Is this a city? Or a joke?

Pretty terrible. No creativity. I barely had to think at all to complete it.

I appreciate beginner-level puzzles as I learn these puzzles, but it's helpful to have interesting, recognizable pictures to work on. This was dull.

Kvartal.. Ikea for curtain tracks?

Emery (23 June 2016, 20:52) complain

I really liked this one, though I don't understand the name

MISH (3 October 2016, 13:59) complain

Could be better!

Guest: guillermo (21 June 2017, 21:38) complain

I see a tree and eh... and eh...

I thought it was alright. I like very simple puzzles sometimes.
I'm not sure what 'Kvartal' means. It might be Russian for a tower block?

Jimbobovalsocks (29 July 2017, 1:53) complain

Norwegian for 'quarter' according to Google translate!

Guest: loxie (4 August 2017, 12:28) complain

how basic was this. laughing @ 'ikea for curtain tracks' :)

Guest: maloreiy (23 August 2017, 20:37) complain

Well, I liked it, anyway. I wanted something quick and easy. I liked that the windows on the buildings were different. It's very basic, but there's nothing wrong with that.

Allyson (8 November 2017, 2:18) complain

I personally liked this one! A quick Google search seems to say that "Kvartal" is Swedish for a Quarter - or - a city block, which I think makes sense for this image!

Sheryl_Hill (23 November 2017, 2:21) complain

If you visit cities that were in the Eastern bloc, you will find miles upon miles of plain gray high-rise buildings. The tree is the message of hope in the midst of that terrible ugliness and conformity. Well done, Barva!

I'm totally wrong here--see John Robertshaw below.

Karal_Daskin (24 January 2018, 10:45) complain

Good.

John_Robertshaw (28 May 2018, 14:18) complain

Zagorodny Kvarta is an example - translated it means "Country Quarter" A new developement in Moscow - designed by Californian architects!

See:

It makes the image very understandable

Thank you for this explanation. Makes complete sense.

John_Robertshaw (28 May 2018, 14:23) complain

In June 2014 the complex was a winner of the Real Estate Records Awards in the nomination for Best Low-Rise Complex.

Kvarta is also the name of an Ikea curtain track - but I think that we should discount the Ikea Idea on Here!

Really well done, John! Thank you for finding this. I think some of our new university student housing borrowed from this model. Here's John's link again. It's definitely worth a look: http://rdcm.com/en/projects/zagorodny-kvartal/ !

Honestly, I skipped this easy one for a bit, because I thought it was a boat. Figured, too easy for what seems revealed in the grid. I was surprised and glad I did this one. It is not the boat I thought it would be.

APatino (20 November 2019, 6:09) complain

Loved the design! Very pretty :) thank you for your effort

Stephanie_Cummings (8 January 2020, 5:54) complain

Google Translate says it means "Neighborhood" in Bulgarian

babsghia (30 September 2020, 22:03) complain

at least there are 2 little purple bushes, thanks

Anaderol (6 January 2023, 14:23) complain

Reminds me of the Frasier introduction images... :):):)

Nice and simple to solve without using Xs. Easy beginner puzzle.
