"Where am I?" Game

[Fussbudget]

I haven't looked yet and I'm not taking any credit for this if it turns out to be correct, but upon discussing what those weird flying things could be (military?) someone who will remain nameless has just said to me 'is that Thetford in Norfolk?'

[Fussbudget]

(The sign doesn't really look like it starts with a T though)

[San Bernardhinault]

To help Fuss out, just in case she's not being facetious, the "weird flying things" are the lights at the top of lamp-posts. The lampposts are saturated out against the white sky.

(unless there's something I'm missing in the picture)

[Fussbudget]

Oh good grief, so they are. I spent an age staring at them on my tiny phone screen trying to figure out what was going on. NEVER MIND

[ad hoc]

It's Bedford on the sign I would say

[ad hoc]

Wonder if it's Cardington where the airships are (hence the windsock)

[jdsx]

Good shout we're on the A600 going south from Bedford I think!

Is it Bedford A603? Which makes Sandy Airfield a possibility but can't see a match.

[jdsx]

Got to credit that one to ad hoc !

[Walt Flanagans Dog]

Damn, went looking on the A603 instead of the A600!

[Walt Flanagans Dog]

That could well be a speed camera then, as there is a camera warning sign up the road near the second view. It's maybe the light making it look not-yellow?

[jdsx]

I think it's too small to be a Gatso (speed camera). Just a normal traffic monitoring camera I think

[San Bernardhinault]

Oh, it could be. It looks much more yellow from the side and back.

And, as I'm about to go to bed and this seems difficult, here is the opposite view from the same location

The second pic looks quite German to me, but we know there's very little coverage in Germany. Maybe Austria? Hungary?

[Fussbudget]

The black-tipped white posts are Austrian I think, e.g.

[San Bernardhinault]

I see a lot of them in Austria Streetview, so that seems to be an OK assumption.

[S. aureus]

I was about to post the same thing. I'm not seeing much in the way of broken white lines on the side of the road, though (except at intersections).

[ursus arctos]

Is that a mannequin sitting under the small shelter, or is it just a StreetView distortion?

[S. aureus]

I think it's a mannequin. Not sure, though.

[San Bernardhinault]

I'm wondering if the plants on the left opposite the mannequin are vines. At the end of the rows you can sort of the wooden poles like you get on vineyards. That would probably put us in the east of the country.

[S. aureus]

Slovenia also has the black-tipped white posts.

[San Bernardhinault]

I've been poking around some Styrian stuff near Gamlitz but haven't found anything yet. Maybe in Burgenland?
