Where on Earth are you!? Show us the sights from your part of the world

Lately, I’ve been amused by this anglicized map of Germany.

[Chewy77]

Oh, too much @Boydesian, too much. This will keep me entertained for ages At a glance, I am loving Spandy next to Barlen and Bath-Bath

Stuttgart is “studyard”? That’s the etymological origin of my last name! So in some alternate linguistic dimension my analog is “Wilhelm Stuttgart”?

[Chewy77]

By the way, Hambury can be also Hamborough, Hambourg, Hamburgh and Hambry… and I may be missing something else…

More winter:

I’m pretty partial to Thatchthorp, NE of Minchin.

[whswhs]

A lot of those sound like they could be place names in the Shire, actually.

@Chewy77

This will keep me entertained for ages

And me. I’ve only seen the opposite here–what we call English for runaways–

Nethersex and Minchin. Can’t unhear those two.

A good-looking sky during my walk around a local reservoir yesterday:

Despite my prejudices against London, I have to admit that is pretty cool

Monday night, on the way to Gamer’s Night, lokked up and saw the Moon lined up with two planets. GoogleSky cheated and found out it was Venus and Jupiter (my initial guess due to how bright they were)

So Moon and Planets over Te Mata Peak it is.

I found another Anglicized map. And yes, according to this, I was born in Headstow, capital of Greatland. But most of my family now live in Kettleberry.

Wangland? WTF.

[Boydesian]

Wangland? That’s west of Winkleshire isn’t it?

[Chewy77]

I thought Russia translated as Redland, or Gingerheadland

[Boydesian]

These aren’t really faithful translations. A few might be, but most seem to be modified entirely for comedic effect. Or at least to make them more…oddly familiar to an English-speaker.

Went for a drive and a spot of lunch this afternoon. The perks of working from home.

A while back, I got a ping that something at work needed urgent fiddling-with. So I did. I then sent my boss this photo taken from where I was at the time.
