Gaziantep it is, floating handrail and all!

Man that looks like any irish town just as you pass the speed limits tbh

cpt otm (darraghmac), Saturday, 6 February 2021 20:59 (five years ago)

Scranton?

pomenitul, Saturday, 6 February 2021 20:59 (five years ago)

eesh not much to go on there. Ireland was my initial thought too

cherry blossom, Saturday, 6 February 2021 21:23 (five years ago)

I was about to say, that looks like Ireland.

Waterloo Subset (Tom D.), Saturday, 6 February 2021 21:27 (five years ago)

It isn't Scranton.

Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 6 February 2021 21:29 (five years ago)

Sorry, dumb joke.

pomenitul, Saturday, 6 February 2021 21:33 (five years ago)

Sorry, not very good at recognising jokes, dumb or otherwise.

Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 6 February 2021 21:37 (five years ago)

Cambridge

calzino, Saturday, 6 February 2021 21:44 (five years ago)

It is! Are you familiar with that particular road?

Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 6 February 2021 21:56 (five years ago)

no sorry I'm a dirty rotten cheat who used search google for image, my first guess was Salisbury!

calzino, Saturday, 6 February 2021 22:06 (five years ago)

I assumed Calzino had been shown the road out of Cambrige many times.

Waterloo Subset (Tom D.), Saturday, 6 February 2021 22:07 (five years ago)

some people do say I'm a total punt!

calzino, Saturday, 6 February 2021 22:08 (five years ago)

well Fen Road is not at all "the road out of Cambridge" - it's a mile-long cul-de-sac behind Cambridge North Station, ending in a steep bank at the side of the A14. It's where the local Irish Travelers live, so interesting that everyone was saying Ireland. Here's the spot - https://goo.gl/maps/v5LrRrrbRurABkDt5

Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 6 February 2021 22:18 (five years ago)

it looks very flat to this hillbilly who lives high up enough to often see the weather coming a good twenty mins before it arrives. The bungalow does look quite Irish but they like painting them in bolder colours from my memory of annual tours there thirty odd years ago.

calzino, Saturday, 6 February 2021 22:26 (five years ago)

Everywhere is flat round here. I'm from Herefordshire where everywhere is the side of a hill.

Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 6 February 2021 22:31 (five years ago)

yeah the flat plains of much of the south is something I've never really took to much. Being able to watch birds flying from an above vantage and the way going down a hill sometimes takes you to spots where you are insulated from most noise pollution and the silence is quite a sensory treat, well apart from the odd tractor or the odd reversing alarm on a farmer's forklift.

Work

cherry blossom, Sunday, 7 February 2021 12:50 (five years ago)

Looks like rich bits of New York I've seen in films.

Bastard Lakes (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 7 February 2021 13:02 (five years ago)

good faces on those construction vehicles

nashwan, Sunday, 7 February 2021 13:12 (five years ago)

Philadelphia?

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Sunday, 7 February 2021 18:40 (five years ago)

Not Philly.

The return of our beloved potatoes (the table is the table), Monday, 8 February 2021 15:20 (five years ago)

just a shot in the dark: washington dc.

Joses Chrust (map), Monday, 8 February 2021 15:45 (five years ago)

I have spent a lot of time in DC-Baltimore-Philly and these solid streetfronts don't look to me like those solid streetfronts (in particular the iron on the windows doesn't look right to me)

Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 8 February 2021 16:29 (five years ago)

The tile-work(?) is not something you find in Philly, except for ten years in California, I've been living here or returning here for nearly forty years, never seen anything like those.

The return of our beloved potatoes (the table is the table), Monday, 8 February 2021 16:57 (five years ago)

idk looks like france to me

plax (ico), Monday, 8 February 2021 17:20 (five years ago)

i was going to say: reminds me of France

The return of our beloved potatoes (the table is the table), Monday, 8 February 2021 17:27 (five years ago)

flat roofs, residential street is far too wide for a pre-automobile city. not europe IMO.

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Monday, 8 February 2021 17:27 (five years ago)

hmm i'm zooming in and now i'm not so sure. it's not a residential street for one thing.

buildings suspiciously low rise for europe but ... maybe?

this is a good one.

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Monday, 8 February 2021 17:28 (five years ago)

having spent the last three years taking my son to construction sites, i will say: the construction vehicles do not look north american.

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Monday, 8 February 2021 17:30 (five years ago)

Maybe it's Canada! I really do think the white-collonade face of that long brick building looks New England, and so do the trees, but the construction stuff reads to me as French, that's where I'm getting Canada.

Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 8 February 2021 18:12 (five years ago)

trees bare & no snow though

Joses Chrust (map), Monday, 8 February 2021 18:28 (five years ago)

The tile work on the stairs at left seem very unAmerican.

Andy the Grasshopper, Monday, 8 February 2021 18:37 (five years ago)

Bordeaux?

Andy the Grasshopper, Monday, 8 February 2021 18:41 (five years ago)

hmm. amsterdam?

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Monday, 8 February 2021 18:57 (five years ago)

i would have guessed maybe somewhere in provence but less glitzy than arles or aix

plax (ico), Monday, 8 February 2021 19:22 (five years ago)

im just seeing it as a blvd 'in the style of hausman' with a town hall at the end. i mean it could just as easily be latvia idk

plax (ico), Monday, 8 February 2021 19:23 (five years ago)

it does feel kinda Northern European, I think

StanM, Monday, 8 February 2021 19:27 (five years ago)

Could it be Goteborg?

The return of our beloved potatoes (the table is the table), Monday, 8 February 2021 19:37 (five years ago)

surely to fuck this is europe not north america.

Dusty Benelux (jim in vancouver), Monday, 8 February 2021 19:38 (five years ago)

Tiles make me think Portugal and I've thought Lisbon a couple of times recently but it hasn't been but maybe this is? So, Lisbon?

or something, Monday, 8 February 2021 19:47 (five years ago)

I think the key may lie in finding out which country/city is apt to space out those cubic orange/white channelizing barricades in such a manner.

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Monday, 8 February 2021 19:51 (five years ago)

The green truck seems to have a word on the front -- looks like MACNYE to me but I'm not getting any hits for that

Guayaquil (eephus!), Monday, 8 February 2021 19:55 (five years ago)

that's what I was thinking. the Blue on white tile and then the orange-roofed building in the distance made me think "southern Sweden" for some reason.

The return of our beloved potatoes (the table is the table), Monday, 8 February 2021 19:56 (five years ago)

Or somewhere in Denmark, maybe? Northern Europe seems like the best bet so far.

pomenitul, Monday, 8 February 2021 19:58 (five years ago)

Bunch of very dark haired people in the photo.

Waterloo Subset (Tom D.), Monday, 8 February 2021 20:04 (five years ago)

But the sand/dried mud on the roads seems more chalky Mediterranean, that's why I thought Bordeaux but what do I know

Andy the Grasshopper, Monday, 8 February 2021 20:05 (five years ago)

It looks very reminiscent of Tartu, Estonia.
