Is that the documentary from 2009? I found it and watched yesterday

cherry blossom, Monday, 24 August 2020 05:32 (five years ago)

yes

Hay can you give us another clue for the 27th July?

Tim, Monday, 24 August 2020 12:17 (five years ago)

27 July looks northern European, possibly Scandi: Sundsvall?

second shot for 27th July

Looks a bit German to me

I can see a two-spired cathedral on July 27th photo. Is it Fulda?

Sheffield?

オニモ (onimo), Tuesday, 25 August 2020 17:36 (five years ago)

no those roofs are extremely mitteleuropäische

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Tuesday, 25 August 2020 17:49 (five years ago)

the chimney stack in front of the hills does look a lot like the hope valley cement works though!

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Tuesday, 25 August 2020 17:51 (five years ago)

that does look like dear old Blighty to me but mind you I've never been to central europe

Temporary Erogenous Zone (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 25 August 2020 18:35 (five years ago)

i think the roofs are too steep (they're designed for snow) and too red (they're slate in the UK).

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Tuesday, 25 August 2020 18:41 (five years ago)

I spent ages thinking it was somewhere in the UK too - the neoclassical pile towards the right hand side of the Jul 27 pic, but (as Caek said) I'd be amazed if those roofs were in the UK. That little two-spired church spotted by FGTI (visible between the two left-most tree trunks on the Jul 27 pic, I reckon it's probably too small to be the town cathedral?) makes me think Germany or nearby.

"Germany or nearby" too big. I am left with absolutely no clue where it might be.

Tim, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 10:09 (five years ago)

Could it be Stuttgart? That church could be the St. Maria Kirche?

Tim, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 10:22 (five years ago)

what are those buildings (or is it one complex?) with those two minaret-like chimneys or whatever they are in the centre of yesterday's pic? is it something industrial?

(there's a church somewhat to the left of it/them that looks Central European to me)

No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 10:38 (five years ago)

I put Stuttgart Factory chimneys into google image search and got these, from yer actual kraftwerk (Heizkraftwerk Stuttgart-Gaisburg in this case) and they could be the same? The complex slightly behind them in yesterday's pic could be the Mercedes plant / museum.

which might mean that church, if we're looking at the same one, is the Evangelisches Pfarramt Gaisburg:

Tim, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 11:09 (five years ago)

result!

Applause! Stuttgart is the one

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 12:47 (five years ago)

This may be very easy.

I'm feeling Southeast Asia/Oceania....

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 15:08 (five years ago)

it may be cheating a little bit because I remember you had plans of going there like a year ago - but could it be Guangzhou? (if it’s not that it’s definitely in that region, probably more to the south than to the north of it)

No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 15:30 (five years ago)

Looks to be on the coast?

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 16:16 (five years ago)

Off the cuff guess is Salvador, but this needs some thinking

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 16:18 (five years ago)

Those streets are super quiet but maybe its a post-covid photo!

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 16:24 (five years ago)

Panama City!

my god, it's full of bugles (flamboyant goon tie included), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 17:46 (five years ago)

I had looked at every South American skyline this morning but forgot about Central America, as one often does :(

my god, it's full of bugles (flamboyant goon tie included), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 17:47 (five years ago)

always impressed by my fellow ilxors itt

Temporary Erogenous Zone (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 18:04 (five years ago)

I think the only one I have got recently is when someone posted one of the 4 cities in my country lol

Temporary Erogenous Zone (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 18:05 (five years ago)

Panama City is correct!

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 18:12 (five years ago)

I was in the right hemisphere at least, but would never have got that

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 19:11 (five years ago)

much more than can be said for me lol (at least if we’re talking Eastern vs Western)

No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 19:32 (five years ago)

panama city sounds awful tbr

I have one

My failure to engage with this thread makes me feel better about my ecological footprint.

pomentiful (pomenitul), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 20:13 (five years ago)

And another of the same city, just to make it easier:

Port-au-Prince?

pomentiful (pomenitul), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 20:19 (five years ago)

It’s Haiti, I’m guessing Port-au-Prince, although the Coca Cola van leads me to Mirebalais.

Those colourful portico streets appear to be typical of Cap-Haïtien.

No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 20:50 (five years ago)

but no, it’s Jacmel!

No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 20:57 (five years ago)

Success!! it is Jacmel

my god, it's full of bugles (flamboyant goon tie included), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 21:07 (five years ago)

Can I have a go?

Used to catch the bus here.

lovely photo

Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 22:06 (five years ago)

Ummmm.... somewhere in the UK? Or Canada?

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 22:39 (five years ago)

it's in Europe but not the UK. A well-known city, though not this bit of it.

Anti-Cop Ponceortium (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 22:44 (five years ago)

you've got to wait before you start giving out hints! i just wrote a long post and now it is consigned to history.

i got that it wasn't in the UK. driving on the right and the street signs are wrong.

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 22:47 (five years ago)

ah, sorry! I will shut up.
