Tuesday

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Tuesday, 21 June 2022 17:36 (three years ago)

Great one again! I'd guess this is on a medium sized lake - nothing to protect against tides. But where? I wanna say it feels like North America/Canada maybe?

StanM, Tuesday, 21 June 2022 17:51 (three years ago)

I want to say Panama City purely because it looks like the same view as that John Darwin photo.

(Which it isn't now I look at it but I've typed the first bit already.)

definitely a deciduous zone. is that a mall left front?

somehow this doesn't feel like north america to me, too many apartment blocks

oops sorry I forgot, I have one for next tho

(not getting anywhere yet - there are a lot of nice cities on lakes all over the world though)

StanM, Thursday, 23 June 2022 17:26 (three years ago)

Not as many churches as I would expect in a densely built area for a Western country. I see one steepled building but it's pretty small.

nickn, Thursday, 23 June 2022 18:43 (three years ago)

why has that building on the left for a massive tower on it? it's not a crane because they aren't building. aerial?

koogs, Saturday, 25 June 2022 14:29 (three years ago)

for = got

koogs, Saturday, 25 June 2022 14:29 (three years ago)

good question - other buildings nearby are higher and would be better locations for aerials

StanM, Saturday, 25 June 2022 17:36 (three years ago)

construction is going on in the bottom panel of the second window though, maybe these locations are linked

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Thursday, 30 June 2022 04:57 (three years ago)

what a peculiar (tower/gate/?) in the bottom right corner

StanM, Thursday, 30 June 2022 06:18 (three years ago)

is that a bridge? looks like there's water just next to it

koogs, Thursday, 30 June 2022 06:24 (three years ago)

That tower has a South or SE Asian vibe to me.

nickn, Thursday, 30 June 2022 06:45 (three years ago)

looks like cyrillic(??) script on the biggest building front center

the cat needs to start paying for its own cbd (map), Thursday, 30 June 2022 12:52 (three years ago)

lots of medium size blocky apartment buildings makes me think eastern europe

ciderpress, Thursday, 30 June 2022 13:17 (three years ago)

how many km across does that lake/river look?

ciderpress, Thursday, 30 June 2022 14:11 (three years ago)

not having any luck with eastern europe cities on a wide river or lake, where else looks like that?

ciderpress, Thursday, 30 June 2022 14:34 (three years ago)

New Rochelle???

I_Got_Loaded, Thursday, 30 June 2022 14:39 (three years ago)

oh lol so it is

ciderpress, Thursday, 30 June 2022 14:49 (three years ago)

new york is basically eastern europe, in my defense

ciderpress, Thursday, 30 June 2022 14:50 (three years ago)

There's very clearly a city of some size in the distance— those aren't mountains.

broccoli rabe thomas (the table is the table), Thursday, 30 June 2022 15:29 (three years ago)

what the...? wow

StanM, Thursday, 30 June 2022 17:24 (three years ago)

yeah i completely missed the horizon line having city buildings in the 2nd photo

ciderpress, Thursday, 30 June 2022 17:30 (three years ago)

ok, the difference between high and low tides there is only 8 ft (2,4 m), not much needed re: dams/dykes etc

StanM, Thursday, 30 June 2022 17:31 (three years ago)

all of my assumptions were wrong based on that alone - I r dum.

StanM, Thursday, 30 June 2022 17:42 (three years ago)

New Rochelle it is, interesting what people do and don't notice in a view!

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Friday, 1 July 2022 16:21 (three years ago)

Okay, my turn

Weekend vibe

if that isn't Africa I'm eating my hat (and I don't even have one)

StanM, Friday, 1 July 2022 17:05 (three years ago)

I wouldn't rule out the Caribbean but (sub-Saharan?) Africa seems like a good place to start

rob, Friday, 1 July 2022 17:07 (three years ago)

Could even be Guyana.

nickn, Friday, 1 July 2022 18:05 (three years ago)

I'm gonna have to buy a hat, aren't I

StanM, Friday, 1 July 2022 18:14 (three years ago)

I consider Guyana to be part of the Caribbean but yeah it needn't be an island

That said, I have no idea where to start with this...Kenya? Mauritius?

rob, Friday, 1 July 2022 18:18 (three years ago)

I see where you're going with some of those, but for now at least I'm sticking with East-Central Africa (though not with much conviction)

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Friday, 1 July 2022 18:19 (three years ago)

I'm pretty confident it's Africa though - look at this in South Africa (it's not the location of the pic but)

StanM, Friday, 1 July 2022 18:21 (three years ago)

xp
yeah Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Tanzania, all seem possible to me too. I briefly looked at Madagascar for a minute

rob, Friday, 1 July 2022 18:22 (three years ago)

Kampala does not look un-promising

rob, Friday, 1 July 2022 18:27 (three years ago)

Mbabane, Eswatini? buildings and terrain look very similar but i have no real landmarks to confirm with

ciderpress, Saturday, 2 July 2022 01:42 (three years ago)

Kampala was making a compelling case, but that type of gate doesn't seem to exist there.

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Monday, 4 July 2022 00:12 (three years ago)

let me know if you want another photo.

broccoli rabe thomas (the table is the table), Monday, 4 July 2022 15:11 (three years ago)

I would say yes to that personally

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Monday, 4 July 2022 17:24 (three years ago)

I wouldn't say no either - we're not *really* getting anywhere right now imho

StanM, Tuesday, 5 July 2022 15:23 (three years ago)

so cars drive on the left
