Well, that looks less nice than I hoped. Sorry, monkeys.

looks like havana but with techno

confusing - it's like every image is from another part of the world. Love this!

Yeah it looks awesome.

Lack of black and brown people, I think we're in the Eastern bloc again.

Sebastopol/Sevastopol?

No! really? LOL

StanM, Tuesday, 31 August 2021 20:28 (four years ago)

Yeah I was assuming it was more pictures of the same place!

The second-to-last one it's hard to believe isn't actually somebody's album cover, I feel like the Fixx had a reunion this is the cover they'd pick

Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 31 August 2021 20:31 (four years ago)

I don't know if it's all that faded really, seems pretty lively on Instagram

Didn't expect it to be particularly big, but it's a fair bit smaller than Asheville or Kamloops

Looks like it could be the back of a major city train station. Building on the right looks kind of Middle European. Ashtrays on tables are a bit of a rarity these days, maybe somewhere East European?

Zelda Zonk, Thursday, 2 September 2021 06:18 (four years ago)

the chimneys though... factory in a city?

StanM, Thursday, 2 September 2021 12:31 (four years ago)

are those chimneys though? thought it may be a tower of some sort behind, hard to judge the scale.

Blue sign seems to hint at LHD?!

fc_TEFH28mo (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 2 September 2021 12:41 (four years ago)

It's the train station in Basel

I saw the file names you gave the photos and thought it was a red herring!

How did you get to it? Already knew or something else give it away?

No red herrings! Clues are only ever in the photos!

cherry blossom, Thursday, 2 September 2021 17:51 (four years ago)

I've been to Switzerland a couple of times, not to Basel but it felt Swiss and Zelda Zonk mentioning middle European solidified that thought so I got to image searching Swiss cities' railway stations

Mediterranean vibe. Some walled city in Andalusia?

Zelda Zonk, Friday, 3 September 2021 09:02 (four years ago)

Getting a Napoli vibe from the wall but idk.

word on the metal grate bottom left - UNIECO ?

REK (?) graffiti tag

willem, Friday, 3 September 2021 13:33 (four years ago)

graffiti has a distinctive e/E it it is an E

StanM, Friday, 3 September 2021 13:39 (four years ago)

iF it is

StanM, Friday, 3 September 2021 13:40 (four years ago)

Shape of the tall doorway on left looks distinctive but not sure how to search for that shape.

that's not my post, Friday, 3 September 2021 13:47 (four years ago)

it's not exactly in there - still looking

StanM, Friday, 3 September 2021 14:27 (four years ago)

it's like a clothes hanger + a shoulder flat arch type of thing, like ? I give up :-(

Marseille

γ€ŠMyst1kOblivi0n》 (jim in vancouver), Friday, 3 September 2021 20:11 (four years ago)

is it though

StanM, Saturday, 4 September 2021 04:38 (four years ago)

Doorway doesn't look French to me, although mountain in the background looks similar to the one outside Marseille. Old man with stick is a real generic Mediterranean old geezer, could be French, Spanish, southern Italian... the other people look like tourists, and Marseille isn't really a tourist town

Zelda Zonk, Saturday, 4 September 2021 08:53 (four years ago)

What ARE those square button type things on the wall? Are they painted on? Either way: why?

StanM, Saturday, 4 September 2021 16:59 (four years ago)

(... former wall cemetery and those were name plaques? They're too far apart for that) (nevermind, just thinking out loud and having no idea)

Looks quite a bit like Santa Cruz de Tenerife but I can't find any exact matches with that peak although one is very similar

ignore the blue line (or something), Sunday, 5 September 2021 23:26 (four years ago)

Very distinctive decorative touches to the street lights, although I wouldn't know how to search for that. The wall is intriguing, looks like there are modern buildings directly behind it so it's not like it's encircling a cemetery or castle or whatever. And it doesn't quite look like a city wall either.

Zelda Zonk, Monday, 6 September 2021 00:20 (four years ago)

Very distinctive street light poles. Also weird to see electrical wires strung light pole to light pole on left side of the picture.

that's not my post, Monday, 6 September 2021 02:05 (four years ago)

This should be gettable but I'm not getting it. Best I can come up with is that it feels Mediterranean, but doesn't feel French, my gut feeling is somewhere Spanish

Zelda Zonk, Monday, 6 September 2021 03:09 (four years ago)

The black car and the reddish one driving away from the camera are both French (Peugeot 307 and Renault Teepee, around mid-2000s), but of course these cars are popular eveywhere in Europe. The car driving towards the camera is a VW Polo (2010ish), which isn't any help at all.

Newcastle-on-Tyne

Those streetlights look suspiciously British, could it be Gibraltar?

Neil S, Monday, 6 September 2021 16:01 (four years ago)

I don't think I can find an angle of the rock of Gibraltar that looks like that - guessing no to that one. Santa Cruz (Tenerife) looked better but couldn't find a ridge shaped quite like these pics either.

StanM, Monday, 6 September 2021 17:52 (four years ago)

I was wondering about Melilla or Ceuta, but again can't find an exact counterpart for the mountainous background

Zelda Zonk, Monday, 6 September 2021 21:50 (four years ago)

With French cars could it be Algeria?
