Can You Tell Where It Is Yet?

I have tried.  "Recycled, artwork, outdoors, bottles, car exhausts, street lamps, streetview".  

Nothing.

Maybe it is Berlin or Philadelphia but I have never seen it.

I have puzzles on page 34 and 35 that have not been solved.  Still trying to solve the Q8 puzzle on page 35.

Looks like kilts in the background, a Scotland away game.

This suggests that you have already solved this but I cannot find the post where you solved it.

I didn't post the answer because I cheated. Gave you a good clue above though.

Very good, how did you manage in the end?

Came to the conclusion it must be Edinburgh.

Googled "Pavement Marker Edinburgh" and looked at the Images Tab.  Saw an appropriate image on the first page.

Would never have found it any other way. 😗

Still no idea where this is.  I have googled plastic bottles, plastic waste, car exhausts, sculptures, statues, art exhibit, art display, art galleries, museums and nothing comes up that looks like any of this.  An artist in Chicago did some artwork with waste material but I don't think this is Chicago.

I spot the kilts and maybe someone with bagpipes.  possibly somebody wearing a yellow top.  This suggests a city where the Scottish national team have played (Football or Rugby).

Probably in Europe, maybe Berlin, Warsaw or Moscow but if there is another clue in the picture - I can't see it.

It's Mother Theresa Square in Tirana from November 2018. The sculptures were probably temporary.

Oh but of course.  I should have persevered!

I can see Scotland fans and there is a stadium nearby but I thought the games against Albania were played in Shkoder and not Tirana.

You should have included a pillbox or a statue of Enver Hoxha.  That would have helped.

Incidentally the autobiography of Enver Hoxha (called "The Artful Albanian") was the most boring book I ever bothered to finish.
He despised Kim Il Sung as some sort of demi-god and hero to the nation and failed to acknowledge that he was doing the same thing in Albania.

The one amusing anecdote from the book (to save you having to read it) was an encounter between the Albanian Foreign Minister and the Russian Foreign Minister Kosygin.
The Albanian minister has been involved in a serious accident and ended up in hospital with all his limbs in casts with weights to hold them up.
Kosygin went to see him and got straight to the point - "What are we going to do about Tito?"
The Albanian minister discussed the matter but at the end just when Kosygin was about to leave he said "Where are my manners?  How's your health?"
Kosygin replied "I'm doing fine.  How about you?"
"Not so great.  Could be better."

Not sure if it is true but it sounds like a good story.

I used to tune into Radio Tirana's English language programme late at night on short wave I think if I couldn't sleep. One night a deadpan headline with no commentary said "Free Enterprise has sunk." It was when the ferry boat Herald of Free Enterprise went down in the Channel with 129 lives. Have to say I laughed. :bag

The game was in Shkoder. 29 (TWENTY NINE!!!) coaches full of Scotland fans left from, and arrived back to MT Square to attend the game in Shkoder.
