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?

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

bump for new pic plz

ledge, Friday, 6 January 2023 14:22 (one year ago) link

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

ledge, Friday, 6 January 2023 15:36 (one year ago) link

Aren't parts of Germany pretty flat?

Getting Germany vibes too

germany, czechia, poland, hungary

ciderpress, Saturday, 7 January 2023 00:23 (one year ago) link

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...

StanM, Saturday, 7 January 2023 00:27 (one year ago) link

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?

Zelda Zonk, Saturday, 7 January 2023 00:47 (one year ago) link

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

StanM, Saturday, 7 January 2023 13:59 (one year ago) link

can we get a street view

micah, Wednesday, 11 January 2023 04:48 (one year ago) link

That's certainly a very green city. What are those six white tower structures in the middle ?

my searches for 'radio telescope' didn't turn up anything appropriate

I googled German tram stop and it was very close, then Polish tram stop and they have this blue sign.

Nabozo, Saturday, 21 January 2023 16:08 (one year ago) link

I googled foetus in heart and it found the right picture but it's a stock illustration.

ledge, Saturday, 21 January 2023 16:42 (one year ago) link

probably just a matter of finding that "black with green stripe and station name" tram stop enclosure. ive checked a bunch of central/eastern europe cities but havent found it yet, theres too many with trams

ciderpress, Saturday, 21 January 2023 18:01 (one year ago) link

actually this looks more like a wider gauge "light rail" than a "tram"

ciderpress, Saturday, 21 January 2023 18:03 (one year ago) link

but maybe they're called the same thing in europe

ciderpress, Saturday, 21 January 2023 18:03 (one year ago) link

we’re in Poznań!

this is the second view:

the six white towers are part of a speedway stadium:

that would be the speedway stadium, I guess - the first one is an athletics/track & field place

oh whoops lol must have checked every other major polish city besides that one

here’s the third view with the tram stop:

oh wait i see what happened, those tram enclosures are new and only in 2021 footage i was looking at 2019 footage

ciderpress, Saturday, 21 January 2023 19:47 (one year ago) link

that pretty distinct looking white/mint green domed building in the second view is the Church of St. John Vianney:

nice one! I was still in Germany :-(

StanM, Saturday, 21 January 2023 21:18 (one year ago) link

Well done!

ledge, Saturday, 21 January 2023 21:24 (one year ago) link

Glad that ones gone, found it difficult to pick a suitable streetview

The Golecin stadium has some interesting architecture

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Sunday, 22 January 2023 12:56 (one year ago) link

oh and of course, Lets all do the Poznan, na na na na

Look, and then guess

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Thursday, 26 January 2023 05:03 (one year ago) link

Not much to go on! Romanesque architecture by the looks of it, possibly a castle, but could be just about anywhere in Western or Middle Europe

Zelda Zonk, Thursday, 26 January 2023 05:37 (one year ago) link

it's looking mildly shocked

StanM, Thursday, 26 January 2023 06:16 (one year ago) link

Looks pretty old and tall and like a thick defense structure that was maybe converted in a residence. Given the color of the stone, I'd guess Southern part of Europe.

Nabozo, Thursday, 26 January 2023 08:59 (one year ago) link

I would guess north italy

nxd, Thursday, 26 January 2023 14:11 (one year ago) link

round arches = old
thick walls = old
bricks not irregularly shaped rocks = not as old
+/- modern windows = still lived in?

StanM, Thursday, 26 January 2023 16:53 (one year ago) link

possible that the wall was built earlier, and the gun ports were installed later in life before a final conversion to windows

micah, Friday, 27 January 2023 03:34 (one year ago) link

assert (matttkkkk), Friday, 27 January 2023 06:49 (one year ago) link

with all the repairs, that wall could have been pirated in the past

Many people are saying the first view didn't have much to go on

Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Saturday, 28 January 2023 18:32 (one year ago) link

getting Eastern Europe vibes, but I don't know why exactly (could be the South of France just as easily)

StanM, Sunday, 29 January 2023 08:20 (one year ago) link

Great t-shirt game from the dad there

I guess the second pic may have had buildings that one could recognise if they already knew them but this is going back to "not a single thing to go on" territory I'm afraid :(

StanM, Monday, 20 February 2023 10:08 (one year ago) link

How common are 5/6-lamp light poles? Also, the bus shelter on the left has an ad for something featuring a man, and on the right there is some kind of sign, if those particular graphics ring any bells.

nickn, Monday, 20 February 2023 22:21 (one year ago) link

could the sign be a coat of arms? hard to be sure in this resolution.

btw, what do you mean by 5/6-lamp poles? am I missing something?

The "spider"-looking light left of center, one post but 5 or 6 arms with lights on it.

nickn, Monday, 20 February 2023 22:44 (one year ago) link

oh, you’re right - was focusing on the ones on either side of the picture. might be a lead.
