Yeah, the plate itself doesn't really matter (its not PA anyway, top and bottom band take up too much space)

It looks pretty steep, from the trees and need for such a wooden structure to access the house, but you can't see much in the distance. Some humid northern climate.

That truck looks like a work truck (tool boxes, spray cans) rather than a moving truck.

The cars seems a bit older than I would expect in a middle class city area, so maybe outside a city in a rural area. Also, the houses are pretty modest for a "view" area.

Could be the hilly south too (Appalachia).

looks like the "back" of those houses--wonder what they are all facing? does look like a steep drop off

Pittsburgh somewhere??? That looks like a Penna plate

a (waterface), Wednesday, 27 July 2022 12:11 (three years ago)

Definitely looks like a steep drop, hillside of some sort

That looks like a Penna plate

Aren't the bands wrong though? The blue and yellow look too thick, take up too much space

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 27 July 2022 12:38 (three years ago)

yeah you're right--those are also white letters which at a quick glance it looks like PA has blue letters

a (waterface), Wednesday, 27 July 2022 13:11 (three years ago)

but it looks like maybe no states have white letters?

poking around Mt Washington areas of Pittsburgh and I feel like I'm close

a (waterface), Wednesday, 27 July 2022 14:47 (three years ago)

Those houses don't look emotional enough to be Pittsburgh houses

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 27 July 2022 15:00 (three years ago)

trees and smoky air look wast coast to me?

I have more helpful pictures when you are ready. It seems google did the neighborhood on very different days.

AFAIK, Pennsylvania is the only state to use that color scheme in its license plates.

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 27 July 2022 21:32 (three years ago)

Those roofs are weird looking.

Look closely, that is all. (doo dah), Thursday, 28 July 2022 01:28 (three years ago)

Agree that the houses/cars look a bit basic and give the impression it's not a particularly well off area.

Zelda Zonk, Thursday, 28 July 2022 02:20 (three years ago)

I'm not convinced it's even in the US.

I thought the trees might help but if you're high up a mountain that could be harder again. The not-too-modern feel of it all is making me think Costa Rica maybe? no idea though

StanM, Thursday, 28 July 2022 06:18 (three years ago)

Puerto, not Costa

StanM, Thursday, 28 July 2022 06:19 (three years ago)

Never been to Puerto Rico but not really getting a Caribbean island vibe from that pic. Still thinking it's somewhere a bit cold and damp in mainland USA

Zelda Zonk, Thursday, 28 July 2022 12:12 (three years ago)

I can see clearly now the rain is gone,
I can see all the obstacles in my way,
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind…

404 error. LOL. This is the quality I bring people. Try again.

horizontal, Thursday, 28 July 2022 14:47 (three years ago)

yeah, no longer thinking Puerto Rico now. Canada/North America yes

StanM, Thursday, 28 July 2022 15:43 (three years ago)

Somewhere near a lake, I see two boats.

nickn, Thursday, 28 July 2022 16:01 (three years ago)

Somewhere in Alaska maybe.

Look closely, that is all. (doo dah), Thursday, 28 July 2022 16:08 (three years ago)

looks like a lake or river in the distance in shot 2?

ciderpress, Thursday, 28 July 2022 17:27 (three years ago)

or maybe just fog

ciderpress, Thursday, 28 July 2022 17:27 (three years ago)

I poked around Juneau for a bit the other day, it did look right for a few reasons but I couldn't find the spot

rob, Thursday, 28 July 2022 17:30 (three years ago)

The bumpy little hills on the other side of the bay/sound are pretty distinctive

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Thursday, 28 July 2022 17:52 (three years ago)

alaska has yellow license plates which we see in pic 2 but not on the sedan or the truck in pic 1, what are the chances. seems like the least likely state to have 2 out of state vehicles in one place (from 2 different states)

ciderpress, Thursday, 28 July 2022 18:02 (three years ago)

i guess if the sedan is a BC plate then that improves the odds a little

ciderpress, Thursday, 28 July 2022 18:04 (three years ago)

wait there's a pic 2?

rob, Thursday, 28 July 2022 18:05 (three years ago)

ketchikan, AK

ciderpress, Thursday, 28 July 2022 18:08 (three years ago)

nice work!

rob, Thursday, 28 July 2022 18:10 (three years ago)

Great work, Ciderpress. I didn’t really wander far from picture 1. If for some reason it was going to carry on longer there are many street view pics with a massive cruise liner in the port.

horizontal, Thursday, 28 July 2022 18:12 (three years ago)

good one!

StanM, Thursday, 28 July 2022 18:19 (three years ago)

bravo! how did you get to it?

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Thursday, 28 July 2022 18:50 (three years ago)

i followed my previous train of thought of 'white plates in alaska -> might be BC plates -> alaska near BC' and then was lucky enough to drop the streetview guy right on the same block as pic #2 when i checked that town

ciderpress, Thursday, 28 July 2022 19:04 (three years ago)

props to the people who identified it as alaska though, i was looking in oregon before that

ciderpress, Thursday, 28 July 2022 19:05 (three years ago)

damn, all those posts on blue white yellow plates earlier and somehow missed that one

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Tuesday, 2 August 2022 07:01 (three years ago)

Britain, but which part?

StanM, Tuesday, 2 August 2022 07:15 (three years ago)

is there a (maybe even non-horizontal) football pitch behind that building?

StanM, Tuesday, 2 August 2022 08:10 (three years ago)

could be Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Lancashire, up to the Scottish Borders. Be tough to narrow down

ignore the blue line (or something), Tuesday, 2 August 2022 09:42 (three years ago)

Is it a city or is it a town?
