    And just around the corner from picture 2.

    Comment


      I was just about to say this looked like Tunisia but then I turned to the next page and the final picture doesn't really.

      The cropping on that shop front is canny because it looks like Roman script but could easily be Cyrillic or Greek

        I thought I recognised that Cruzcampo logo! We're in Tarifa. Can't find the right angle just yet....

          Here's the last one:

            Can't find the others just now! And I'm about to go out so someone else should have a go!

              Blimey, well done jdsx

              And there was I thinking I’d cropped the logo sufficiently.

                Cor. He's a bit bloody good, ain't he.

                It legitimately took me longer to select the views and assemble the screenshots than my first pic was 'live' for before you solved it!

                  Just remembered why Liebig rings a bell, they're still a big name in France in the world of soup. Their factory is just outside Avignon. I'd never made the link to the Fray Bentos lot but they appear to have been a branch of the same company



                  Turns out Liebig also invented Viandox (the French version of Bovril) and Oxo cubes! Clearly second to none in the world of pioneering meat-based innovation

                    I read that as "graines de courage" and was thinking that they were responsible for yet another nutritional breakthrough.

                    Herrn Doktor Liebig was a very interesting guy, his meat-based work was only a fraction of his oeuvre.

                      Oh, he's the same Liebig who has an organic chemistry journal named after him (well, he named it after himself).

                          This image comes from standard Street View. I have two more from this spot but at different angles. A fourth is from a nearby photosphere, and I expect that one to definitely give the game away. But let's first see how far we get from the first picture only.

                            Wait, am I jumping the gun here and are we still looking for Sits' other two shots? Sorry if I'm muddying the waters here.

                              No, you're not jumping the gun. Don't have much else to say right now, those are quite the mountains behind.

                                    Nice socks. I wonder if we're outside a Frank Lloyd Wright building given the other thread (maybe even in Racine, WI)

                                      It could be Racine, but I don't think it is.

                                      It does look very USian, and the unusual number of adults walking (and the pavements/sidewalks) make me think we are outside of a church/school/museum or some other kind of cultural institution.

                                      The doorway looks a lot like the rear entrance/exit to an auditorium or theatre.

                                        I like that 4 people is an "unusual number of adults"!

                                        If you go forwards (by crow) from the first view until you hit the next street, then turn left for half a block or so:

                                          Another nearby view. From view 2, turn around and go 2 blocks:

                                            For a brief second that view made me think you were yards from my house.

                                              Not too close to your house, unless you've moved very recently and I'm unaware of it.
                                              One more, the street that lies between views 1 and 2. Possibly not too helpful.
                                              I'll just add that I'm sure that ursus, at least, has been inside one (probably two) of the buildings shown so far. As has AdeC (definitely 2). And they're not close to NYC or BC.

                                                For sure S. aureus - that passage to the campus really looked familiar. None of the other pics raised any of that so I was really quite sharply surprised for a moment.

                                                    I need to sleep before I can pin it down. It was the insignia that got me it
