NV my immediate thought was Lubeck, too, so I get it.

Those green roofs made me think of Kyiv but (unless this is a weird view) Kyiv’s got to be more built up than that so... I’m way past the end of my knowledge. Somewhere post-Soviet would be my guess.

pretty! Yoshkar-Ola.

pretty! Yoshkar-Ola.

Hats off! what gave it away?

cherry blossom, Friday, 4 September 2020 13:07 (five years ago)

ooh I was going to suggest Nizhny or Kazan just from looking at places along the Volga but seemed too big and pretty to be either

nashwan, Friday, 4 September 2020 13:17 (five years ago)

small rather!

nashwan, Friday, 4 September 2020 13:18 (five years ago)

That place looks really gorgeous wow

It sounds super-weird! A row of houses copied directly from Bruges? https://www.calvertjournal.com/articles/show/7303/yoshkar-ola-mari-el Built with the specific aim of making ILXors think it was Hanseatic, I imagine.

Just a lucky google search for 'waterfront russia' ! Fascinating place though, looks like a big lego set.

knew i should have picked one facing the other way!

No guesses? I'll try find another angle later this week.

cherry blossom, Monday, 21 September 2020 01:26 (five years ago)

didn’t see this ! will have a look tomorrow

budo jeru, Monday, 21 September 2020 01:50 (five years ago)

Very little to go on here - the mass of apartment towers on the right make me think of Eastern Europe I guess...

Zelda Zonk, Monday, 21 September 2020 02:10 (five years ago)

IKEA store at a highway intersection in the mid distance narrows options considerably. Red tiled roofs suggest Mediterranean. That color scheme on the apartment towers matches some around Madrid. But having looked at five dozen options none quite matches. And I'm very worried that the nosebleed seats in that futbol stadium are a deathtrap.

Disgraced, committing sudoku (Sanpaku), Monday, 21 September 2020 14:49 (five years ago)

nice catch re: ikea.

i was also thinking mediterranean.

rijeka ?

budo jeru, Monday, 21 September 2020 15:33 (five years ago)

if it’s indeed rIjEKA it would make that Ikea a brilliant clue

No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Monday, 21 September 2020 15:38 (five years ago)

With the IKEA crib, it's now a brute-force problem: search every IKEA, see if it's the right kind of intersection, get yourself oriented relative to the intersection, and try to find either the low-rise Plattenbau up the hill, or the 1960s concrete stadium for local sports off to the left.

Far too verdant to be Madrid surely

rascal clobber (jim in vancouver), Monday, 21 September 2020 18:20 (five years ago)

this isn't saying mediterranean to me. Western Europe for sure

rascal clobber (jim in vancouver), Monday, 21 September 2020 18:30 (five years ago)

Yeah, it doesn't look Mediterranean to me either.

brain (krakow), Monday, 21 September 2020 18:34 (five years ago)

Braga

or something, Monday, 21 September 2020 18:58 (five years ago)

haha, it's definitely that (I remember the stadium from Celtic playing them). damn, wrong again

rascal clobber (jim in vancouver), Monday, 21 September 2020 19:11 (five years ago)

wow, i think you nailed it

budo jeru, Monday, 21 September 2020 19:12 (five years ago)

the Atlantic humidity through me off the scent

rascal clobber (jim in vancouver), Monday, 21 September 2020 19:14 (five years ago)

threw even

rascal clobber (jim in vancouver), Monday, 21 September 2020 19:14 (five years ago)

Yep, iconic stadium that

or something, Monday, 21 September 2020 19:23 (five years ago)

Braga it is!

cherry blossom, Monday, 21 September 2020 22:32 (five years ago)

Hats off to the Ikea spotter, didn't even notice that! Good work all round

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 22 September 2020 07:27 (five years ago)

Bravo!

I don't feel too bad about the Mediterranean thing as it's decidedly Northern Atlantic in the end.

brain (krakow), Tuesday, 22 September 2020 10:44 (five years ago)

Oh, missed this one entirely, yeah, love that stadium.

budo jeru, Thursday, 24 September 2020 00:57 (five years ago)

Looks European to me. Buildings on the left have a bit of a French Haussmann vibe to them, but then further on there's a group that looks more middle European. The tower with the strange roof is probably key.

Zelda Zonk, Thursday, 24 September 2020 02:10 (five years ago)

Reminds me of Warsaw

more clouds pt. 2: same bridge, different view

budo jeru, Monday, 28 September 2020 00:53 (five years ago)

Some really distinctive buildings there but I'm lost, except to say it has a northern European feel. The style of the cathedral towers could give the region perhaps...

Zelda Zonk, Monday, 28 September 2020 01:19 (five years ago)

Actually the domed towers on that cathedral seem to me more Spanish or Portuguese. But the rest of the pic certainly doesn't scream Spanish/Portuguese... There's what looks like a village in the top right hand corner, all slate-roofed, again making it feel more Northern European.

Zelda Zonk, Monday, 28 September 2020 01:47 (five years ago)

no more guesses ?

budo jeru, Thursday, 1 October 2020 20:29 (five years ago)

Santiago Chile

Andy the Grasshopper, Thursday, 1 October 2020 20:33 (five years ago)

is it Paris?

Two Meter Peter (Ste), Thursday, 1 October 2020 20:39 (five years ago)

The combo of the roofs and the church gives me Central Europe vibes, Czechoslovakia?

Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 1 October 2020 20:47 (five years ago)

Zurich?

or something, Thursday, 1 October 2020 22:09 (five years ago)

Having lived in Nantes, this looked really familiar to me. That looks like the Loire.

North end of Pont Mirabeau, Tours.

Alternative Ulsterbus, Thursday, 1 October 2020 22:26 (five years ago)

nicely done

budo jeru, Thursday, 1 October 2020 22:33 (five years ago)

Yeeeoo.
