Guess the City

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

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

Great t-shirt game from the dad there

three

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 :(

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.

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.

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

I'm pretty sure that's a sculpture in the middle of the roundabout but I've had no luck searching

I've been to Tallinn 3 times for work and I felt like this looked almost too Soviet to be Estonian but I think I found it, and I think it's Narva.

very good!

found the first view too, it’s the local fortress, Hermann Castle

wow!

'twas a long walk along the river, but here's the second view

I had never heard of Narva before - I am not proud of this fact - but the Today Programme on Radio 4 had a feature from there this morning. IS that a weird coincidence or is Cherry Blossom making the news as well as the GTC thread?

Good work, Narva it is!

Pretty desolate looking place, aside from the main tourist attraction of the castle. And Russia on the other side of the river

Narva feels like a city for cars, but without many cars

I’ve been there and it’s pretty bleak.

Its majority Russian there, I believe? Does it feel distinct from rest of Estonia? I read that Daugavpils in Latvia is pretty integrated despite being majority Russian speaking, but not sure on Narva

Yeah, it’s almost entirely Russian-speaking, though signs, shop labelling, etc, legally have to be in Estonian. It feels very different culturally, architecturally and financially from Tallinn and Tartu.

Guess Tne City

I believe the parked car is a late-2000s Fiat Punto.

that polygonal horse & rider logo on the van looks distinctive.

haha, ledge, yes, but that is my contribution

Here you go...

Porto

incredible job

I literally was googling Porto earlier haha

Those sidewalks looked decisively Portuguese but not lime enough to be Lisbon

you don’t say!

xp

very impressive!

That went quicker than expected! Good work on the postal van, but how did you get from there to finding the correct spot so quickly?

Thanks guys! Never in a million years did I think I would get one of these. Once I had the right country, it didn't take too long to scoot through high-level, split-lane motorways looking for an adjacent roundabout - I started off with less-obvious cities first in fact.

How does it work? Do I get to do one now?

Good work!

How does it work? Do I get to do one now?

Yes! (I think it works that anyone can do one as long as there's not one already in play)

Cool! OK, guess the city!

buildings, foliage, road condition looks like eastern US or canada. dont see any SUVs/trucks though

#2 I know several people buried here (moving backward on the same road)

#3 Again, following the road backwards. That's all for today.

oh huh that first one really faked me out lol

you’re spoiling us !

can anyway make out what it says on that snack bar on the right in the first picture? is it PARK or (much more intriguingly) PANN- ?

It's definitely Sweden, I think... too prominent a "-vägen" is visible on that sign. Looks like it could be Eriksvägen but there is no roadway by that name that resembles this neighbourhood

I gotta get back to work so I'm just going to guess Landskrona and hope I'm right

I also thought Sweden but god knows where
