m76 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Can you guess the place? It's like geoguessr, but with my own pictures. Of course if you know the place it will be easy. If there is no correct guess I'll provide additional hints. Or you can cheat by using reverse image search, but what's the fun in that? I'm lucky enough to have had been to a few countries so I Have a lot of material for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality vs Adventure Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Looks from Spain by the statue uniform. That could be anywhere across Europe or the Americas south of USA. The sky indicates Europe. The street lights look French. Color of domes on cathedral would be more Eastern European. What's that yellow sign say?

Crazycrab Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) Well let’s see: The statue must be a WW1/2 memorial given the reef-motif at the base, as well as a space to place reefs during a memorial service... So it’s most likely in Europe. I'll discount the UK because I would probably recognize the Cathederal if it was. What I DO recognize is that sky, and that sure ain’t no warm Medetarianian sky! That is a cold and dismal North Sea one. Not to mention the two people we can see are pretty warped up so it’s not warm. So…... Western Mainland Europe, most likely North Sea Coastline. That's about all I can figure out. Edited September 11, 2020 by Crazycrab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m76 Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 Well, it's in the North, just not mainland, and not the North Sea. The sky might have been misleading because the photograph was taken at 4:30AM, hence the lack of tourists.

I'd look it up but I think it might give the location it away and don't wanna do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m76 Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) Well if you look up Alexender II, his wikipedia page mentions three countries he ruled in. It also explains the significance of 1863, and there is actually a photo of this statue there. Doing research is allowed.

m76 Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 I'm 99% certain that's the US, from the architecture most likely south-west, San Diego-ish. The tall building in the background stands out as it seems more east coast. That's all I can figure out by looking at the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m76 Posted September 14, 2020 Author Share Posted September 14, 2020 I just realized that's the image from the wikipedia page of the city. I thought we were using our own pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 It's not from Wikipedia, and I guarantee you 100% it's not San Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality vs Adventure Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 What does a half nude female warrior on a horse symbolize? Looks USA, but the only feminism in this racist, sexist, xenophobic country with a statue empowering a female must be Mary. So it is a catholic town. That makes me think southwest USA too.

I know it's not San Diego, I said I found the picture on wikipedia, I just didn't want to reveal the city so soon.
