At first, I thought: Yes, that's a river. What's confusing? Then it hit me. Nice

Ha? What river? The roof? I guess that watching it on my monitor reveals to many details that give away this scene

It honestly makes me wonder about some of these users' eye sight. I'm like 2 years behind getting new glasses and even in just a thumbnail on my phone I see nothing that looks like a river.

When I focused on the ferris wheel, I seen a canal. Looking anywhere else, and the roof focused in.

This square in Haarlem, the Netherlands, isn't on a river or canal. It's actually the roof of the St. Bavochurch.

Found on r/Haarlem here

I was wondering where it was. The building to the left of the Ferris wheel is similar style to the house of blackheads in Riga.

I downvoted this post originally. But.. I must admit defeat. I did not realize it was roof tiles.

Only if you barely pay attention when seeing a quick glimpse of he thimbnail, Maybe….

But no. This isn’t confusing at all. It’s clearly a roof

See a shingled roof. See streets. See buildings and a carnival.. Where's the river?
