I think it’s just a yellow blinking light, the kind that are used as a warning of a possible obstruction.

with all due respect to the many good players in this thread, i would like to read an extensive interview with cherry blossom about their approach to the Guess the City game

It could probably be anywhere in New England, how about Northampton MA

technical issues!

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 17 February 2021 17:57 (five years ago)

A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view

Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 17 February 2021 18:06 (five years ago)

Feeling much less Philadelphia now

Guayaquil (eephus!), Wednesday, 17 February 2021 18:20 (five years ago)

Mural shows this is a place with palm trees along the shore (unless it's a mural depicting a completely different place, which just seems too mean of cherry blossom)

Guayaquil (eephus!), Wednesday, 17 February 2021 18:21 (five years ago)

I don't know. The vegetation across the road there looks like it comes from a very different climate. The mural seems to depict some place in the Middle East, but everything else looks very Eastern US to me.

is that a pool? sign reads something like "stairs could be slippery"?

Dinsdale, Wednesday, 17 February 2021 19:31 (five years ago)

Looks like a cable stayed bridge in the first picture's mural, but that led me nowhere.

bulb after bulb, Wednesday, 17 February 2021 19:37 (five years ago)

stairs closed

and isn't that an elevated train station?

rob, Wednesday, 17 February 2021 19:38 (five years ago)

it's Upham's Corner train station in Boston

Dinsdale, Wednesday, 17 February 2021 19:55 (five years ago)

thanks to rob's hint

Dinsdale, Wednesday, 17 February 2021 19:55 (five years ago)

It's not *technically* a reverse angle, it's around the corner (the cherrypicker is partially obscuring the right side of the mural/ivy from pic 1).

Definitely a smallish train station, the tracks in pic 1 lead into this building.

Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 17 February 2021 19:55 (five years ago)

lol nevermind well done

my first ever guess!

only took a shitton of scrolling on Google Image search results for "rail station mural mountains"

Dinsdale, Wednesday, 17 February 2021 20:02 (five years ago)

crossing one off my bucket list

Dinsdale, Wednesday, 17 February 2021 20:03 (five years ago)

ha nice one, I have looked at a ton of train-themed murals today

rob, Wednesday, 17 February 2021 20:04 (five years ago)

good work!

The second mural depicts Cabo Verde, the first mural is a depiction of Boston

(unless it's a mural depicting a completely different place, which just seems too mean of cherry blossom)

but OK, I get it, big Cap Verdean community

Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 18 February 2021 00:43 (five years ago)

My northeast US seaboard general vibe was right, at least.

This one will likely be easy for a few people.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Thursday, 18 February 2021 10:23 (five years ago)

Bridgetown, Barbados?

Sven Vath's scary carpet (Neil S), Thursday, 18 February 2021 10:32 (five years ago)

lol, yes. Well done.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Thursday, 18 February 2021 10:40 (five years ago)

if you recognise it's a cricket ground you're in business with that one

Sven Vath's scary carpet (Neil S), Thursday, 18 February 2021 10:40 (five years ago)

and it's on my list of cricket grounds to visit!

Sven Vath's scary carpet (Neil S), Thursday, 18 February 2021 10:41 (five years ago)

how do we do with ports?

Sven Vath's scary carpet (Neil S), Thursday, 18 February 2021 10:47 (five years ago)

Think it's Trieste? Looks European so got a top 10 of Europe's largest freight ports and did a gis of each, Trieste came in 8th

or something, Thursday, 18 February 2021 11:37 (five years ago)

(not that I got that! Just going off your answer, I was going to guess maybe Genoa

cherry blossom, Thursday, 18 February 2021 11:54 (five years ago)

Trieste has the same yellow cranes also

nashwan, Thursday, 18 February 2021 12:14 (five years ago)

yes, well done!

Sven Vath's scary carpet (Neil S), Thursday, 18 February 2021 12:23 (five years ago)

I heard everyone likes murals:

Qom, Iran?

Sven Vath's scary carpet (Neil S), Thursday, 18 February 2021 13:08 (five years ago)

Not Qom.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Thursday, 18 February 2021 13:12 (five years ago)

varanasi, india

Jibe, Thursday, 18 February 2021 13:16 (five years ago)

it's the varanasi junction railway station https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varanasi_Junction_railway_station

Jibe, Thursday, 18 February 2021 13:21 (five years ago)

Looking pretty chilly out there

cherry blossom, Thursday, 18 February 2021 13:21 (five years ago)

Jibe is correct!

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Thursday, 18 February 2021 13:24 (five years ago)

xp maybe. In my limited experience, Indians will dress like that as soon as the temperature drops below 10

rob, Thursday, 18 February 2021 13:30 (five years ago)

Ooooh I like this pace :) more more more

Another relatively easy one, though i have artlessly obscured two of the most Googleable clues.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Thursday, 18 February 2021 16:11 (five years ago)

Almost certainly a college campus with the football stadium the structure in front. Looks like Stanford to me, it certainly has those tall palms along the side of roads bordering big lawns.

Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 18 February 2021 16:41 (five years ago)

The red color is right for Stanford too.

Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 18 February 2021 16:42 (five years ago)

I don't think Stanford Stadium is that dumpy, although I don't think I've ever walked next to the stadium.

It looks more like Brazil to me, but I have no feeling for where (I have traveled rather little there).

All cars are bad (Euler), Thursday, 18 February 2021 16:50 (five years ago)

Not Stanford (only one BMW amid subcompact economy hatchbacks). Looks more tropical.
