Guess the City

italian tow-away sign

i'm guessing it's northern italy based on the evergreens?

maybe not tho idk

Yes looking a lot less southern in this pic. It looks like a new-build train station somewhere rural, presumably just outside a city. I don't know about Italy, but in France, the newer TGV lines often have their stations somewhere rural, a short drive from the town/city it's associated with. Maybe Italy has something similar so we'd be looking at a relatively recently built high-speed rail station.

I may be wrong but the structure on the right (second pic) looks like a passageway for people and bikes to jump over a main road or highway, with the separators in the middle. Autostrada signs are green in Italy though.
Climate looks too dry for Northern Italy on first pic (olive trees and cacti, dry river). Pretty derelict infrastructure too.

Doesn't southern Spain have a lot of those unfinished type "oops, we went bankrupt before we could finish building your holiday villa" type regions?

Oh man, I have BEEN in the roundabout in Oroville— I lived in Chico for a while, I immediately recognized it.

I still don't know what I'm looking at here I'm afraid - a raised railway viaduct over maybe flood plains? (but the houses and this road are on this level too) & the Harm Chef graffiti doesn't ring a bell either :(

Looks like a stadium in the distance from the view under the bridge (white curved spires). Photo above possibly at same stadium.

We're in Bari

Streetview of III

That tow sign really helped here - I initially thought Zaragoza or similar but watching too much GeoWizard has got me inspecting motorway furniture and whatnot these days and that seemed to indicate Italy also. Had to check various stadio and it's not such an obvious one as the club's no Serie A mainstay.

Take II

I kept looking at Bari but obviously not hard enough. Well done!

The stadium was in all four pics!

kick ass! I was still clueless

Around the way

Germany somewhere?

without googling street signs it looks a little like zagreb or belgrade

photo looks too recent to be germany

xp also italy but those apartment blocks look post-soviet to me? scrub and trees in the far left bg feel north mediterranean. but also far enough south for non-sloped roofs.

the chevrons are wrong for italy as well

I think the hills in the background look a bit too dry and scrubby to be Germany. I'm wondering about the south of France? Several towns in that region have tram/light rail networks, and I think that's a tram station to the left of the roundabout. France also has red chevron signs. The apartment blocks do look a bit Soviet, but I've seen similar in Marseille.

Peugeot and a Citröen in the traffic, the sign at the left says something like "emergence" if I squint.

Yep I thought I made out a "ce" ending there as well which is obviously common in French.

I tried a free online ai ocr site for the text on the left:

> photo looks too recent to be germany

did germany disappear?

yes it disappeared from street view. there is not much coverage of germany and what does exist dates from 2011 or earlier.

french roundabouts seem to have white arrows on a round blue sign instead of chevrons

croatia definitely has (some) trams and red arrows on their roundabouts.

I want to say Poland because that roundabout's construction is similar to this one that got memed when a car flew over it, but drawing blanks rn.

good pick up

also what the car had

indeed

i want to drive round and round that thing for hours while Daft Punk 'Around the World' plays on repeat

or minutes, at the very least.

III

Second pic looks very distinctive - unusual hill, parallel roads with a tram track in the middle, maybe railway sidings off to the side and a power plant in the distance? I'm not about to trawl over all of europe or even croatia (my personal guess) for it.

so II is a view of the roundabout in I, and maybe III is on the roof of II?

No GeoWizard, no credibility.

I love that this thread still moves at the same pace as chess by post.

Post between nebulae.

Yellow plant bottom right is I think Herb Bennett which makes it NA or Europe.

Tattoo seems to read "I love my Momy". Can't find a reference to an area which uses that as a common term so is it maybe a reference to the French Pyrenean town?

Just so there's a guess out there I'm going to say the biggest city closest to Momy which is Bayonne.
