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

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.

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.

Portsmouth Bubblejet, Thursday, 22 September 2022 07:05 (one year ago) link

Not anywhere specific, but it gave me Scottish central belt vibes at first too. The low stone wall feels more Northern England though somehow.

It's a slightly bleak but comforting vista.

Do we need another hint?

Almost certainly Sheffield, think I know the general area too but need to dig a bit.

Endcliffe/Crooks I reckon

Long enough attention span for a Stephen Bissette blu-ray extra (aldo), Tuesday, 11 October 2022 11:33 (one year ago) link

landscape looks like sheffield. crookes is a good shout. i'm not 100% convinced by the housing, but difficult to see where else it could be. too big for glossop, too hilly for the other cities in that part of the world.

reminded me of bits of lancaster but that's way too big

nxd, Tuesday, 11 October 2022 18:31 (one year ago) link

I hoped there would only be two cobbled streets in Sheffield but no

Reminds me of some views of Bath.

My wife said Bath to be fair, I've just been busy and didn't look into it further.

There is one tower block in Bath and I've just scouted all the straight across crossroads that could face it with no success.

Long enough attention span for a Stephen Bissette blu-ray extra (aldo), Thursday, 13 October 2022 19:50 (one year ago) link

is it bristol aka the sheffield of the south?

Nah, that's not Bristol (he says only to find out he's wrong).

Long enough attention span for a Stephen Bissette blu-ray extra (aldo), Friday, 14 October 2022 07:12 (one year ago) link

There's two somewhat distinctive looking churches in the first pic. The square tower and smoke-blackened exterior of the one on the left are not uncommon, i haven't found anything that really matches the squat character of the one on the right.
