Guess the City

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:

DUGULONICE REVOCty

> 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?

2024

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.

A second look

Is that a water tower ?
The church at the back looks reasonably old, the climate green and a little dry
Girl looks possibly Eastern European and the necklace not cheap, but that's a wild guess
On the first pic, is that ice tea (Nestea) he's drinking ? The trees look characteristic but I suck at trees

I thought it was ice tea but the bottle is the wrong shape for a big brand and the blue label/green cap feels very odd

On a second look it seems the same shape as a Nestea bottle but not in the label branding they've had since relaunch in 2018.

Agree it's not carbonated because of the cap shape but there seems to be a thin layer of foam on top.

Guess the -city- drink

I’m going to say South America

Absolute eastern euro plains vibes but my dude is making such an effort to rep 90s skate brands (DC shoes hat, vans old skools) in 2024 I could be wrong.

I’d guess the last word of the tattoo is ‘маму’ (mom), so a mixture of English and Russian. On a similar note, I’m pretty sure it is a Nestea bottle but the liquid is too dark, so possibly homemade kvass in a reused bottle.

I could see it being somewhere like Daugavpils.

it kind of looks like my memory of Daugavpils, but I was only there for a day or so almost 20 years ago so my memory might be serving poorly

searching for third gear

For some reason these all feel like Belarus to me.

The car was definitely designed by Elon Musk and goes well with ornamental pan with plastic bottles. Is that a Saab 900 ?
Looks like Cyrillic script on the yellow sign but I can't decipher the letters
I was thinking Estonia on first pic, but Latvia would fit these communist bricks even better

Are those yellow pipes for gas ?

That's a Lada 110

Time for lunch

Wondering why a works canteen would be a clue and given all the rest seems to point to Ukraine, and the canteen looks vaguely like I remember it, fuck it I'm going to say Chornobyl.
