hats off to you - I had completely misguessed how big the city should be

StanM, Wednesday, 30 March 2022 11:44 (two years ago) link

oh yeah so did I initially. I certainly checked Bucureşti before Iaşi

ignore the blue line (or something), Wednesday, 30 March 2022 13:06 (two years ago) link

well i guess i was sort of close!

Somewhere pretty well off in the south of England, would be my guess.

Identifying those hills is key I think. Bit of a Welsh Borders feel, Shropshire maybe?

I wondered about the north downs. Potentially Guildford or Dorking?

Looks like there's a large stadium just left of centre in the distance at the edge of the town/city. Any help to ilx's city guessing avid sports fans?

Nice one!

Ooh, well done

Bravo.

Tiny bit disappointed that this wasn't a part of Shrewsbury called Bingo but still, well found

Was just going to get a second pic, didn't realize it had been guessed so quickly. Good work, I thought that one might go on feel

I think it feels mediterranean, maybe? Fortifications, marina, bridge that needs to go up, don't know if those are arabian-inspired arches on the building in the distance (behind the runner)?

StanM, Monday, 18 April 2022 11:35 (two years ago) link

... can't seem to find it around the mediterranean unless I've missed it

seriously Stan, you checked *all of the* Mediterranean region for cities/towns with what… white bridges? I did a random Google search to that effect, to no avail obviously

middot • is • my • middle • name (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 19 April 2022 16:24 (two years ago) link

I’m mostly curious about that dark brown structure on the right, which looks like it might be some kind of fortress/ fortification, or maybe it’s just a residential area with brown houses/buildings - can’t really tell, the resolution is quite low

middot • is • my • middle • name (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 19 April 2022 16:27 (two years ago) link

on the right? on the left I mean

middot • is • my • middle • name (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 19 April 2022 16:28 (two years ago) link

cities near the sea with marinas yes? ok maybe not all of them then

StanM, Tuesday, 19 April 2022 17:59 (two years ago) link

still quite impressive!

middot • is • my • middle • name (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 19 April 2022 18:10 (two years ago) link

I'm well aware that I could be very wrong though :)

StanM, Tuesday, 19 April 2022 19:16 (two years ago) link

could we get a second hint please :(

StanM, Sunday, 24 April 2022 15:00 (two years ago) link

yeah, that would be nice

It’s definitely not any of the bridges up to An…

only 4204 to go on that list, come on, you can do it :-)

by jeezums! I had given up - how did you find it?

StanM, Saturday, 30 April 2022 07:10 (two years ago) link

am I glad it's not on the Mediterranean, phew :-)

StanM, Saturday, 30 April 2022 07:11 (two years ago) link

Just lazily dotting about cities on the Med and in western Europe with estuaries, turned up eventually

ignore the blue line (or something), Saturday, 30 April 2022 07:33 (two years ago) link

Estuaries and harbours anyway

ignore the blue line (or something), Saturday, 30 April 2022 07:34 (two years ago) link

well done!

StanM, Saturday, 30 April 2022 08:07 (two years ago) link

stellar work, or something!

if only this landmark would have been visible:

bridge is kinda whack - the whole thing, tram wires and all, rises up to let boats through. odd little jigsaw piece tag on the opposite side.

koogs, Saturday, 30 April 2022 10:38 (two years ago) link

I'm guessing it's linked to that Comics Crepes shop on the corner, since there's a comic image on it

StanM, Saturday, 30 April 2022 10:42 (two years ago) link

thought i might post one, been a while and found a google map image i liked. another bridge (hope this works)

nope. what's that image hosting site we use? i forget

ignore the blue line (or something), Saturday, 30 April 2022 12:28 (two years ago) link

i could've cropped it but that works

ignore the blue line (or something), Saturday, 30 April 2022 12:29 (two years ago) link

this might be really easy i don't know just wanted to use the image

ignore the blue line (or something), Saturday, 30 April 2022 12:30 (two years ago) link

I don't know where to start looking so to me it's not easy :-)
