The monorail looks way cool and has its own unusual detail in wikipedia article:
The Wuppertal Suspension Railway, a suspended monorail, serves the city and its surroundings. It has operated since 1901, with new cars added beginning in December 2016. In 1950, a young elephant named Tuffi was put aboard the Wuppertal Schwebebahn (monorail), as a promotion for the Althoff Circus. The swinging tram upset the elephant, and she trumpeted, charged, and plummeted 12 m (40 ft) into the river below. Tuffi suffered minor injuries; she lived until 1989. In 1999, the Schwebebahn had its thus far only fatal accident.

the glass was a station but the elevator didn't go to it, so we were both right and astray

I got it from the 'lyp cr' tag

i searched for '"lyp" "cr" graffiti', second result says "I don't know anything about LYP Crew except they are from NRW, probably from the area Wuppertal" without even clicking through. pretty lucky, i doubt that would happen for most other tags.

oh and it was a sideways german flag!

we should've spotted that the black strip on the left was actually the side of the recessed window.
― the man with the chili in his eyes (ledge), Thursday, 25 August 2022 15:56 (two years ago) link
why I'll be... I was 100% sure on it being the Belgian flag but did not spot that the black wasn't part of the flag :(
― StanM, Thursday, 25 August 2022 17:43 (two years ago) link
Good work! The flag was a bit of an optical illusion eh

Looks like Southern California, which the Lakers shorts on the cyclist support. Maybe somewhere near Carpinteria, or Oxnard?

Looks like one of the bridges over the Santa Clara River in Santa Clarita, CA but can't quite find the exact one.

credit to your guess though, i only did the easy work of checking a bunch of bridges in the region

just cropped and yandexed the tower, which eventually brought up this pic https://www.flickr.com/photos/james_mann/15655889666/

ok, so it says "dajemo" on the banner in the back, which Google translate tells me is Croatian (and in Latin script, so not Serbian etc.) but the shirt says "FK Something" and Croatian teams are NK not FK. Hm.
― link.exposing.politically (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 12 September 2022 13:43 (two years ago) link
I think it's Bosnia (BH Telecom on that banner if I'm not mistaken), and FK does seem to be their version of FC

Nice work - I was busy looking at Karlovac in Croatia because the coat of arms on the logo we can see front and centre looks like it might be this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karlovačko, but it's an international brand by the looks.

Glad someone got that, I'd forgotten where it was, looks to be correct though!

I had the image saved from some time previously, and must have rejected it for the one of the two women at the water park instead

taking a hard line on local rivals Nancy there, a piece of graffito which immediately made me assume it was an Anglophone country

it took me 2mn once i saw the tag, cos of fcsm which is french football club fc sochaux montbéliard, the nancy being fucked is fc nancy, so i started looking for football pitches in sochaux

sorry the other club is as nancy lorraine, not fc nancy

damnit i googled 'ecsm' and found another french club, Entente Chateauneuf Saint Marcel. well done!
― ledge, Wednesday, 14 September 2022 12:53 (two years ago) link
I thought about cropping it so it just had 'Fuck Nancy' and no fcsm but then it was too constrained an image
― Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 14 September 2022 12:57 (two years ago) link
there I was thinking it said “Fuck NanoX”, which would surely also have made sense to someone

cherry blossom, hearing that you thought about cropping out half that tag makes me really curious about how you select the images you post. also thanks for keeping this thread alive, i really enjoy it even though i don't often get the chance to guess.

Purely on a whim.
In this particular case I was on a run this morning and it suddenly hit me that I had no idea where in France Sochaux actually is, or even if that was the name of a city or part of a city
I had a look on streetview when I got in and landed on the graffiti and immediately thought of this thread
