#3 is not very easy for Europeans

gabbneb, Monday, 13 October 2008 14:14 (seventeen years ago)

I'm guessing somewhere in the north east of the US - Massachussets or somesuch? Might be way off though. Any clues?

ailsa, Monday, 13 October 2008 14:37 (seventeen years ago)

This is based on trees and scenery looking like it would be somewhere geographically similar to Northern Europe, but that one building and the grid layout of the roads looking American. Am I on the right lines?

ailsa, Monday, 13 October 2008 14:39 (seventeen years ago)

I was thinking upstate NY.

Granny Dainger, Monday, 13 October 2008 14:40 (seventeen years ago)

Damn I thought it was Legoland...

snoball, Monday, 13 October 2008 14:40 (seventeen years ago)

If it had a highway cutting through it it would look like Concord, NH.

gabbneb, Monday, 13 October 2008 14:50 (seventeen years ago)

gabbneb, Monday, 13 October 2008 15:23 (seventeen years ago)

I'd say somewhere in asia, maybe india. Chennai?

Jibe, Monday, 13 October 2008 15:24 (seventeen years ago)

Dead Cat Bounce (Ed), Monday, 13 October 2008 15:24 (seventeen years ago)

bangkok

lil yawne (harbl), Monday, 13 October 2008 15:34 (seventeen years ago)

For such a densely packed in place, it looks a bit Day Of The Triffids. No one in the park, no cars visible on the street. Can't see what the sign says, but it looks more likely to be in Roman script, not Japanese or Chinese.

Not New World, somehow not European-looking, I'd guess India, although that doesn't quite seem right either.

xpost yes maybe Bangkok

Zelda Zonk, Monday, 13 October 2008 15:37 (seventeen years ago)

its not bangkok

joseph sixpack (ice crӕm), Monday, 13 October 2008 15:41 (seventeen years ago)

For the similarly interested:

Ras Al Khaimah is notable for it's climate that is particularly hot and wet even for the region. The highest ever recorded wet bulb temperature from a reputable weather station was at Ras Al Khaimah International airport with a WT of 36.3°C. Because high humidity makes cooling down via perspiration less effective, it makes hot temperatures feel significantly hotter. Wet bulb temperatures above 35°C can prove fatal even for healthy adults.

(which apparently corresponds to a conventional temperature around 49°C / 120°F but also takes humidity into account)

Somehow I don't think I'll be putting Ras Al-Khaimah on my bucket list...

Zelda Zonk, Wednesday, 1 July 2026 04:37 (six days ago)

I only found one of the two images, even though they seem like they must be pretty close to each other. I think this is mainly because looking at Ras Al Khaimah was having a negative effect on my mental health.

(I'll probably come back for the other one regardless)
