Bit too obvious a landmark that one eh? I was going to do it pointing in the opposite direction originally

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Thursday, 21 July 2022 18:17 (two years ago) link

I only found it via that google search, wasn't familiar with it

StanM, Thursday, 21 July 2022 18:33 (two years ago) link

I told you: I googled "power station "7 towers" " and the first result looked VERY suspiciously correct + the hills in the distance did too

Oops, just skimmed your answer.

nickn, Thursday, 21 July 2022 20:33 (two years ago) link

oh no, the next one is going to be very hard now, isn't it?

StanM, Friday, 22 July 2022 05:29 (two years ago) link

yeah thanks for nothing stan!

Why not set one yourself?

dear confusion the catastrophe waitress (ledge), Friday, 22 July 2022 08:14 (two years ago) link

i'm not that talented imho

StanM, Friday, 22 July 2022 08:29 (two years ago) link

Ok. Newb attempt. Possibly ridiculously easy or difficult.

My wild guess would be Oregon or somewhere northwest. There's a tree on the right that has red flowers, which might be a clue if identified

Zelda Zonk, Wednesday, 27 July 2022 03:42 (two years ago) link

Thanks for fixing my newb flaws, Micah.

NW seems a good initial candidate. It looks to be at the base of a hill...or part way down one

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 27 July 2022 04:55 (two years ago) link

Pennsylvania plate?

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 27 July 2022 05:00 (two years ago) link

The license plate on the truck might be Utah, which probably means they just moved from Utah, and this is a completely useless clue.

Hideous Lump, Wednesday, 27 July 2022 05:03 (two years ago) link

Yeah, the plate itself doesn't really matter (its not PA anyway, top and bottom band take up too much space)

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 27 July 2022 05:16 (two years ago) link

It looks pretty steep, from the trees and need for such a wooden structure to access the house, but you can't see much in the distance. Some humid northern climate.

Nabozo, Wednesday, 27 July 2022 05:35 (two years ago) link

That truck looks like a work truck (tool boxes, spray cans) rather than a moving truck.

The cars seems a bit older than I would expect in a middle class city area, so maybe outside a city in a rural area. Also, the houses are pretty modest for a "view" area.

Could be the hilly south too (Appalachia).

nickn, Wednesday, 27 July 2022 06:39 (two years ago) link

looks like the "back" of those houses--wonder what they are all facing? does look like a steep drop off

a (waterface), Wednesday, 27 July 2022 12:10 (two years ago) link

Pittsburgh somewhere??? That looks like a Penna plate

a (waterface), Wednesday, 27 July 2022 12:11 (two years ago) link

Definitely looks like a steep drop, hillside of some sort

That looks like a Penna plate

Aren't the bands wrong though? The blue and yellow look too thick, take up too much space

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 27 July 2022 12:38 (two years ago) link

yeah you're right--those are also white letters which at a quick glance it looks like PA has blue letters

a (waterface), Wednesday, 27 July 2022 13:11 (two years ago) link

but it looks like maybe no states have white letters?

a (waterface), Wednesday, 27 July 2022 13:12 (two years ago) link

poking around Mt Washington areas of Pittsburgh and I feel like I'm close

a (waterface), Wednesday, 27 July 2022 14:47 (two years ago) link

Those houses don't look emotional enough to be Pittsburgh houses

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 27 July 2022 15:00 (two years ago) link

trees and smoky air look wast coast to me?

I have more helpful pictures when you are ready. It seems google did the neighborhood on very different days.

horizontal, Wednesday, 27 July 2022 21:23 (two years ago) link

AFAIK, Pennsylvania is the only state to use that color scheme in its license plates.

immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 27 July 2022 21:32 (two years ago) link

Those roofs are weird looking.

Look closely, that is all. (doo dah), Thursday, 28 July 2022 01:28 (two years ago) link

Agree that the houses/cars look a bit basic and give the impression it's not a particularly well off area.

Zelda Zonk, Thursday, 28 July 2022 02:20 (two years ago) link

I'm not convinced it's even in the US.

Hideous Lump, Thursday, 28 July 2022 04:17 (two years ago) link

I thought the trees might help but if you're high up a mountain that could be harder again. The not-too-modern feel of it all is making me think Costa Rica maybe? no idea though

StanM, Thursday, 28 July 2022 06:18 (two years ago) link

Puerto, not Costa

StanM, Thursday, 28 July 2022 06:19 (two years ago) link

Never been to Puerto Rico but not really getting a Caribbean island vibe from that pic. Still thinking it's somewhere a bit cold and damp in mainland USA

Zelda Zonk, Thursday, 28 July 2022 12:12 (two years ago) link

I can see clearly now the rain is gone,
I can see all the obstacles in my way,
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind…

404 error. LOL. This is the quality I bring people. Try again.

https://i.ibb.co/2sbDVkQ/bleep2.png

horizontal, Thursday, 28 July 2022 14:47 (two years ago) link

yeah, no longer thinking Puerto Rico now. Canada/North America yes

StanM, Thursday, 28 July 2022 15:43 (two years ago) link

Somewhere near a lake, I see two boats.

nickn, Thursday, 28 July 2022 16:01 (two years ago) link

Somewhere in Alaska maybe.

Look closely, that is all. (doo dah), Thursday, 28 July 2022 16:08 (two years ago) link

looks like a lake or river in the distance in shot 2?

ciderpress, Thursday, 28 July 2022 17:27 (two years ago) link

or maybe just fog

ciderpress, Thursday, 28 July 2022 17:27 (two years ago) link

I poked around Juneau for a bit the other day, it did look right for a few reasons but I couldn't find the spot

rob, Thursday, 28 July 2022 17:30 (two years ago) link

The bumpy little hills on the other side of the bay/sound are pretty distinctive

Christmas in Davenport (cherry blossom), Thursday, 28 July 2022 17:52 (two years ago) link

alaska has yellow license plates which we see in pic 2 but not on the sedan or the truck in pic 1, what are the chances. seems like the least likely state to have 2 out of state vehicles in one place (from 2 different states)

ciderpress, Thursday, 28 July 2022 18:02 (two years ago) link

i guess if the sedan is a BC plate then that improves the odds a little

ciderpress, Thursday, 28 July 2022 18:04 (two years ago) link

wait there's a pic 2?
