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

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

It looks very reminiscent of Tartu, Estonia.

I thought the roller vehicle said something like MACHTENS but I may be forcing it to be dutch

or maybe it's Argentina

The buildings are the wrong height for France. Need one more story for provincial villes. Also I’ve never seen tiles like that here.

Agree that it doesn't look like France, does look like Europe. But not necessarily Northern Europe? Tiles look Iberian to me, although it's pretty flat for Portugal so maybe Spain? Or a colonial Spanish city in South America? The barricades seem not like something you'd see in a wealthy country...

can't think of a pic on this thread that has prompted a wider geographic range of good guesses

Trees look a bit Latin city boulevard too
― Zelda Zonk, Monday, 8 February 2021 22:58 (five years ago)
Yeah, a little "warm!" or "colder!" would be of help right now.

There's a slow-moving vehicle sign on that steam-roller, which I believe are unique to North America. It looks like Charleston SC or something, something old and Southern

I'm going to guess Ulaanbaatar

something old and Southern
I mean New Orleans was the first thing I thought of when I saw those wrought iron minibalconies but I can't convince myself this is someplace that warm
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 00:35 (five years ago)
Yeah, no magnolia trees

Wait, is this a Left Hand Traffic country?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 00:44 (five years ago)
I was wondering too... but there are not traffic signs to judge by, and the road equipment could be traveling in either direction
― Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 00:55 (five years ago)
The car braking at the end of the street appears to be LHT.

I said Lisbon upthread and I'm pretty sure I've found it? More trees but looks right

I say more trees, I mean more foliage. cherry blossom's pic obvs winter

Looks right

Yep, well played.

I wondered if the tall building behind the trees was a church, yet it's flanked on both sides by those barn-colored apartments, which made me pause. But it is indeed a church. Good work!

amazing work
― budo jeru, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 03:45 (five years ago)
A tough one - interesting that quite a few people thought it was North America. I did think the Iberian peninsula or possibly South America. The tiles certainly pointed to Portugal but despite having been to Lisbon several times, I forgot there are bits of it that aren't hilly!
― Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 04:03 (five years ago)
Awesome work!
― cherry blossom, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 04:54 (five years ago)
I did start googling 'red building city Lisbon' and similar last night suspecting that the caption 'Work' had a double meaning :)
― nashwan, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 09:25 (five years ago)
Oops, no, no double meaning. Someone assumed that about a previous photo too. There's never a clue in the caption, everything is in the photo only
― cherry blossom, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 09:50 (five years ago)
Nice one
Yeah those [whatever you call the glossy mosaics] look so Lisbonian
― flamboyant goon tie included, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 13:52 (five years ago)
check out the 2009 version on Streetview though

Not there in 2014 either!

This one is going to be relatively easy, i think:

Not Europe, not North America, or South America I don't think. Looks Asian, more specifically subcontinental, judging from the men's dress / skin colour. Couple of yellow taxis too which makes me think India. I'm guessing an Indian megalopolis, Mumbai or Delhi.
― Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 20:34 (five years ago)
Black and yellow curbs could provide the answer
― Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 20:35 (five years ago)
But isn't that an oak tree?
― Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 20:49 (five years ago)
I can confirm that it’s not Mumbai or Delhi.

The anomalous oak tree is a good spot.
The only clues I will give are that people play cricket there and nobody is super close yet.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:13 (five years ago)
My initial thought was also Delhi but I see thats already been thrown out of court.
