Guess the City

Just as I suspected, cherry blossom has done that thing were guessing the city on the guess the city thread isn't enough

But I was right three days ago and have finally found the spot in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

17 Puente Galcerán
https://maps.app.goo.gl/VgKFVozixEDqUsNc6

I was going to mention that the big palm on the left is a Canary Island date palm, but those are commonly grown elsewhere too (I have one in my back yard).

nice one! I gave up too soon with Santa Cruz.

Santa Cruz!

The original streetviews are just to the South of this one, same road

thread title is "Guess the City", not "provide coordinates of this photograph" or "give complete supporting evidence for identifying the city" ...

it's more fun this way imho

This way does sort of reduce it to either knowing it at first glance or leaving it to those with the time/tenacity to trawl through Google Maps. Still a great thread, either way.

Yeah finding the actual spot is where the fun is

It's cherry blossom's thread so i'm fine to play by their rules but we should probably establish that just guessing the city doesn't cut it anymore or we get incidents where people assume a city has been ruled out because it was guessed and unacknowledged

So that first wall was this: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Asociaci%C3%B3n+Familiar+Pro+Discapacitados+Intelectuales+de+Tenerife/@28.4628484,-16.256673,3a,75y,252.43h,101.03t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sy5TBBAe9pNJ2t_3eJu4D9A!2e0!7i16384!8i8192!4m5!3m4!1s0xc41cc8349ea8fbb:0xc3fdcea7689829e!8m2!3d28.4626662!4d-16.2570545

Still puzzled by the purpose of that wall

I kind of like having the guess be supported by some kind of visual evidence. Makes it more challenging that way and also makes sure the thread doesn't devolve into people just throwing out names of a bunch of random cities (not that this has happened).

R.....ers P....t

doesn't ring a bell & that RP logo isn't easily found on google either (or I'm doing it wrong)

can't find it either on google or yandex.

sign probably saying 'SALE' in the window suggests an english speaking country.

lots of them in germany, or there were, looks like the company is no longer in business.

Schadowstraße 68, 40212 Düsseldorf, Germany

I think it might be a Uniqlo now.

damn, just found it myself!

The anglicism 'Sale' replaced the German words 'Sommerschlussverkauf' and 'Winterschlussverkauf' a while ago, much to the relief of German sign-writers.

I recognised the store logo, but was beaten to the punch on Düsseldorf.

The premises in Schadowstraße is now an opticians, I think: https://ergra-low-vision.de/

nice find!

I thought it was Sonderangebot!

Good find, but I was also looking for the identity of the man

No idea, but I'd move there in a heartbeat

Thinking China

looks somewhere equatorial and colonial but i don't see any mosques. maybe somewhere like macau but the towers aren't big enough.

It’s so flat!

Yeah, not Macau because there isn't a weird space needle thing, and this isn't taken from the weird space needle thing

I still think it's China. In most countries a river that size would allow you to narrow it down to coastal cities, but not China. Doesn't look muddy enough to be the Yellow River or the Yangtze at least

is the ultra modern looking thing on the left a stadium or a train station?
+ these very colorful buildings in the front, a circus tent - amusement park maybe?

Architecture in the foreground doesn't look Chinese to me. Unless maybe it is a college campus deliberately designed to look Western or something.

The groupings of distant buildings remind me strikingly of South Korea

Dnipro, Ukraine?

I was going to say, looks a bit like one of those previous photos that turned out to be in the Ukraine or Russia.

Looks more like Kiev tbh, the island in the middle matches up with maps in a certain way.

something distinctive at the very far left (when I zoom in).. the white space odyssey bldg

I could be totally wrong since I don't see any onion domes.

Can't find the aerial shot but I really want to go to northern China now. It's Harbin

great find - I had been looking at big cities on rivers near the sea in the South but had given up

I was switching between the south and the north and the Russia comments above made me refocus on the north

Well done. Was hoping to get some idea of what all those russian style buildings are, they're not identified in google maps itself but I found a user review: Located in the Sun Island Scenic Area, Russian-style Town is a Russian-themed tourist spot and sightseeing area. The town retains a few dozen Russian-style villas and private residences. You can walk into these buildings for a visit.

The space age building on the far left, however, is completely unmarked.

The space age building is Harbin Grand Theatre

ah, the one pic i didn't look at!
