Central America? South America? Southern Europe? (thinking there's too much green for that but not sure) - so... no real idea yet

StanM, Friday, 27 August 2021 13:24 (three years ago) link

Second picture looks like it could be a plaza in a Latin American city.

o. nate, Friday, 27 August 2021 16:55 (three years ago) link

First one looks high altitude/mountainous to me

Guayaquil (eephus!), Friday, 27 August 2021 17:14 (three years ago) link

gonna go out on a limb and guess this is Argentina

Guayaquil (eephus!), Friday, 27 August 2021 17:14 (three years ago) link

I thought Arentina wasn't very mountainous & I'm looking around in Chile, kind of

StanM, Friday, 27 August 2021 18:40 (three years ago) link

Argentina has lots of mountains. The street view could plausibly be Mendoza but I don’t recognise it.

I wish I had any idea but I still don't

StanM, Saturday, 28 August 2021 14:54 (three years ago) link

I don't know either but you get way cooler images if you search on yandex for "abandoned pier south america" than on google.

I think it's the ruins of Florida in 2049

Guayaquil (eephus!), Saturday, 28 August 2021 20:50 (three years ago) link

abandoned resorts are often an Eastern block thing, but this looks too tropical

That looks like a stadium in the background. I'm getting a Mediterranean vibe from this pic.

nickn, Sunday, 29 August 2021 18:58 (three years ago) link

Talked myself into thinking this was Malta but couldn't find matches for the images in Valetta at any rate

That's a docked cruise ship back there, right?

Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 31 August 2021 00:51 (three years ago) link

Fading resort town with palm trees, but guys in first photo look more East European than Mediterranean, and guys in last photo are well wrapped up as if it's pretty cold. Was initially thinking Argentina, but the buildings don't look that South American. Maybe somewhere on the Black Sea? Sochi or somewhere like that? Don't think it's a docked cruise ship btw, I think it's a building.

Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 31 August 2021 01:51 (three years ago) link

Hmm: "While it is well known to many that lots of palms grow in Sochi, Russia, it is not the only place in the country where palms are found."

Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 31 August 2021 02:13 (three years ago) link

Sadly, time does not permit my checking out every resort town on the Black Sea...

Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 31 August 2021 04:08 (three years ago) link

SO many resorts on that coast though! I feel like I've seen 200 piers and I'm only like 5% of the way

StanM, Tuesday, 31 August 2021 12:49 (three years ago) link

um...

Believe me, grow a lemon tree. (ledge), Tuesday, 31 August 2021 13:07 (three years ago) link

I think you found it, StanM. Just a bit further up the beach.

god f* damnit! How did I miss that?

StanM, Tuesday, 31 August 2021 14:55 (three years ago) link

I only clicked on piers, I think :(

StanM, Tuesday, 31 August 2021 14:56 (three years ago) link

ooooooh - view III isn't google earth, is it? ok ok ok

StanM, Tuesday, 31 August 2021 15:03 (three years ago) link

I, III, and IV are all on streetview

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 31 August 2021 15:18 (three years ago) link

Reading about Sukhumi, apparently the destination for Soviet leaders dachas, now capital of Abkhazia, how much more "abandoned Eastern block resort" can you get than that? Nice choice.

fc_TEFH28mo (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Tuesday, 31 August 2021 15:40 (three years ago) link

All of our Guess The Citys from now on should be in "frozen conflict" zones. Next up, guess where in Transnistria!

Bach on harmonica! (Boring, Maryland), Tuesday, 31 August 2021 15:40 (three years ago) link

I want to visit the Sokhumi Monkey Nursery.

nickn, Tuesday, 31 August 2021 16:38 (three years ago) link

Well, that looks less nice than I hoped. Sorry, monkeys.

nickn, Tuesday, 31 August 2021 16:45 (three years ago) link

monkey gulags

fc_TEFH28mo (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Tuesday, 31 August 2021 16:46 (three years ago) link

looks like havana but with techno

confusing - it's like every image is from another part of the world. Love this!

StanM, Tuesday, 31 August 2021 19:08 (three years ago) link

Yeah it looks awesome.

Derek and Clive Get the Horn Street (Boring, Maryland), Tuesday, 31 August 2021 19:11 (three years ago) link

Lack of black and brown people, I think we're in the Eastern bloc again.

Derek and Clive Get the Horn Street (Boring, Maryland), Tuesday, 31 August 2021 19:13 (three years ago) link

Sebastopol/Sevastopol?

Derek and Clive Get the Horn Street (Boring, Maryland), Tuesday, 31 August 2021 19:52 (three years ago) link

Sokhumi!

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 31 August 2021 20:00 (three years ago) link

No! really? LOL

StanM, Tuesday, 31 August 2021 20:28 (three years ago) link

Yeah I was assuming it was more pictures of the same place!

Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 31 August 2021 20:30 (three years ago) link

The second-to-last one it's hard to believe isn't actually somebody's album cover, I feel like the Fixx had a reunion this is the cover they'd pick

Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 31 August 2021 20:31 (three years ago) link

I don't know if it's all that faded really, seems pretty lively on Instagram

Didn't expect it to be particularly big, but it's a fair bit smaller than Asheville or Kamloops

lunch

cherry blossom, Thursday, 2 September 2021 06:05 (three years ago) link

Looks like it could be the back of a major city train station. Building on the right looks kind of Middle European. Ashtrays on tables are a bit of a rarity these days, maybe somewhere East European?

Zelda Zonk, Thursday, 2 September 2021 06:18 (three years ago) link

the chimneys though... factory in a city?

StanM, Thursday, 2 September 2021 12:31 (three years ago) link

are those chimneys though? thought it may be a tower of some sort behind, hard to judge the scale.

Blue sign seems to hint at LHD?!
