Monday SV

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Monday, 22 November 2021 10:55 (four years ago)

Initial thought: those bigger houses feel scandinavian - but it could just as easily be Scotland or something like the flatter parts of Austria, maybe? :-/

Can't quite make out what's on the road (bottom) - xxxT xxNAS ? (west/east something nas?)

Trying to see if the cars drive on the left or right but that three lane road is very confusing - looking at the arrows near the bottom of the pic all three lanes are coming our way, but a bit further away, between the trees, it looks like there's an arrow that splits into left/straight on for traffic coming from where we are - so which is it?

StanM, Monday, 22 November 2021 12:15 (four years ago)

Looks like driving on the left to me, I can't see an arrow indicating the left lane is coming our way, only the one higher up. Can't make out the writing on the road on the right hand lane beyond __Y ___S - any lanes? left turns? Might be a place name instead of an instruction.

I think that's the UK, and it might be Lancaster?

That could be a currys / pc world logo on the left edge in the middle - have looked at a few megastores with no joy though.

The roads and carparks all look very quiet!

namaste darkness my old friend (ledge), Monday, 22 November 2021 14:50 (four years ago)

Might look silly in a bit but I'm pretty confident that is not the UK. First thought was Scandinavia

Writing on the road says CITY DINAS (city in welsh)!

nice, well done!

Critique of the Goth Programme (Neil S), Monday, 22 November 2021 16:53 (four years ago)

Ah man, I was gonna say if it is the UK it could only be Wales, honest! Well done

ignore the blue line (or something), Monday, 22 November 2021 16:59 (four years ago)

yeah the last time we had somewhere that looked like england but with trees it was wales.

wooo! nice one!

StanM, Monday, 22 November 2021 18:11 (four years ago)

see, this small arrow to the right (in front of the car) was the one that made me think all three lanes went the same way (it still is, a bit) - but it's a roundabout

Good work on this one , you were correct on the Curry's / PC World logo, and on the DINAS marking - neither of which I had picked up on. True about the tree coverage as well

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Tuesday, 23 November 2021 08:54 (four years ago)

Yeah I was pretty confident about the currys/pc world, i didn't have the patience to look at every megastore on a map but the white frontage with dark horizontal line is fairly distinctive and luckily it came up in an image search for currys pc world megastore retail park.

if you look straight down, the drone is hanging above a small hill with a spiral path that's apparently not labeled on google maps? Is this some kind of prehistoric site?

StanM, Tuesday, 23 November 2021 10:09 (four years ago)

On openstreetmap it's labelled as white rock park, which led me here http://whiterocktrails.org/ which despite dozens of pages is not super clear on the history of the site, i can't find anything about the mound or paths.

namaste darkness my old friend (ledge), Tuesday, 23 November 2021 10:26 (four years ago)

Industrail not prehistoric though.

out on the street

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Thursday, 25 November 2021 08:33 (four years ago)

idk but there's a ghost under the pedestrian crossing sign.

namaste darkness my old friend (ledge), Thursday, 25 November 2021 08:44 (four years ago)

Probably a German-speaking location, as the poster has the slogan 'Selbsthilfe'.

Portsmouth Bubblejet, Thursday, 25 November 2021 09:13 (four years ago)

Mallorca then?

StanM, Thursday, 25 November 2021 09:29 (four years ago)

to the right of the ghost there's an arrow pointing to the right with something that I can't read but it somehow doesn't look like western letters?

StanM, Thursday, 25 November 2021 09:36 (four years ago)

The German sign is for a self-help group ('Selbsthilfe') offering support for people with alcohol and prescription drug ('Medikamente') issues.

The eagle logo to the right of it may be the symbol of the self-help group, as the background is the same colour.

Portsmouth Bubblejet, Saturday, 27 November 2021 12:38 (four years ago)

There are pedestrian crossing signs like that in Mallorca.

o. nate, Saturday, 27 November 2021 23:47 (four years ago)

I haven't really found where to go look around yet on Mallorca, to be honest

oh wow! well done!

StanM, Sunday, 28 November 2021 20:01 (four years ago)

how did you find it?

StanM, Sunday, 28 November 2021 20:03 (four years ago)

Mainly luck, don't really know as I thought I'd start in Germany. I was looking for 'moto' cafe then realised it was Euro Lloto, which are all over. Somehow on Google maps it was showing me different locations with the inside photos - I clicked on a few and one looked like the one in the photo, so clicked around it.

kinder, Sunday, 28 November 2021 20:09 (four years ago)

That one went quick - quite a few clues in that photo so I thought it might

I haven't seen a bar showing teletext before

Looks very much like Barrow-In-Furness to me.

It was just a speculative punt based on what looked like the clock tower in the distance with the submarine hall next to it to the left.

haha well done!

The gut feeling ones are the best ones

ignore the blue line (or something), Monday, 29 November 2021 11:27 (four years ago)

oosh, that one was well guessed - the feel ones are definitely the best

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Monday, 29 November 2021 15:59 (four years ago)

omg! world record? :-)

StanM, Monday, 29 November 2021 16:16 (four years ago)

+ I was today years old when I learned what a submarine hall looks like.

StanM, Monday, 29 November 2021 17:53 (four years ago)

One lucky guess does not make you as good as the rest of you. I just lurk in case a miracle like this comes up.

I'm busy the rest of the week, happy for anybody else to post the next one.
