I think it's safe to say we haven't got a clue? :-)

Help? :(

Another clue please cherry blossom!

Pembroke?

Here's a game for all you OSINT fans, in the photo below is a location you have to find I'll give you a hint it's in donbass and you have to come back with the exact location in the replies. This is a test to show how OSINT Geolocation works for people who might not understand. pic.twitter.com/urjIDlmUMT

Aiden Aslin has posted one here as well if anyone wants a go at that too

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?

driving on the left side of the road

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

As shown here:

http://www.drivingtests.co.nz/roadcode-questions/car/parking/a-broken-yellow-line-painted-close-to-th/

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

The vehicle registration ticket in the bottom corner of the windscreen looks like New Zealand

Dunedin?

Could be Lyttelton

So, Christchurch.

I wasn't sure if it was Kandallah or Newlands looking across to East Harbour, so Wellington.

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

Also the neighbourhood watch signs on the pole look very New Zealand

phew. well done!

great stuff. but where is the castle?

lymington castle:

built single-handedly over a 15 year period in the 50s and 60s!

well done, I gave up on the castle

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

Christmas View

what ARE we looking at here - artificial snow ski slope kind of thing?

more like the stands of a stadium, no?

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

Looks like a solar farm?

To me it’s a river above the seating of a sports ground, with a railway line between. Looks like Europe maybe?

Solar farm is a good call

Yeah I don't think it can be a stadium, the shape is irregular and it's in a steep slope
The 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 ?

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.

Not sure it's got any water that close to it though.

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?

i'm voting for stadium - curiously the colour pattern isn't completely random, each block has the same pattern.

bump for new pic plz

two

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

Aren't parts of Germany pretty flat?

Getting Germany vibes too

germany, czechia, poland, hungary

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...

There are an awful lot of green domed buildings in Germany - but I can't find this one.

Could this possibly be one of the lakes near Berlin?

could be anywhere in Eastern Europe - even parts of Scandinavia maybe. Still no real ideas here :(

can we get a street view
