Hmm maybe I shouldn't say that, everything is obvious after the fact, can't really say without unseeing

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 8 March 2023 17:49 (three years ago)

I have no idea tbh, which would be explainable if it is indeed a North American town (sorry, city) as was suggested above. hope someone else who hasn’t seen the url can get this one moving

It looks very familiar to me. Which means it is one place, or it is unfamiliar.

OK - not sure where that picture is taken from, but the way I know it is from seeing it on the North Side of the Tappan Zee driving over into the dirty Jerz.

a drone somewhere above memorial park playground I guess, but I can't find the exact link on google maps either

nice! not google earth or streetview then?

StanM, Thursday, 9 March 2023 08:21 (three years ago)

so, for all of us who are not from New York, I’m assuming you’re talking about Nyack, a place I’ve never heard of.

this is the only Niack I know and love

is it fuck

ledge, Wednesday, 15 March 2023 15:54 (three years ago)

western US i guess? never seen those black and white chevrons before but we're driving on the right and there's a US-style street sign in the back there

ciderpress, Wednesday, 15 March 2023 16:18 (three years ago)

i've found one american roundabout with similar chevrons.

ledge, Wednesday, 15 March 2023 16:20 (three years ago)

that house is pretty anomalous if this is the western us. also the flora doesn't look right. i think it's aus or nz.

ꙮ (map), Wednesday, 15 March 2023 16:25 (three years ago)

except they all drive on the left *shrug*

ꙮ (map), Wednesday, 15 March 2023 16:26 (three years ago)

those roundabout chevrons in the western us are usually yellow iirc. canada?

ꙮ (map), Wednesday, 15 March 2023 16:28 (three years ago)

i found black and white ones in arizona though not the same exact make

looks like a dry region which is why i said western, dunno if anywhere in canada looks like that foliage wise. maybe i'm being duped

ciderpress, Wednesday, 15 March 2023 16:32 (three years ago)

state that has white license plate and requires front license plate. california fits both

ciderpress, Wednesday, 15 March 2023 16:42 (three years ago)

nice one!

StanM, Wednesday, 15 March 2023 17:24 (three years ago)

Maybe thinking about Oroville with all the rain we're getting?

nickn, Wednesday, 15 March 2023 17:38 (three years ago)

how did you get it?

ledge, Wednesday, 15 March 2023 19:36 (three years ago)

holy crap - hats off to you!

StanM, Wednesday, 15 March 2023 20:20 (three years ago)

Impressive.

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 15 March 2023 22:26 (three years ago)

So there are about as many roundabouts in the entirety of California as in the average UK town?

or something, Wednesday, 15 March 2023 22:50 (three years ago)

They are not at all common ime, either in California or in most other states.

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 15 March 2023 22:54 (three years ago)

keep your eye on the abandoned green and white building and go round the roundabout - instant time travel!

ledge, Thursday, 16 March 2023 09:59 (three years ago)

instant time travel!

I wish I could find it again but there's an amazing time travel sequence from 2009 onwards where there is a row of derelict houses, that then get knocked down, becomes a building site, is replaced with a new row of houses, and finally at least one of the houses starts to become derelict again

a town called Groundhog?

italia?

ciderpress, Wednesday, 22 March 2023 18:15 (three years ago)

Not a lot to go there but it looks kind of dry and Mediterranean. Maybe southern Italy or southern Spain.

Zelda Zonk, Thursday, 23 March 2023 08:43 (three years ago)

Would love a close-up of that crushed red can/cup but otherwise not much to go on.

The chevrons fit Italy/Spain.

Trying to work out what the tall structures on the right are.

Eyeball Kicks, Thursday, 23 March 2023 10:07 (three years ago)

Ankara?

assert (matttkkkk), Thursday, 23 March 2023 10:40 (three years ago)

Trees look as though they might be olive trees. Assuming the elevated thoroughfare is a train line, I'm wondering why it has to be elevated in what looks like a flat terrain. In any case an expensive piece of infrastructure so I'm guessing we're looking at a relatively poor region but in a relatively rich country, so still checking out for southern Italy or Spain

Zelda Zonk, Thursday, 23 March 2023 10:56 (three years ago)

turkish chevrons are red and white

could be italy, greece, or spain

looks like a recently built rail viaduct. probably unelectrified and single track. cant be too many of those

micah, Sunday, 26 March 2023 12:03 (three years ago)

squinting at the grafitti but other than 5 FMT (maybe) and some weird symbols I don't recognize at all... nothing

italian tow-away sign

ꙮ (map), Monday, 3 April 2023 18:37 (three years ago)

i'm guessing it's northern italy based on the evergreens?

ꙮ (map), Monday, 3 April 2023 18:39 (three years ago)

maybe not tho idk

ꙮ (map), Monday, 3 April 2023 18:46 (three years ago)

Yes looking a lot less southern in this pic. It looks like a new-build train station somewhere rural, presumably just outside a city. I don't know about Italy, but in France, the newer TGV lines often have their stations somewhere rural, a short drive from the town/city it's associated with. Maybe Italy has something similar so we'd be looking at a relatively recently built high-speed rail station.

Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 4 April 2023 00:28 (three years ago)

I may be wrong but the structure on the right (second pic) looks like a passageway for people and bikes to jump over a main road or highway, with the separators in the middle. Autostrada signs are green in Italy though.
Climate looks too dry for Northern Italy on first pic (olive trees and cacti, dry river). Pretty derelict infrastructure too.

Nabozo, Tuesday, 4 April 2023 07:10 (three years ago)

Doesn't southern Spain have a lot of those unfinished type "oops, we went bankrupt before we could finish building your holiday villa" type regions?

StanM, Tuesday, 4 April 2023 12:48 (three years ago)

Oh man, I have BEEN in the roundabout in Oroville— I lived in Chico for a while, I immediately recognized it.
