Guess the City

*Gloomcester

Not Plymouth.

Melchester

Exeter is my last guess.

I'm going to be embarrassed if it turns out to be Exeter but I don't think it is it's not just that I don't recognise either shot ,it's that I'd expect to see some evidence of the red Devon stone somewhere if it was.

My guess is Chichester, although I thought I recognised a roundabout and I can't place it on the streetview.

Haha and I see you've already ruled Chichester out.

I once spent a night wondering around Exeter and sleeping in the bus station after missing the last northbound national express coach on a sunday afternoon about 20 odd years ago. But usually I've just passed through on a train en-route to Newquay. So I don't claim to know the place - just a wild guess.

I thought I was being clever with Klagenfurt but it's shit town uk that's stumped us all

I wonder if this is an old pic and the petrol garage switched companies - feel like I've google every southern city + Shell by a motorway/dual carriageway and no match

Same here

I've tried "virgin media" as well

I note that Guildford and Milton Keynes are missing from the map of cities above. Haven’t made either fit but maybe others are missing? Or maybe I’m not good at making things fit.

They're not cities

Got it, Salisbury

ha I did see that one but dismissed it foolishly

I couldn't see any Russian agents at the Shell cashpoint

I somehow expected Salisbury to look better than that. But I suppose nice photos aren't what the thread is about. I've almost certainly been in Salisbury at some point.

Difficult one, I felt like something would emerge from the image but nothing did and I didn't have a clue. Then cities were being whittled down through collective trial and error at a rapid pace and it still seemed to elude everyone even as the number of available cities dwindled!

kudos on finding the exact spot, still. Even with the process of elimination I was still nowhere near

Salisbury it is, well done. jim in vancouver may have got it before but he gave Hardy's name for reasons beat known to himself.

best known, d'oh

Is this photo taken at the start of a car race?

Not as far as I'm aware

It's a serendipitous streetview guess the city moment

Getting a South America vibe, but not much more than that yet

it looks like the inner suburb of copenhagen where i lived when i studied abroad. somewhere in amager.

there aren't leaves on the trees, so i think it's a temperate or cold climate. those terracotta roofs and the small cars seem northern european. i don't see a bike lane though so it's likely not in denmark.

Looks Eastern European to me

Feels a little too dusty mountainous for Denmark

Pristina?

Googling blue line road markings threw up possibly the worst pun ever: https://www.theobserver.com/2017/01/blue-lines-matter/

Ooft

Not Copenhagen or Pristina btw

big fat ugly raised steel wired armoured cables on wooden poles rather than sunk (and with a scruffy loop left hanging there) suggests nobody loves this place!

Matazlan?

Or Mazatlan, even.

Definitely feeling Mexico for this (but also feeling Brazil hmm)

Not Mazatlan

Block of flats is confusing me. Looks sort of eastern European but on the other hand green shutters feels Latin

What do we think the smelting looking building with the chimneys is on the left? Behind the little building that might be a street church

perhaps they don't bury cables or build too high because it is in a seismic zone that frequently has earthquakes? god knows somewhere in Chile?

There seem to be mountains in the background too, though I have no purchase in this game right now, just mentioning it.

the unburied cables basically rules out western europe.

there might be an earthquake connection but generally speaking buried cables are a wealth thing even in earthquake zones. you can see the rich neighborhoods of LA from space becuase if you can see tree cover then you're looking at a neighborhood that could afford to bury. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2003-feb-09-re-pole9-story.html

Japan?

Japan isn't a city

(But no, not Japan. I'll give you that one)

San Felipe ?

the Chile one I mean
