31st is in Asia, and 27th isn't!

cherry blossom, Saturday, 1 August 2020 09:48 (three years ago) link

oh yeah, I meant the 31st, sorry. East Asia, no? (but that will probably all from me)

Another angle for 18th August

not a clue.

ominous looking and disused Eastern European train station?

I'm struck by how it's all very clean, with no litter or visible graffiti.

There's some characters/a logo on the modern building in the background on the right hand side of the last photo, but I'm not sure what to make of them - are they Japanese maybe?

Definitely wondering about Asia, but struggling to guess a country even.

In the first photo there's a motorway-esque road in the background with green gantry signs, if anyone knows which countries use that colour for those.

There also looks like what could be two flags on the right in front of the road, but sadly no wind to display them. Looks like they might be white and red, maybe blue too? My brain keeps filling them in as British flags, but that seems like nonsense.

ah, interesting. seem to be characters that are either not roman (nor Cyrillic) or if they are perhaps with diacritics not usually found in European languages

Could be Vietnamese, Hanoi?

those bare trees make me think it isn't subtropical tho

are those .. american flags? red white and blue at least

Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Friday, 21 August 2020 19:29 (three years ago) link

Those look like US green highway signs in the first picture and honestly everything about this looks like a desolate NJ Transit station except the wooden slats on the train tracks

Guayaquil (eephus!), Friday, 21 August 2020 19:33 (three years ago) link

this is USA for sure

budo jeru, Friday, 21 August 2020 19:39 (three years ago) link

ah

Temporary Erogenous Zone (jim in vancouver), Friday, 21 August 2020 19:39 (three years ago) link

The shape of the buildings feels like New Jersey but that obelisky thing in the first picture is making me consider Massachusetts.

Guayaquil (eephus!), Friday, 21 August 2020 19:41 (three years ago) link

definitely east coast, mid atlantic-new england

Great team effort, finished off with precision by Yerac. Hartford it is!

cherry blossom, Friday, 21 August 2020 20:27 (three years ago) link

The strange writing is of course the logo for a Red Roof Inn

cherry blossom, Friday, 21 August 2020 20:33 (three years ago) link

I was close, it starts with "Ha!"

nickn, Friday, 21 August 2020 20:37 (three years ago) link

lol

I feel like my answer of "it seems like Massachusetts but also like a desolate part of New Jersey" was morally correct

Saturday atmosphere

baku ?

Tirana?

オニモ (onimo), Saturday, 22 August 2020 18:35 (three years ago) link

Lots of clues (poverty, light skin-tones, ex-communist-style architecture) that indicate the poorer parts of Europe or west/central Asia. The most intriguing clue is how flat the landscape is, so most of the Balkans are out. Looks more like the steppes than a littoral, since it is so bereft of vegetation.

Second angle, facing the other way

Ferentari, Bucharest?

I_Got_Loaded, Sunday, 23 August 2020 14:46 (three years ago) link

Stolipinovo?

I_Got_Loaded, Sunday, 23 August 2020 14:55 (three years ago) link

idk feels like we have a winner here, no?

No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Sunday, 23 August 2020 15:07 (three years ago) link

I would have accepted Plovdiv given thats the city, but if we're down to neighbourhood level then Stolipinovo is a gold star answer!

cherry blossom, Sunday, 23 August 2020 15:44 (three years ago) link

that's impressive! because of this i found a documentary about stolipinovo on youtube that i will save to watch later.

contorted filbert (harbl), Sunday, 23 August 2020 18:42 (three years ago) link

Is that the documentary from 2009? I found it and watched yesterday

cherry blossom, Monday, 24 August 2020 05:32 (three years ago) link

yes

Hay can you give us another clue for the 27th July?

Tim, Monday, 24 August 2020 12:17 (three years ago) link

27 July looks northern European, possibly Scandi: Sundsvall?

second shot for 27th July

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 25 August 2020 11:46 (three years ago) link

Looks a bit German to me

Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 25 August 2020 11:51 (three years ago) link

I can see a two-spired cathedral on July 27th photo. Is it Fulda?

my god, it's full of bugles (flamboyant goon tie included), Tuesday, 25 August 2020 17:11 (three years ago) link

Sheffield?

オニモ (onimo), Tuesday, 25 August 2020 17:36 (three years ago) link

no those roofs are extremely mitteleuropäische

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Tuesday, 25 August 2020 17:49 (three years ago) link

the chimney stack in front of the hills does look a lot like the hope valley cement works though!

𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Tuesday, 25 August 2020 17:51 (three years ago) link

that does look like dear old Blighty to me but mind you I've never been to central europe

Temporary Erogenous Zone (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 25 August 2020 18:35 (three years ago) link

i think the roofs are too steep (they're designed for snow) and too red (they're slate in the UK).
