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

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

Ooooh I like this pace :) more more more

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

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).

Not Stanford (only one BMW amid subcompact economy hatchbacks). Looks more tropical.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Thursday, 18 February 2021 16:52 (five years ago)
What an interesting thing on the left. Looks like a pavilion of some sort, reminds me of Venice Biennale (but isn't that)

Not Stanford (only one BMW amid subcompact economy hatchbacks)
those might be the humanities professors' cars
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 18 February 2021 17:42 (five years ago)
Whats the tall thing to the left of the two trees on the left? Sort of looks like a floodlight?
― cherry blossom, Thursday, 18 February 2021 17:49 (five years ago)
Ah, looks like thats already covered
― cherry blossom, Thursday, 18 February 2021 17:52 (five years ago)
Do stadiums in the US have seating go right up like that? Cars don't feel right for US, South America feels a better bet
― cherry blossom, Thursday, 18 February 2021 17:55 (five years ago)
small colleges sometimes have stadiums like that
― treeship., Thursday, 18 February 2021 17:57 (five years ago)
Yeah that totally looks like a US college football stadium to me
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 18 February 2021 17:58 (five years ago)
It's hard to shake the idea it's California, but it's also p modest looking for a US campus venue for nearly any sport. Plus I'm struggling to think of an English word ending in -cial that would make sense as the last word of the name of that building on the left, whereas in, say, Spanish "ciencia social" would be logical
― rob, Thursday, 18 February 2021 18:02 (five years ago)
yeah I suppose a small liberal arts college could have a dinky entrance like that
btw "brutalist football stadium" is kind of a fun gis

I thought i had this for a second in Rio.
Its not Rio

Flamengo made sense for a moment but no
― cherry blossom, Thursday, 18 February 2021 18:12 (five years ago)
Next guess was Curitiba but absolutely no on that one

Was thinking Flamengo all along and forgot Newell's Old Boys play in red and black too
That is an absolute unit of a city

impressive as always. is there an easy level for this thread where CB is barred from playing? :)

I knew you were going to get it when you said Rio. xp
Rosario’s very nice.

Central Asian feel about the gold guys on the left. Lego building interesting, holding something pretty tall but not that long. Looks almost like a military fair to show off rockets is being set up

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
― alpine static,
Still want that interview?
I got lucky, 'large bronze statues in africa' led nowhere but i thought maybe the low building was an airport - it isn't, but 'large bronze statues outside airport in africa' still delivered. built by north korea! https://theculturetrip.com/africa/articles/spectacular-african-monuments-built-by-north-korea/
― ledge, Friday, 19 February 2021 15:42 (five years ago)
Is that building just an apartment block with a cafe in it?
