Guess the City

Somewhere near a lake, I see two boats.

Somewhere in Alaska maybe.

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

or maybe just fog

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

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

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)

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

wait there's a pic 2?

got it

Great work, Ciderpress. I didn’t really wander far from picture 1. If for some reason it was going to carry on longer there are many street view pics with a massive cruise liner in the port.

good one!

bravo! how did you get to it?

i followed my previous train of thought of 'white plates in alaska -> might be BC plates -> alaska near BC' and then was lucky enough to drop the streetview guy right on the same block as pic #2 when i checked that town

props to the people who identified it as alaska though, i was looking in oregon before that

damn, all those posts on blue white yellow plates earlier and somehow missed that one

Britain, but which part?

is there a (maybe even non-horizontal) football pitch behind that building?

could be Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Lancashire, up to the Scottish Borders. Be tough to narrow down

Is it a city or is it a town?

haven't got a clue. There are a lot of very nice landscapes in Britain though. Well done. :)

yeah that could be anywhere north of derbyshire.

looks like some sort of abandoned facility behind there whatever it is, or else seasonal (fairgrounds?)

certainly has a football ground type vibe to it

yeah I've been looking for football pitches on the outskirts of the likes of Rochdale, Oldham, Buxton, Blackburn and Burnley but nothing as yet

I wonder if the wooden repairs to the (canteen?) mean that there was a fire there (somewhere before 2019 as that is the Google copyright date) & this window+roof are new but then the budget was gone? (Or that I just have an over-active imagination)

Not much to go on, other than it looks like the north of England. And even that doesn't seem certain, I mean it could be Ireland or Scotland.

Also looks very Welsh valleys

If it wasn't for the car parked the wrong way, it could even be Brittany!

yyy2

That's definitely Wales I reckon

... what is that green box/object ? A fancy garbage bin, so close to another one just outside the park?

I'm curious about that strange gate in the fence. Is that perhaps a gate to a dog run, designed to keep dogs from running out while the gate is open? I've never seen that design before. That might explain the small garbage bin on the fence (for dog waste) vs the larger bin outside.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kissing_gate

The name comes from the gate merely "kissing" (touching) the inside of the enclosure.

What nonsense. As I tell all my friends whenever we come across such a gate, it comes from the fact that you have to give the person in front a kiss before they allow you to pass through.

what kind of track is that? BMX would be partly dirt, right?

Not necessarily, see e.g. the last Olympics! I've been searching for (grim) pump track (wales).

oh right, pump track is a variety too - thx

thanks for the dn

lol

I feel like that fancy rectangular garbage thing (if it is one) is pretty distinctive maybe, no?

do the wind turbines mean "near a coast" ?

Not necessarily, they're all over the country here. Maybe the bin has some distinguishing features up close but it wouldn't look out of place to me anywhere in the UK.

okay, I hoped my questions would help but they don't :-)
