I've lost my reading glasses for closely looking at stuff and I'm overdue an eye-test by 2 years but I think now it might be a woolly hat rather that a hard hat.

looks like a coil of red poop to me

I think the inscrutability of this one possibly points to sub-tropical China, but also lazily guessed because Cam has lived there.

I "love" how this was first posted as "easy one"...

I thought the penguin was wearing a Devo energy dome (but I'm working off of limited sleep tbqh)
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Sunday, 14 March 2021 02:23 (five years ago)
is it in DEVOn?

I'm getting more of a South American vibe off this one, at first glance
― cherry blossom, Sunday, 14 March 2021 03:52 (five years ago)
The guy in front of the little green truck thing, I don't see anyone in Europe wearing that hat
― cherry blossom, Sunday, 14 March 2021 04:52 (five years ago)
Yes, definite South American vibe.

Besides the skiing bird (or two?) there's another figure over on the right with a red and white mushroom hat and pants that may have a story to tell
The two pictures seem like different places, which keeps throwing me off
― cherry blossom, Sunday, 14 March 2021 11:51 (five years ago)
the penguin is on skis , in case that helps
― StanM, Sunday, 14 March 2021 12:13 (five years ago)
Yeah I see skiing is involved, though I'm not 100 its a penguin!
― cherry blossom, Sunday, 14 March 2021 12:18 (five years ago)
Penguins, skis, red and white all suggest Chile and I think some places in Santiago have similar street lights. The green building is throwing me though.

Ha! not even that far out

at least I managed to guess the country correctly last night.
― calzino, Sunday, 14 March 2021 12:55 (five years ago)
I know Macau is supposed to be part of China, but considering the two hours it can take to get across the border, it certainly feels like you're going to a different country.

sorry, thats the second view
Google maps labeling Macau as "Zhuhai", smh

Got lucky, just googled "yellow church" and it was in the first page of image results.
This is the first one of these I've ever got so I'm feeling very pleased with myself. Not so much into setting them myself though so please go ahead.

I was a long way out on this, I'd got it into my head the second photo was Monterrey Argentina but that the first photo wasn't. Saw the third photo and abandoned any notions of south americ
― cherry blossom, Sunday, 14 March 2021 13:08 (five years ago)
The incongruous penguin and friends should have been more of a giveaway it wasn't South America
― cherry blossom, Sunday, 14 March 2021 13:11 (five years ago)
when I google "yellow church" there is one in Macau but it's another one alltogether :-)

Its only a matter of time before there is one with a branch of Card Factory, a fully grey sky, and a road sign that says Bosom-on-Trent 4 miles and it will be in Wenzhou
― cherry blossom, Sunday, 14 March 2021 13:30 (five years ago)
There will be a perfect replica of The Britannia stadium and a Pulis lookalike on the street outside a hologram of Greggs. It will then turn out that Tony is the manager of Shenzhen Town
― cherry blossom, Sunday, 14 March 2021 13:35 (five years ago)
A much easier one, I think:

Found a mosque which looks very much like that in Dubai, but not next to a highway.

Sfax, Tunisia. Was working my way along North African coast and that building came up on the first page of a gis of Sfax. It's a fish market

Indeed it is. Well done!

Lol I was thinking the estuary and skyline looked like Liverpool, the Mersey and the Wirral from Everton valley if you squint hard enough

I was looking at the river (bay?) and what appears to be a big inlet or tributary - maybe even a massive canal going through the middle of town and I started thinking about one of the ports along the Rhine but I think the Rhine is probably too narrow. Hamburg?
As usual I feel I'd have a better chance if I could see some church towers.
― Tim, Monday, 15 March 2021 13:43 (five years ago)
it looks Nordic and/or Baltic to me, but I don't think the layout is that of Hamburg. Helsinki perhaps?
