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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.
