it's definitely not Cat Town, the eye-patch is a bourgeoisie-poser dead giveaway!

It looks like it could be a cemetery, and cats in cemeteries always make me think Paris, but the bench doesn’t look like Pere Lachaise.

It could definitely be Recoleta in Buenos Aires.

some monumentally massive gravestones there!

calzino, Friday, 26 March 2021 23:34 (five years ago)

yeah cats in a cemetery always makes me think of la recoleta first, though cats in a cemetery seems to be a common thing. ive never been to buenos aires incidentally, but i did plan a solo trip there many moons ago, and have read up on the city a bit

《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Friday, 26 March 2021 23:41 (five years ago)

Yep Recoleta! A place I have been but don’t think I formed particularly strong memories of. Are you supposed to remember things?

Canon in Deez (silby), Friday, 26 March 2021 23:43 (five years ago)

Looking at pictures does bring the memories back. It’s very prestigious real estate, with cats.

Canon in Deez (silby), Friday, 26 March 2021 23:44 (five years ago)

I think I saw a cat inside of a glass-doored crypt in there

This can likely be reverse image searched very easily but I am sure ye can work it out without that.

nottingham

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Saturday, 27 March 2021 07:16 (five years ago)

It’s not Nottingham.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Saturday, 27 March 2021 07:21 (five years ago)

Warsaw.

Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Saturday, 27 March 2021 10:55 (five years ago)

Correct!

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Saturday, 27 March 2021 11:03 (five years ago)

did this building by some miracle survive ww2 or was it rebuilt?

calzino, Saturday, 27 March 2021 11:14 (five years ago)

It’s Warsaw University of Technology which was damaged in the war and restored in the fifties, I think, with a glass roof added later.

It’s really impressive.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Saturday, 27 March 2021 11:37 (five years ago)

damn! beautiful

John Cooper of Christian rock band Skillet (map), Saturday, 27 March 2021 13:58 (five years ago)

I kinda want to know what prompted caek to suggest Nottingham.

Duncan Disorderly (Tom D.), Saturday, 27 March 2021 14:53 (five years ago)

hey you started it

Nottingham

First time I've got one! What a beautiful building.

Am I OK to post an image?

Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Saturday, 27 March 2021 15:27 (five years ago)

As in, I've never quite worked out what the rules are (or if there are any!).

Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Saturday, 27 March 2021 15:27 (five years ago)

I think the only "rule" (unspoken) is to not post a new image until the current one has been guessed, so you're good to go!

rob, Saturday, 27 March 2021 15:34 (five years ago)

OK, cheers! Absolutely someone will get this right away because I've missed some sigh saying the name in massive capital letters...

Some sign[ ffs.

Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Saturday, 27 March 2021 15:42 (five years ago)

Bridgetown, Barbados is my first thought.

Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Saturday, 27 March 2021 15:58 (five years ago)

Not a million miles away but not Barbados, no.

Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Saturday, 27 March 2021 16:52 (five years ago)

Curaçao?

StanM, Saturday, 27 March 2021 17:37 (five years ago)

I mean, there is that famous harbour view of Willemstad with the painted houses - but the mountain in the background, no idea

StanM, Saturday, 27 March 2021 17:38 (five years ago)

Curacao just dished out a 5-0 spanking of Saint Vincent & the Grenadines the other night

calzino, Saturday, 27 March 2021 18:10 (five years ago)

Thought it might be Bo Kaap in Cape Town but perhaps not quite colourful enough and that's not quite Table Mountain

or something, Saturday, 27 March 2021 18:23 (five years ago)

Mindelo
https://maps.app.goo.gl/1GZwfRXe3NLU8juD6

Mindelo, Cabo Verde islands

or something, Saturday, 27 March 2021 18:30 (five years ago)

Boom! Nice work. How did you find it?

Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Saturday, 27 March 2021 18:56 (five years ago)

A fair bit of image searching "colourful buildings africa coast"

or something, Saturday, 27 March 2021 19:27 (five years ago)

Had a dream that I posted an image here and no one got it after weeks of guesses.

it's like edging for your mind (the table is the table), Monday, 29 March 2021 15:27 (five years ago)

Originally I thought Bozhmy Novmanor but the shade of green on one of the fences didn't feel quite right

cherry blossom, Monday, 29 March 2021 16:50 (five years ago)

I'd like to post pictures to this thread but I'm a bit of a luddite. What do you guys do, take a screenshot or share a google maps streetview to imgur and then link it?

or something, Monday, 29 March 2021 17:07 (five years ago)

I take a screenshot and then post to postimg.cc

cherry blossom, Monday, 29 March 2021 17:20 (five years ago)

possibly of interest to members of this group, some of these are effectively "guess the state"

i was 15 for 21, had a run near the beginning where i got 5 wrong

《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Monday, 29 March 2021 17:30 (five years ago)

but they also gave me a part of brooklyn which trump won by 81 points (!!!) which seems tricky

《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Monday, 29 March 2021 17:33 (five years ago)

(i am aware there are parts of brooklyn that are mega racist blue lives matter italians and such but having never been to any part of brooklyn i can't really discriminate and it all just looks like brooklyn to me)

《Myst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Monday, 29 March 2021 17:34 (five years ago)

15/21 though a good chunk of them were either barely right or close but no

cherry blossom, Monday, 29 March 2021 17:44 (five years ago)

yeah I was pretty good at guessing the state but not at guessing which parts of Florida went Biden

Let's see if this works...

Thanks cherry blossom

or something, Monday, 29 March 2021 18:40 (five years ago)

Is that too low definition for everybody?

or something, Monday, 29 March 2021 18:41 (five years ago)

that's fine if you click through. here it is embedded full size

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Monday, 29 March 2021 18:43 (five years ago)

It's fine once I clicked through.

Instinctively thought Denver but those trees look like horse chestnuts so I think somewhere in the UK.

Vanishing Point (Chinaski), Monday, 29 March 2021 18:43 (five years ago)

they're driving on the right. it's not the uk. and there's a bus lane which makes me think it's not the US.
