 2022 16:57 (one year ago) link

Ok, let's have a go then.

too easy, apparently! how did you get it?

Looked like a mural about industrial action/workers rights, found a guy who worked in those colours and the style looked right, he's only got three or four famous works.

If you look closely it's made by chipping chunks out of the whitewashed wall

I got to it via image search for "portugal mural" and there was a mymodernist link to a healthcare mural by same guy (Vhils)

Britain! Yellow back plates. But other than that, no idea.

StanM, Monday, 19 September 2022 15:28 (one year ago) link

netherlands also has yellow plates but this looks too dreary to be anything but britain

ciderpress, Monday, 19 September 2022 16:04 (one year ago) link

those flats look like many in the central belt of Scotland

or something, Monday, 19 September 2022 17:27 (one year ago) link

definitely getting scotland vibes

micah, Tuesday, 20 September 2022 02:29 (one year ago) link

I think it's Wolverhampton judging by the church, but I'm having trouble replicating that view

Critique of the Goth Programme (Neil S), Tuesday, 20 September 2022 10:08 (one year ago) link

Britain! Yellow back plates.

how on earth can you even detect that? what computers/phones/other gear do you people all have?

I opened the pic in a separate tab on my PC and zoomed in a bit? No fancy graphics workstation, just a pc

StanM, Tuesday, 20 September 2022 16:03 (one year ago) link

i concur on Wolverhampton. the indoor market building also visible and the relative positions of both suggest the view is from somewhere between the stadium and the university. the forklift might give it away.

koogs, Tuesday, 20 September 2022 17:42 (one year ago) link

isn't Wolverhampton flatter than this? I can't seem to make it work

StanM, Tuesday, 20 September 2022 18:36 (one year ago) link

Wolverhampton is much flatter. I think the photo is further north than that.
