there is an encampment for homeless people just a few steps away from that second view tho

well done!

I should make less use of ‘tho’ tho

Asuncion it is

the first pic is immediately to the southeast (I always aim to get subsequent views pretty close to the first view)

It was an Amandau outlet, but one that is now closed down. That wasn't intentional, I only realised when I forgot where it was and had to play my own city in order to find it again to find a nearby image for the second view

I was thinking not Asunción because it had been mentioned ITT already. (other cities in Paraguay are pretty odd it seems)

Asunción was a work in progress! I was basically waiting for the next view to get confirmation (although, granted, it could have potentially also been a different Paraguayan city)

I’m aware of that, that’s why it kinda baffled me that I wasn’t able to locate it.

aware of the second clause, that is

Partly I was away from my computer for most of last week, partly I'd forgotten where it actually was, and partly I wanted to give a chance for someone to find the view (even though I couldn't remember where it was myself)

It appears quite a few of the other cities in Paraguay are just extensions of Asuncion!

Friday time Streetview time

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Friday, 18 November 2022 07:09 (one year ago) link

Almost certainly Britain. Bottom half of the wall looks like Bath Stone or Cotswold Stone which doesn't make it far out of those areas.

Road marking are not typical for the uk though - or those sluice valve markers.

ledge, Friday, 18 November 2022 09:08 (one year ago) link

sv means stop valve ime but yes it does indicate an english speaking country

micah, Friday, 18 November 2022 11:19 (one year ago) link

can't be that many castles with trampolines

koogs, Friday, 18 November 2022 22:21 (one year ago) link

oh, I thought that was netting for catching falling building chunks

StanM, Friday, 18 November 2022 22:49 (one year ago) link

I think it's safe to say we haven't got a clue? :-)

Help? :(

StanM, Wednesday, 30 November 2022 16:35 (one year ago) link

Another clue please cherry blossom!

Here's a game for all you OSINT fans, in the photo below is a location you have to find I'll give you a hint it's in donbass and you have to come back with the exact location in the replies.

Aiden Aslin has posted one here as well if anyone wants a go at that too

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 7 December 2022 15:11 (one year ago) link

first instinct is New Zealand. maybe on an estuary? no time to search right now tho

or something, Wednesday, 7 December 2022 18:23 (one year ago) link

pittosporums (i think) & a tī kōuka/cabbage tree would suggest so... getting a south island vibe. is corrugated iron roofing even a thing outside the south pacific?

driving on the left side of the road

StanM, Wednesday, 7 December 2022 21:35 (one year ago) link

So the road markings from the first picture are a clearway which is also a bike lane. Also applies to Australia.

As shown here:

Hello I'm shitty gatsworth (aldo), Wednesday, 7 December 2022 22:45 (one year ago) link

an australian c2 line has evenly spaced breaks 3m on 3m off. at least in nsw. looks like nz.

micah, Wednesday, 7 December 2022 23:33 (one year ago) link

The vehicle registration ticket in the bottom corner of the windscreen looks like New Zealand

nate woolls, Wednesday, 7 December 2022 23:38 (one year ago) link

Dunedin?

Zelda Zonk, Wednesday, 7 December 2022 23:45 (one year ago) link

Could be Lyttelton

nate woolls, Thursday, 8 December 2022 00:09 (one year ago) link

So, Christchurch.

nate woolls, Thursday, 8 December 2022 00:10 (one year ago) link

I wasn't sure if it was Kandallah or Newlands looking across to East Harbour, so Wellington.

Hello I'm shitty gatsworth (aldo), Thursday, 8 December 2022 00:11 (one year ago) link

Yeah I don't think it is Lyttelton/Banks Peninsula, it looks much too populated.

nate woolls, Thursday, 8 December 2022 00:14 (one year ago) link

dunedin fits the geography, i couldn't find the castle though

ciderpress, Thursday, 8 December 2022 00:28 (one year ago) link

Also the neighbourhood watch signs on the pole look very New Zealand

phew. well done!

StanM, Monday, 19 December 2022 22:09 (one year ago) link

great stuff. but where is the castle?

ledge, Tuesday, 20 December 2022 11:59 (one year ago) link

lymington castle:

https://goo.gl/maps/xVPHDAsVgVh7CUgy5

ledge, Tuesday, 20 December 2022 12:15 (one year ago) link

built single-handedly over a 15 year period in the 50s and 60s!

ledge, Tuesday, 20 December 2022 12:17 (one year ago) link

well done, I gave up on the castle

or something, Tuesday, 20 December 2022 12:30 (one year ago) link

good work, was tough to find good views for that one, especially near the castle house itself

Christmas View

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Friday, 23 December 2022 08:25 (one year ago) link

what ARE we looking at here - artificial snow ski slope kind of thing?

StanM, Friday, 23 December 2022 13:16 (one year ago) link

more like the stands of a stadium, no?

the shaker intro bit the shaker outro in the tail, hard (breastcrawl), Friday, 23 December 2022 13:28 (one year ago) link

I think the top of a ski slope looks right - the left hand side as we look at it has nothing behind it and the right hand side drops away
