"Where am I?" Game

Oh it is Seattle. It is going to be the troll under the bridge over by Magnolia.

I hadn't been paying much attention, clearly. I was there last year (106 degrees baby!) and have friends and relatives who live right around there.

[caja-dglh]

Someone else will need to go - Fussbudget for giving me the answer - because the next few days are not good in the world of dglh.

[Fussbudget]

Wow, bullseye! My guess was very much of the "monkeys with typewriters" variety but I'll put something up shortly

[Fussbudget]

Here we go. Magnifiers at the ready:

Yes. Rotate this view to find Google protecting the troll's privacy.

Here we go. Magnifiers at the ready:

At first perusal it looks like a French world war memorial site to me. Thinking somewhere like hill 60.

Mongolia flag, potentially?

[S. aureus]

Yes, Genghis Khan Statue outside Ulaanbaatar.

Here's the great Khan himself:



I like that there are actual horsemen roaming around the site.

Someone else want a go?

[Fussbudget]

That's the baby, well done.

[Balderdasha]

Ah yes, the white things are yurts not graves.

[S. aureus]

OK, here's something a bit more urban for you.

[ad hoc]

If that red sign says Lody (as I think it does), that would I think put us in Poland, where (I believe) Lody is ice cream

[ursus arctos]

Very much so

[S. aureus]

You have the correct country.
Moving forwards and looking back towards the original spot

[ursus arctos]

This would have been a lot easier 40 years ago, when only a few city centres had been the subject of major reconstruction and then pedestrianisation efforts.

[S. aureus]

Sadly this location does not have street view from 40 years ago.
Rather bizarrely the original spot also has a more recent streetview, but that more recent one only connects to the inside of the shop on the left (by this time a different shop) and one more step into the street. However it might have made my life a bit easier as some of the more easily google-able stores around there had turned into generic ones that are found everywhere. The ice cream place is still there, though.

[ursus arctos]

I am afraid that we need another photo

[caja-dglh]

I had a wander around Poznan. It did not seem to be Poznan. The lack of streetcars so far is really keeping it open.

[S. aureus]

This is probably helpful, looking to the left of view 2 (roughly).
