Well, the ship's the QE2, which doesn't really narrow it down that much really, since it's been everywhere. I'll guess Honolulu.

You usually guess mine instantly, ailsa, but not this time. Here's another angle:

galveston?
― harbl, Monday, 30 November 2009 20:32 (sixteen years ago)
the downtown structure def. looks north american, and that little jetty looks forested, and the light makes it look fairly high latitude, which makes me think it's in canada, but since there are no mountains within ~50 miles of the first shot, it's not vancouver. maybe an atlantic city like halifax? thunder bay?

You're all way off.

A Coruna? Valencia?

perth?

(not the one in scotland)
None of those. I could post a suitably gritty street scene, if you'd prefer to guess from micro rather than macro.
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:03 (sixteen years ago)
i thought maybe it was perth earlier, but it doesn't seem to match the google maps aerial. then i checked all 100K+ cities in new zealand, no go. can you tell us which hemisphere this is in? i've already spent way too much time on this one.
― iiiijjjj, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:05 (sixteen years ago)
yeah post that street scene
― iiiijjjj, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:06 (sixteen years ago)
Yeah, I've just been googling round European ports with no joy.
― ailsa, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:07 (sixteen years ago)
durban?
― caek, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:09 (sixteen years ago)
that looks like a rugby ground to me
the buildings almost look too modern to be a developed european city, plus the stadium in the lower left of the second picture looks like a soccer stadium now that i think about it. so now i think this is def. south america and not def. north america like i thought before.
― iiiijjjj, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:09 (sixteen years ago)
(yes, or "rugby")
― iiiijjjj, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:10 (sixteen years ago)
is it kingston
― harbl, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:10 (sixteen years ago)
I thought it was an athletics ground or a v. old football stadium

damn it
― iiiijjjj, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:18 (sixteen years ago)
Correct ailsa, but caek gets the points!
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:18 (sixteen years ago)
I googled MTN, found they were South African, and went straight for Durban on google maps
(the ground is a cricket ground, btw)
― ailsa, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:19 (sixteen years ago)
Sorry for postponing your moment of triumph, caek, but the street scene picture took about ten minutes to upload - I was bloody well posting it after that wait.
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:20 (sixteen years ago)
Oh, I never even spotted caek saying Durban. FAIL!
― ailsa, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:21 (sixteen years ago)
hahah
― caek, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:23 (sixteen years ago)
someone else post one
― caek, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:24 (sixteen years ago)
i'm on dialup, too slow to go looking for a good one
durban was a really good one, btw.

That's beautiful. I'm bowing out now though, I've got work to get on with - you pesky kids have already cost me an hour.

likewise ismael! and excellent work, caek. i had tried cape town after abandoning canada (???) but then went elsewhere...
― iiiijjjj, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:29 (sixteen years ago)
ailsa yours can be 107 and mine'll be 106.
― iiiijjjj, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:30 (sixteen years ago)
106 almost looks like bristol, but the topography is wrong and they are driving on the right.
― caek, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:31 (sixteen years ago)
omg yes the return of my favorite thread ever wahhhh
― 69, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:32 (sixteen years ago)
107 looks like it's in england (e.g. villa in the bottom right, smallish size of fields in the background), but i don't recognize the river at all, so i guess it's not. hmmm.
― caek, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:34 (sixteen years ago)
106 athens?
― caek, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:35 (sixteen years ago)
107 is Inverness. And I am bowing out now.
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:35 (sixteen years ago)
haha
106 looks Baltic or Scandinavian. Gdansk, maybe?
Ismael, correct, I have no better imagination that to use my home town!
― ailsa, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:36 (sixteen years ago)
yeah, athens was nuts. that's northern europe.
― caek, Monday, 30 November 2009 21:37 (sixteen years ago)
106 nope not athens. gdansk is a gdanswer but you're off by over a thousand miles.
