(International) Guess the Location (see rules post 1)

Red Kev

Kirkwall, Orkneys, Scotland

Plenty of clues... LHD, very Scottish type building on the right, and a ferry leaving to the north.

Going to bed so someone can have my go.

BTW, like Mike I've been to Irkusk, but also in winter, early 1997 in fact.

Slydice

It sure is.

You're up!

Tokyo

A UK island, based on the direction of traffic, and license plates?

edit: too late

Novi Sad

Looks like a Hungarian taxi with the yellow plate, and google di most of Hungary in Autumn/Winter so that fits. Looks like south or east Hungary with the square church towers.

Szeged ?

Can I invoke a 24 hour rule?

This is a photo of my own - maybe a bit easy, but sure let's see how it turns out.

Toobig-by-the-sea?

Keedowah

Wellington, New Zealand?

Swiper the fox

That is wrong on so many levels:eek:

No 24 hour rules I'd say:)

^^ It's the funicular up to the botanical gardens.

Keedowah

No 24 hour rules? So where do we stand now?

cdeb

Wellington is spot on.

And game back on!

(24-hour rule was invoked earlier in the thread I think; if we want to go back to bijapos' turn, fire ahead. But a 24-hour rule makes sense, unless someone wants to PM people after a length of time without a post?)

Tokyo

Back to Fred's pic, I'd imagine:

We got an answer to this didn't we?

That Hungarian town?

Edit - wait - Szeged was a very good guess, but wrong? Oops!

Well, at least mine was an easy interlude.

Swiper the fox

Fred's one wasn't got yet unless his comment "very good guess" meant it was a VERY good guess. The 24 hour rule is surely for people to post if nobody has done so after a correct guess

M.T. Cranium

I found the spot in Wellington while that was going down. Thought it had to be souithern hemisphere and prosperous, hilly, big square playing field, took about a minute to spot it. Didn't know they had the funicular thing going on there.

So the other one is still alive then?

Keedowah

Here you go:

That's exactly what I figured alright!

At least the thread is active again!

So - Hungary I presume going on previous posts?

Gyor?

Edit - oops; what I have I started now?!

Swiper the fox

Can't stop people guessing on this new one but we really don't need two on the go.
Fred Swanson's one (likely Hungary but Fred can be cryptic when he says good guess;)) still hasn't been got.

Keedowah

Can we delete my post?

Is it the town with about thirty letters in the name and seven of them have umlauts?

Betcha that place has a local nickname.

Oh that's funny, I didn't actually find the place, just noticed one church there that looked a bit similar. Have been looking at other towns since I posted that. Must go back and actually find the location now as I feel like that guy who fainted ten yards from the finish line in the marathon.

M.T. Cranium

So I found it now, it's the Hungarian Reformed Church on the left and apparently City Hall on the right? Anyone who wants to see it, go to Kossuth Ter which is quite a short street and then look south. Anyway, we have another picture posted in post 686 so let's go with that and I have no clue where it is (Muddy River?)

cdeb

Looks South East Asian to me - greenery and clouds and mud.

Fairly vague I know, but there you go!

Is it Sai Gon?

Is the bridge in the distance a train bridge?

Tokyo

The truss bridge brings to mind a former British Colony - India perhaps, or Australia?

Or the River Kwai?

enda1

Brazil?

Keedowah

It is not Sai Gon
It is not a railway bridge
It is not in Brazil, India, Australia
It is not on the River Kwai

It is in South East Asia though

Tokyo

Is it on the Mekong?

Keedowah

It is not.

Kat1170

Mandalay ???

Red Kev

Is it in Thailand ?

Is it near a river mouth, as in max. 10km from it

Keedowah

Not Mandalay

Not Thailand

Afraid that it is more than 10km from a rivers mouth.

It is closer to Thailand than Mandalay.

Red Kev

Malaysia ? or Cambodia ?

Keedowah

No, No.

Actually, looking at the map I might be wrong there.... it is probably a little bit closer to Mayanmar - oops - sorry!

M.T. Cranium

Any chance it is Hanoi (Long Bien bridge?) _ not sure because I can't find any street views there. Looks similar though.

Thats it - you are up!
