Ding ding ding Tver it is!

cherry blossom, Friday, 6 March 2020 09:56 (six years ago)

1 is Hong Kong?

the second two are interesting, thinking...

cherry blossom, Friday, 6 March 2020 10:00 (six years ago)

Indeed it is.

median punt (gyac), Friday, 6 March 2020 10:07 (six years ago)

I feel like narrowing down to either Poland or Czechia

cherry blossom, Friday, 6 March 2020 10:08 (six years ago)

I'll have stab in the dark at Wroclaw, but leave it to someone else after that if it isnt!

cherry blossom, Friday, 6 March 2020 10:13 (six years ago)

Nope

median punt (gyac), Friday, 6 March 2020 10:18 (six years ago)

gdansk?

ogmor, Friday, 6 March 2020 10:20 (six years ago)

Yes!

median punt (gyac), Friday, 6 March 2020 10:24 (six years ago)

We're playing on hard mode now?

romanesque architect (pomenitul), Saturday, 7 March 2020 11:01 (six years ago)

Interesting markings!

We can do this!

cherry blossom, Saturday, 7 March 2020 11:09 (six years ago)

I have faith

ShariVari, Saturday, 7 March 2020 11:21 (six years ago)

I have brought in supplies, ordered infra-red goggles and unlocked the cabinet with the antique hunting knife. I'm going in

cherry blossom, Saturday, 7 March 2020 11:23 (six years ago)

The writing at the top isn't quite decipherable. I'd be tempted by Bishkek otherwise. Those markings on the side tho hmm

cherry blossom, Saturday, 7 March 2020 11:29 (six years ago)

The markings on the side are pretty much unique to one city.

ShariVari, Saturday, 7 March 2020 11:39 (six years ago)

Or two cities in the same country to be more accurate.

ShariVari, Saturday, 7 March 2020 12:00 (six years ago)

the only place I've been where there were markings on buildings that seemed like those is Brazil, specifically São Paolo, but that's all I've got.

Joey Corona (Euler), Saturday, 7 March 2020 15:08 (six years ago)

looks a bit like amharic/ge'ez so given the look of the place maybe armenia or albania? tirana? I know they go in for wacky tower block decorations

ogmor, Saturday, 7 March 2020 15:26 (six years ago)

That’s all you need. It’s right.

The graffiti is Pixação.

ShariVari, Saturday, 7 March 2020 15:28 (six years ago)

ha! nice. I saw a lot of it on the interminable (because of traffic) bus ride between São Paolo airport and Campinas. I found it menacing.

Joey Corona (Euler), Saturday, 7 March 2020 15:30 (six years ago)

Well done Euler!

ok if no one else is playing, I think the river one is volgograd but this easier one is much harder. maybe east africa somewhere?

― ogmor,

Good attempt - I think it qualifies as being in that region

cherry blossom, Saturday, 7 March 2020 15:46 (six years ago)

hmm borderline east africa... kampala?

ogmor, Saturday, 7 March 2020 16:28 (six years ago)

no!

cherry blossom, Saturday, 7 March 2020 17:38 (six years ago)

"Easy one": the cars are all white so I assume it's somewhere hot, it looks "inland", I cannot identify the flag for the life of me

meaner stinks meat bake it cone (flamboyant goon tie included), Sunday, 8 March 2020 01:17 (six years ago)

Flag looks most like Guatemala but... that doesn't look like Guatemala (at least not how I'd imagine Guatemala to look like)

meaner stinks meat bake it cone (flamboyant goon tie included), Sunday, 8 March 2020 01:24 (six years ago)

I didn’t notice the flag but it looks like the East African Community one, so if not Kampala, maybe Kigali?

ShariVari, Sunday, 8 March 2020 05:57 (six years ago)

He shoots, he scores!

cherry blossom, Sunday, 8 March 2020 06:17 (six years ago)

There's a good film on Pixacao called Pixadores, for people who are interested

sunday guesser

cherry blossom, Sunday, 8 March 2020 16:45 (six years ago)

A completely wild guess, somewhere in Mexico maybe. Torreón?

ShariVari, Sunday, 8 March 2020 17:06 (six years ago)

Worrying loss of form for ShariVari here

cherry blossom, Monday, 9 March 2020 08:50 (six years ago)

A v different wild guess: bergen?

ogmor, Monday, 9 March 2020 09:43 (six years ago)

also off-target

cherry blossom, Monday, 9 March 2020 11:57 (six years ago)

White houses with splashes of colour suggest somewhere hot to me but that's about as far as i can get.

ShariVari, Monday, 9 March 2020 11:59 (six years ago)

ushuaia?

ogmor, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:00 (six years ago)

ushuaia?

DAMN, out of nowhere! top bins!

cherry blossom, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:10 (six years ago)

Oh how funny, i was looking at going there last year and didn't get around to it.

ShariVari, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:17 (six years ago)

ogmor, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:21 (six years ago)

One of my clients' offices, though i have never been.

ShariVari, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:24 (six years ago)

But i won't spoil it.

ShariVari, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:25 (six years ago)

Scale feels Chinese to me. Lotta buses, tho.

Doctor Casino, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:25 (six years ago)

not china

ogmor, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:42 (six years ago)

I think I got one!

Hyderabad, India.

brain (krakow), Monday, 9 March 2020 12:54 (six years ago)

that's a bingo!

ogmor, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:57 (six years ago)

hyderabad is, for a while at least, capital of two difference states in india

ogmor, Monday, 9 March 2020 12:58 (six years ago)

Yas! Now to vainly try and find something not entirely obvious for you all...

brain (krakow), Monday, 9 March 2020 13:06 (six years ago)

Probably entirely obvious after all, but the game must continue.

That red brick with faux-Roman pillars has to be Britain, somewhere. Lancaster?

ShariVari, Monday, 9 March 2020 13:57 (six years ago)

The building on the right doens't seem as British as it should

cherry blossom, Monday, 9 March 2020 15:24 (six years ago)

I can't think of a bit of liverpool docks that looks quite like that but lots that looks similar
