The bins were what made me stick with Liverpool, and then vibes, there were too many streets which were really similar but not quite. With the second photo, I was on Fenton Grove yesterday but not Fenton Close. Yes it sort of could be anywhere but it was like a twin

Wasn't planning to do another one, but just came across this and thought it would be interesting.

Quite a mix of people. There's a woman there with a backpack, tracksuit bottoms and bare shoulders, and another wearing tights and short shorts - so I'm thinking we're not in a muslim country.

Picking through piles of rubbish makes one think of Mumbai or something, but somehow the people don't give me an Indian vibe. Apart from the guy in the forefront, all the men seem to be wearing jeans...

Going by triangular flags, climate and trash. But I canβt find it in streetview so maybe not. feels Himalayan though.

I was getting more of a feel of South America. The bricks above the blue yellow building above left, and occasional fragments of words

The green/white street sign is pretty distinctive!

Bogota has street signs that are on two lines like that

very rough guess but there seems to be a sign in Kurdish ("Mezhe").

I thought I had it in the Maria Paz district, but second guessing now. The lighting is darker in the image
― Tow Law City (cherry blossom), Wednesday, 5 June 2024 05:51 (four months ago) link
Its definitely Spanish speaking with the street name being Calle Csomething, and signs in that style appear to be common across Colombia though I noticed them more in Bogota. And the buildings on the left and words match
But on the other hand, there aren't many streets with trash like that or with that many people. Bogota's streetview surprisingly sparsely peopled. Maria Paz had people and trash. The building on the right is a problem. And the lighting isn't right, though I noticed the imagery is copyright 2019 and Bogota's coverage is more recent than that
I did wonder about Buenaventura on the coast, that seems to have trash and maybe port cities are a better bet

I've just realised that this is not the most recently available street view, which is not really fair as the current view is very different

OK, that's pretty dramatically different! I'm struck by the cars, which look like they're from the 1990s or something

Ok not Himalayan. Agree with South America or maybe Haiti?

Cali, Colombia? The painting of the green jeep is labeled "El Caleno."

Or wait, maybe it is Bogota. The building in the first photo looks like La Casa de Pique in the Bronx slum, which was demolished a few years ago: https://www.colombia.com/actualidad/nacionales/sdi/141328/inicio-la-demolicion-del-bronx

Ah good! I was at the wrong end of town, about 7 miles further west, though would never have found it even if landed on same street though with the changes. Was going to look for churches this afternoon
Weird area, I did kept second guessing if it was Bogota or not, but the street sign design was too big a factor to look elsewhere

well done jaymc, and cherry blossom who did say Bogota last night too. If you turn the camera around 180 degrees, are those homeless people sleeping? I really hope so, because this is what I read about the Bronx:

This is me. It's October 1973 and I'm seven years old. My mom and I went on a several month long trip around Europe and somewhere on the road she took this picture. My gut feeling is that it's Trieste, Italy or perhaps Pula, Croatia. I have no idea, but I'll bet that wall is still there.

that makes total sense - we did eventually get to Greece (I had my 8th birthday in Athens)

and bingo! thanks for spotting that - I found the spot at 4:28 into this video. There's more trees now and it looks like the walls of Palamidi Fortress have been given a good cleaning.
― Elvis Telecom, Thursday, 6 June 2024 04:17 (four months ago) link
I broke into that fortress once! Interrailing round Europe with friends in 1993 we were staying in Nafplio, after visiting the town we planned to visit the fortress on the way back to our hostel, which was on the other side, but after climbing all the way up the hill we found the fortress was closed. So we climbed up a 12ft wall, walked through it and out the other side.
