we’re in Poznań!

this is the second view:

the six white towers are part of a speedway stadium:

this is the first view, the stadium/sports ground right next to it:

that would be the speedway stadium, I guess - the first one is an athletics/track & field place

oh whoops lol must have checked every other major polish city besides that one

here’s the third view with the tram stop:

oh wait i see what happened, those tram enclosures are new and only in 2021 footage i was looking at 2019 footage

ciderpress, Saturday, 21 January 2023 19:47 (one year ago) link

that pretty distinct looking white/mint green domed building in the second view is the Church of St. John Vianney:

nice one! I was still in Germany :-(

StanM, Saturday, 21 January 2023 21:18 (one year ago) link

Well done!

ledge, Saturday, 21 January 2023 21:24 (one year ago) link

Glad that ones gone, found it difficult to pick a suitable streetview

The Golecin stadium has some interesting architecture

oh and of course, Lets all do the Poznan, na na na na

Look, and then guess

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Thursday, 26 January 2023 05:03 (one year ago) link

Not much to go on! Romanesque architecture by the looks of it, possibly a castle, but could be just about anywhere in Western or Middle Europe

Zelda Zonk, Thursday, 26 January 2023 05:37 (one year ago) link

it's looking mildly shocked

StanM, Thursday, 26 January 2023 06:16 (one year ago) link

Looks pretty old and tall and like a thick defense structure that was maybe converted in a residence. Given the color of the stone, I'd guess Southern part of Europe.

Nabozo, Thursday, 26 January 2023 08:59 (one year ago) link

I would guess north italy

nxd, Thursday, 26 January 2023 14:11 (one year ago) link

round arches = old
thick walls = old
bricks not irregularly shaped rocks = not as old
+/- modern windows = still lived in?

StanM, Thursday, 26 January 2023 16:53 (one year ago) link

possible that the wall was built earlier, and the gun ports were installed later in life before a final conversion to windows

assert (matttkkkk), Friday, 27 January 2023 06:49 (one year ago) link

with all the repairs, that wall could have been pirated in the past

Many people are saying the first view didn't have much to go on

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Saturday, 28 January 2023 18:32 (one year ago) link

getting Eastern Europe vibes, but I don't know why exactly (could be the South of France just as easily)

StanM, Sunday, 29 January 2023 08:20 (one year ago) link

Great t-shirt game from the dad there

nxd, Sunday, 29 January 2023 16:47 (one year ago) link

three weeks pass...

three

I guess the second pic may have had buildings that one could recognise if they already knew them but this is going back to "not a single thing to go on" territory I'm afraid :(

StanM, Monday, 20 February 2023 10:08 (one year ago) link

How common are 5/6-lamp light poles? Also, the bus shelter on the left has an ad for something featuring a man, and on the right there is some kind of sign, if those particular graphics ring any bells.

nickn, Monday, 20 February 2023 22:21 (one year ago) link

could the sign be a coat of arms? hard to be sure in this resolution.

btw, what do you mean by 5/6-lamp poles? am I missing something?

The "spider"-looking light left of center, one post but 5 or 6 arms with lights on it.

nickn, Monday, 20 February 2023 22:44 (one year ago) link

oh, you’re right - was focusing on the ones on either side of the picture. might be a lead.

let us now celebrate ama ‘piano’ smith & the clowns (breastcrawl), Monday, 20 February 2023 22:54 (one year ago) link

I'm pretty sure that's a sculpture in the middle of the roundabout but I've had no luck searching

assert (matttkkkk), Tuesday, 21 February 2023 00:04 (one year ago) link

I've been to Tallinn 3 times for work and I felt like this looked almost too Soviet to be Estonian but I think I found it, and I think it's Narva.

very good!

found the first view too, it’s the local fortress, Hermann Castle

wow!

StanM, Tuesday, 21 February 2023 07:26 (one year ago) link

'twas a long walk along the river, but here's the second view

I had never heard of Narva before - I am not proud of this fact - but the Today Programme on Radio 4 had a feature from there this morning. IS that a weird coincidence or is Cherry Blossom making the news as well as the GTC thread?

Good work, Narva it is!

Pretty desolate looking place, aside from the main tourist attraction of the castle. And Russia on the other side of the river

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 22 February 2023 02:08 (one year ago) link

Narva feels like a city for cars, but without many cars

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 22 February 2023 08:46 (one year ago) link

I’ve been there and it’s pretty bleak.

ShariVari, Wednesday, 22 February 2023 09:48 (one year ago) link

Its majority Russian there, I believe? Does it feel distinct from rest of Estonia? I read that Daugavpils in Latvia is pretty integrated despite being majority Russian speaking, but not sure on Narva

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 22 February 2023 10:20 (one year ago) link

Yeah, it’s almost entirely Russian-speaking, though signs, shop labelling, etc, legally have to be in Estonian. It feels very different culturally, architecturally and financially from Tallinn and Tartu.

Guess Tne City

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Thursday, 23 February 2023 11:41 (one year ago) link

I believe the parked car is a late-2000s Fiat Punto.

Eyeball Kicks, Thursday, 23 February 2023 16:26 (one year ago) link

that polygonal horse & rider logo on the van looks distinctive.

ledge, Thursday, 23 February 2023 16:46 (one year ago) link

haha, ledge, yes, but that is my contribution
