Guess the City

bravo! how did you get to it?

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

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

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

Britain, but which part?

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

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

Is it a city or is it a town?

haven't got a clue. There are a lot of very nice landscapes in Britain though. Well done. :)

yeah that could be anywhere north of derbyshire.

looks like some sort of abandoned facility behind there whatever it is, or else seasonal (fairgrounds?)

certainly has a football ground type vibe to it

yeah I've been looking for football pitches on the outskirts of the likes of Rochdale, Oldham, Buxton, Blackburn and Burnley but nothing as yet

I wonder if the wooden repairs to the (canteen?) mean that there was a fire there (somewhere before 2019 as that is the Google copyright date) & this window+roof are new but then the budget was gone? (Or that I just have an over-active imagination)

Not much to go on, other than it looks like the north of England. And even that doesn't seem certain, I mean it could be Ireland or Scotland.

Also looks very Welsh valleys

If it wasn't for the car parked the wrong way, it could even be Brittany!

That's definitely Wales I reckon

... what is that green box/object ? A fancy garbage bin, so close to another one just outside the park?

I'm curious about that strange gate in the fence. Is that perhaps a gate to a dog run, designed to keep dogs from running out while the gate is open? I've never seen that design before. That might explain the small garbage bin on the fence (for dog waste) vs the larger bin outside.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kissing_gate

The name comes from the gate merely "kissing" (touching) the inside of the enclosure.

What nonsense. As I tell all my friends whenever we come across such a gate, it comes from the fact that you have to give the person in front a kiss before they allow you to pass through.

what kind of track is that? BMX would be partly dirt, right?

Not necessarily, see e.g. the last Olympics! I've been searching for (grim) pump track (wales).

oh right, pump track is a variety too - thx

thanks for the dn

lol

I feel like that fancy rectangular garbage thing (if it is one) is pretty distinctive maybe, no?

do the wind turbines mean "near a coast" ?

Not necessarily, they're all over the country here. Maybe the bin has some distinguishing features up close but it wouldn't look out of place to me anywhere in the UK.

okay, I hoped my questions would help but they don't :-)

I don't know, it feels very flat for Wales - unless I've happened to only have clicked on more hilly parts

I've definitely seen those bins in Wales. This looks like it could be somewhere like Caerphilly.

i agree this might be wales, but i've seen those bins all over. very generic uk bin imo.

if that’s a hint that narrows it down to either:

Wrexham, or:

Swansea

nah I was just riffing on the design of the bin!

That's an awkward gate for a BMX track - tricky getting your bike through it. If it's Wales, then there can't be that many BMX tracks in Welsh cities, but buggered if I'm going to look through them all.

Not that it helps really, but in the mid-distance in the 2nd pic there's a playing field with lights, which may correspond to the seating and lights of the first pic.

you can see the building from pic 1 (and the playing field) in the background of pic 2.

its possible that the kissing gate, while normally meant for cattle, has been adopted here to keep motorbikes off the pump track.

nah I was just riffing on the design of the bin!

this is hard

Bearsden has a pump track that looks right but Street View has a hedge rather than a fence. Also another one in Greater Glasgow that has the right buildings but downhill instead of uphill.

Whew, this one is hard, even with a hint!
