first instinct is New Zealand. maybe on an estuary? no time to search right now tho

pittosporums (i think) & a tī kōuka/cabbage tree would suggest so... getting a south island vibe. is corrugated iron roofing even a thing outside the south pacific?

So the road markings from the first picture are a clearway which is also a bike lane. Also applies to Australia.

an australian c2 line has evenly spaced breaks 3m on 3m off. at least in nsw. looks like nz.

I wasn't sure if it was Kandallah or Newlands looking across to East Harbour, so Wellington.
― Hello I'm shitty gatsworth (aldo), Thursday, 8 December 2022 00:11 (one year ago) link
Yeah I don't think it is Lyttelton/Banks Peninsula, it looks much too populated.

dunedin fits the geography, i couldn't find the castle though

good work, was tough to find good views for that one, especially near the castle house itself

what ARE we looking at here - artificial snow ski slope kind of thing?
― StanM, Friday, 23 December 2022 13:16 (one year ago) link
more like the stands of a stadium, no?
― the shaker intro bit the shaker outro in the tail, hard (breastcrawl), Friday, 23 December 2022 13:28 (one year ago) link
I think the top of a ski slope looks right - the left hand side as we look at it has nothing behind it and the right hand side drops away
― Hello I'm shitty gatsworth (aldo), Friday, 23 December 2022 16:24 (one year ago) link
Looks like a solar farm?
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Friday, 23 December 2022 16:26 (one year ago) link
To me it’s a river above the seating of a sports ground, with a railway line between. Looks like Europe maybe?
― assert (matttkkkk), Friday, 23 December 2022 16:46 (one year ago) link
Solar farm is a good call
― Hello I'm shitty gatsworth (aldo), Saturday, 24 December 2022 14:09 (one year ago) link
Yeah I don't think it can be a stadium, the shape is irregular and it's in a steep slopeThe rest of the terrain is pretty flat if you look at the horizon but that "railway" (that I took to be road at first) looks like a funicular ?
― Nabozo, Saturday, 24 December 2022 14:29 (one year ago) link
Only viewing on my phone and not able to have a better look but from memory the big cemetery in Stuttgart is on a hill and has a funicular running behind it.
― Hello I'm shitty gatsworth (aldo), Saturday, 24 December 2022 16:14 (one year ago) link
Not sure it's got any water that close to it though.
― Hello I'm shitty gatsworth (aldo), Saturday, 24 December 2022 16:15 (one year ago) link
i think most of the appearance of a slope and the funny shape of the stadium seating towards the lower right is due to lens distortion. look at the the funny shapes of the trees over there and the blurriness. its possible the image has been cropped toward the right side of the frame which can introduce an apparent tilt.
it also looks like a standard railway, regular sleepers etc and catenary type that is common in germany and france at least. there are no signs of it being a funicular and i wouldn't expect to see a river or lake at the top of a hill.
the biggest clue might be the colour of the stadium seats but idk. could also be an odd or horseshoe shaped stadium which might indicate a particular sport?
― micah, Saturday, 31 December 2022 10:34 (one year ago) link
i'm voting for stadium - curiously the colour pattern isn't completely random, each block has the same pattern.

it's very flat. looks like a suspension bridge in the middle but the towers are very close together.

the stadium chairs in the first pic do have the colours of the German flag, if that is something we should use as a clue...
