impressive!
and I was guessing it wasn’t going to be Helsinki again, because we had it not too long ago
Did we? I know we had Tampere but I don't recall Helsinki!
― cherry blossom, Thursday, 29 April 2021 15:21 (three years ago) link
forgot about Tampere! But Helsinki too - I checked: 11 January.

ah yes, I see now - I think it was guessed correctly before I saw it, so it didn't register as much

Thursday II
Google car has taken a hell of a wrong turn there.

Somewhere in Nevada? Bakersfield? I see those black tanker cars on road trips all the time. (Wherever it is, doesn't look very city-like!)

That hovering thing in the front is scaffolding, so maybe somebody climbed up there for the shot?
― Andy the Grasshopper, Thursday, 29 April 2021 18:29 (three years ago) link
There's a sign in the distance between the scaffolding uprights that I thought said "Mia" on the top left, but really it's too indistinct to be sure.

Needs someone with an eye for distinguishing industrial plants. I came across this pulping place in Columbus County, WA, which looks like the right kind of setting at least:

Billings Montana?

If it was petrochemical, it would likely be a much more secure facility - but something is definitely either filling or pumping out those tanker cars on the tracks. And it's pretty green, not dried out like West Texas.

Here's the other side from the highway?

Turku in 29 minutes and Billings in 24. I'm going to have to wear extra hats to facilitate taking my hat off
― cherry blossom, Thursday, 29 April 2021 18:59 (three years ago) link
Rad! Can't believe I got one. I spent a long two weeks in Billings one spring few years back.

lol at Finland quiz. I've had wine gums that have lasted longer.
what's the flag on top of that tower on the left?
― koogs, Thursday, 29 April 2021 19:02 (three years ago) link
Now I really want wine gums. Well done, waterface!
― Alba, Thursday, 29 April 2021 19:04 (three years ago) link
Ha, well played...I thought I detected a red & yellow KOA billboard in the distance, now I can see it's for Denny's.
― Andy the Grasshopper, Thursday, 29 April 2021 19:09 (three years ago) link
Good job. I thought it might be Finland from the signs but either https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_European_road_signs or Turku's end of speed limit signs need updating.
good link for this thread

It does! Funny I never would have gotten it if I hadn't visited there but after that crawling around the city on Google Maps was fun

For some reason, the image is dark sometimes and light others. If its too dark for anyone I'll try reupping it later
― cherry blossom, Wednesday, 12 May 2021 16:39 (two years ago) link
it’s dark for me in Zing, dark when I open the PostImage link in Safari, but it lights up when I click on it. spooky!
― Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 12 May 2021 16:50 (two years ago) link
Fine in Chrome/Windows 10. That's not helping me work out where it is though.

Doesn't half look like Leeds.

We had Leeds the other week though

What time zone is cherry blossom in?

cb, post a photo so we can do this proper

Its really weird, I just tried with a new one and it went dark the minute I uploaded it, let me try somewhere else

oh I didn't think that post through, I meant "post a photo of your time zone so we can guess it" -- sorry if that sounded rude
― rob, Wednesday, 12 May 2021 17:45 (two years ago) link
well, we got a bonus view out of it, with a wider scope. result!

looks like the UK to me, although im not sure about that lamppost.
there's a possibly distinctive bridge (a railway bridge?) in the background

car direction in the first pic indicates RHD, so not UK, but it might just be parked the wrong way round.
― A viking of frowns, (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 12 May 2021 17:51 (two years ago) link
There does seem to be a car pointing in the same direction on the other side of the road.
― Tim, Wednesday, 12 May 2021 18:10 (two years ago) link
Those houses in the first pic are the most UK thing ever. Seems like a fairly big city centre in the distance...
Searching a while based on the tower block design it appears to be a view of Newcastle from Gateshead (mun).
― nashwan, Wednesday, 12 May 2021 18:11 (two years ago) link
It was actually a search for 'durham tower block' (not that I thought this would be Durham itself) that got me this Flickr pic

Today

is that a menu on the table on the right? and is that the Union Jack on the cover? is it a British-themed place somewhere in the world? or a place in a tourist town catering to British visitors?
― Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Thursday, 13 May 2021 19:15 (two years ago) link
could the stuffed bear be a clue?

just asking the questions here
it looks dry, maybe Mediterranean, but very unglamorous

in the distance there's a black sign with red letters that could be Caffe = italian?

I’m just going to say Albania
