(International) Guess the Location 2 a.k.a. Part Deux (see rules post 1)

KevRossi

Is that a Union Jack* on a flagpole in the background?

If so, Gibraltar or Cyprus?


*Or a butchers apron, depending on your persuasion.

One of the twelve (out of fourteen) British Overseas Territories where one drives on the left?

Edit: Kev, Gibraltar (and one other (non-military) BOT as far as I can remember) is RHD. Mind you, dogs, trees, barking and all that

Not a Union Jack, but it is part of an art installation, and as such a very important part of the image.

Not a BOT either

Another view...

Somewhere in Pretoria maybe? That’s just loosely based on those signs and dates, couldn’t get anywhere going down the architectural route.

Getting there, not Pretoria, but correct country.

Finally got there, never would have without that second picture.



It’s the Cathedral Church of St. Mary the Virgin in Port Elizabeth. I spent way too long on that one!

The arty-type stuff is part of Route 67, which represents Mandela's 67 years of work dedicated to the freedom of South Africa. https://www.nmbt.co.za/listing/route_67.html

Aah, high five, Marty, outstanding work altogether

I’ll have one up shortly, don’t think it can live up to the challenge of that last one though.

I can post another angle if this proves difficult, but I think there’s enough to work with here:

Reminds me of Pripyat.

KevRossi

Hmmm... same type of Ferris Wheel baskets as Pripyat, but they are yellow.

Either Russia or a former USSR state?

KevRossi

Or else it's the one in Pyongyang at the Ole Kaeson Park.

Its quite annoying, I've found the ferris wheel on shutterstock but there is no caption so I've no idea where it was taken

I'm going to say St Petersburg

Likewise, Huge.

I found a very similar looking ferris wheel somewhere or other which I eventually tracked down to Prydniprovsʹkyy Park in Kremenchuk, Ukraine... but it looks - at least according to Google Maps - that it's since been torn down.

'Tis a tricky one alright.

Ukraine is the closest guess so far. Correct country not guessed.

Tiraspol, Moldova (Transnistria)

Crap. I hate it when it's my go Maybe I'll choose from my extensive knowledge of former Soviet-bloc ferris wheels... standby.

I'm watching Brosnan and Hamilton in Dante's Peak on the Netflix yoke atm, but I couldn't find a decent shot of Mount St. Helens that wasn't blindingly obvious. But that's neither here nor there...

Going purely based on your (possible) clue here, Hammerfest?
