The fence is a screen door from a Polish submarine…oof I’m funny.

i don't think its all that large on the scale of european water parks

how does that building next to the lady's head have such a white featureless side on the central tower? I don't understand what's going on there.

Based on what I have seen of these European outdoor pools since searching I'd say it was on par with the big ones. Whilst conceding I'm no expert

it's not easy to judge the scale from the pic but it seems to go back pretty far

The combination of the grim fencing and the sheer size makes me think of somewhere like the Moczydło Water Park in Warsaw.

I guess if you had the time and inclination to look through every single water park in Bosnia (and were lucky enough to start there and not Croatia, Slovenia, or Hungary)!
― ledge, Monday, 11 October 2021 18:12 (two years ago) link
It popped up pretty quickly searching "largest outdoor pool bosnia" and yeah I got lucky picking bosnia first but I didn't think it was Croatia

I deliberated over whether to include the shot with the sladoled in, or whether that should have been a 3rd rather than 2nd pic
That park is one popular spot!

- sedan: don't know, could be non-european or just something I've not seen much in Belgium- grille could be an audi- Renault van, Peugeot hatchback = both French (but that doesn't mean France, obv)

are we on a roof or parking garage? the first structure with the door could be airco and the bigger one maybe the top of an elevator/staircase shaft?
― StanM, Wednesday, 13 October 2021 13:21 (two years ago) link
found this article which i'm fairly certain is the storefront: https://www.infomediaire.net/decathlon-ouvre-son-plus-grand-magasin-dafrique-a-casablanca/?fbclid=IwAR0vkbfPfywMIpPes5q81Rla0RX91VxtzEhuW4O75g0-fbQ_sop217NWxmY
gives us the strange glass structure in front

that picture looks like it yes - but is that the new store? Can't seem to find the actual picture/location (it's too new for Google maps I think?)
― StanM, Wednesday, 13 October 2021 14:17 (two years ago) link
I think it should have the location below the DECATHLON and I don't think that says Ain Diab or Corniche or Casablanca...
― StanM, Wednesday, 13 October 2021 14:18 (two years ago) link
maybe it's a Decathlon stock photo?

I just went through the list of locations on the Decathlon website. Unfortunately no photos are provided, but I tried to find ones that seemed to be inside malls, judging from the address, and then checked them out on street view. It was hard to find a street view on the roof of that mall in Lyon, but an interior pic showed the skylight from below, so I thought I was on the right track.

Well, at least I learned that there's a sporting goods company called "DECATHLON" today.
Better than "DICK'S" I guess

That brown office building looks pretty decrepit in the original photo but in the Google street view it’s got a logo of a major corporation (I forget what it’s is).

Original pic was from google maps but doesn't seem to be there now, or at least I can't find it
I think you mentioned before that there was a photo that wasn't showing up on the map for you but you could still see it when it was a direct link?

Some castle type building with floodlights on the (garages? arched thing to the left) ? Quite a fancy street light, too - is it a whole Disney-inspired street/neighbourhood?
