I'm talking lidos and swimming pools btw, not man made lakes or anything

it all depends on how short these ladies are.

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

Can't find the ladies but here's an aerial view of the water park. Tuzla, Bosnia

great find!
can't find the ladies on Google maps either but this is an alt view from above their location +/-

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 (three 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 (three 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
― tomorrow, Wednesday, 13 October 2021 13:46 (three years ago) link
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 (three 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 (three years ago) link
maybe it's a Decathlon stock photo?

Alright - how? It looks like that roof top isn't a parking spot anymore in the latest google aerial photo?

nice!

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.
― o. nate, Wednesday, 13 October 2021 16:28 (three years ago) link
Fantastic!

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 itโs got a logo of a major corporation (I forget what itโs is).

Good work on that one, wasn't sure if it would go off one pic!
― Sladoled Umbrella (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 13 October 2021 18:07 (three years ago) link
where did the original pic come from, not google maps then?
― StanM, Wednesday, 13 October 2021 19:05 (three years ago) link
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?

that GMC limits this to North America where gas is cheaper, I would think

I think the thing on the left is a viaduct.
