Thursday 2.0

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Thursday, 25 August 2022 12:27 (three years ago)

not a station after all!

ciderpress, Thursday, 25 August 2022 13:15 (three years ago)

Those two guys on the bridge look like they could be identical twins.

o. nate, Thursday, 25 August 2022 13:18 (three years ago)

I think it's Wuppertal in Germany...

might be the same person photoed and composited in twice

ciderpress, Thursday, 25 August 2022 13:29 (three years ago)

Phew, and thanks! I got it from the 'lyp cr' tag, then I spotted the monorail which had the right shade of green for its supports but couldn't find that bridge/elevator at all.

the man with the chili in his eyes (ledge), Thursday, 25 August 2022 13:34 (three years ago)

oh wow! good job!

The monorail looks way cool and has its own unusual detail in wikipedia article:

The Wuppertal Suspension Railway, a suspended monorail, serves the city and its surroundings. It has operated since 1901, with new cars added beginning in December 2016. In 1950, a young elephant named Tuffi was put aboard the Wuppertal Schwebebahn (monorail), as a promotion for the Althoff Circus. The swinging tram upset the elephant, and she trumpeted, charged, and plummeted 12 m (40 ft) into the river below. Tuffi suffered minor injuries; she lived until 1989. In 1999, the Schwebebahn had its thus far only fatal accident.

the glass was a station but the elevator didn't go to it, so we were both right and astray

ciderpress, Thursday, 25 August 2022 13:37 (three years ago)

I got it from the 'lyp cr' tag


how though? were you familiar with it?
I mean, I get one or two hits retroactively, but they don’t seem to lead straight to Wuppertal

(also kicking myself for not pursuing that lead, even though I saw it. I mean, what are the chances?)

i searched for '"lyp" "cr" graffiti', second result says "I don't know anything about LYP Crew except they are from NRW, probably from the area Wuppertal" without even clicking through. pretty lucky, i doubt that would happen for most other tags.

the man with the chili in his eyes (ledge), Thursday, 25 August 2022 14:17 (three years ago)

very good work!

big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Thursday, 25 August 2022 15:17 (three years ago)

oh and it was a sideways german flag!

the man with the chili in his eyes (ledge), Thursday, 25 August 2022 15:55 (three years ago)

we should've spotted that the black strip on the left was actually the side of the recessed window.

the man with the chili in his eyes (ledge), Thursday, 25 August 2022 15:56 (three years ago)

why I'll be... I was 100% sure on it being the Belgian flag but did not spot that the black wasn't part of the flag :(

StanM, Thursday, 25 August 2022 17:43 (three years ago)

Good work! The flag was a bit of an optical illusion eh

Looks like Southern California, which the Lakers shorts on the cyclist support. Maybe somewhere near Carpinteria, or Oxnard?

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Saturday, 27 August 2022 18:49 (three years ago)

Looks like one of the bridges over the Santa Clara River in Santa Clarita, CA but can't quite find the exact one.

Elvis Telecom, Saturday, 27 August 2022 23:19 (three years ago)

the one in santa paula has the same railing but isn't it. none of the santa clarita ones i checked had the right railing

ciderpress, Saturday, 27 August 2022 23:41 (three years ago)

And I've been to Mt Rubidoux park right next to it - multiple times even!

Elvis Telecom, Saturday, 27 August 2022 23:46 (three years ago)

credit to your guess though, i only did the easy work of checking a bunch of bridges in the region

nice one!

StanM, Monday, 5 September 2022 10:59 (three years ago)

what gave it away, or did you know the place?

StanM, Monday, 5 September 2022 12:26 (three years ago)

just cropped and yandexed the tower, which eventually brought up this pic https://www.flickr.com/photos/james_mann/15655889666/

micah, Monday, 5 September 2022 12:55 (three years ago)

thanks :)

StanM, Monday, 5 September 2022 13:42 (three years ago)

didn't expect that one to go so quick

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Monday, 12 September 2022 13:20 (three years ago)

ok, so it says "dajemo" on the banner in the back, which Google translate tells me is Croatian (and in Latin script, so not Serbian etc.) but the shirt says "FK Something" and Croatian teams are NK not FK. Hm.

link.exposing.politically (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 12 September 2022 13:43 (three years ago)

I think it's Bosnia (BH Telecom on that banner if I'm not mistaken), and FK does seem to be their version of FC

rob, Monday, 12 September 2022 13:45 (three years ago)

I think I've got it!

So it's Tuzla, apparently the third-largest city in Boznia.

Nice work - I was busy looking at Karlovac in Croatia because the coat of arms on the logo we can see front and centre looks like it might be this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karlovačko, but it's an international brand by the looks.

Tim, Monday, 12 September 2022 14:00 (three years ago)

Glad someone got that, I'd forgotten where it was, looks to be correct though!

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 14 September 2022 02:48 (three years ago)

I had the image saved from some time previously, and must have rejected it for the one of the two women at the water park instead

taking a hard line on local rivals Nancy there, a piece of graffito which immediately made me assume it was an Anglophone country

Critique of the Goth Programme (Neil S), Wednesday, 14 September 2022 12:44 (three years ago)

it took me 2mn once i saw the tag, cos of fcsm which is french football club fc sochaux montbéliard, the nancy being fucked is fc nancy, so i started looking for football pitches in sochaux

Jibe, Wednesday, 14 September 2022 12:46 (three years ago)

sorry the other club is as nancy lorraine, not fc nancy

Jibe, Wednesday, 14 September 2022 12:48 (three years ago)
