That has to be be the Netherlands - not sure where though. Want to say Utrecht but it doesn't quite fit.

BTW, the hint I needed was the blue roofs on the newer buildings. That mosque looking building in the NW led me on a long detour.
Nice work. (In fact, it's a wholesale market, most famous for flowers.)

Technically that's Ambohimanarina with a bit of Tsarasaotra. It's a remarkable place for rice paddies (elevation 4,300 ft).

Haha, I recognized Kanazawa for SANAA's 21st Century Museum, much-discussed in architecture-school-land, and IMO not as good as their one in Toledo. But very distinctive from above, with the rectangles-in-circle design.

my dad is Chilean and lived for a long spell of his childhood in northern chile, ive never been there but have seen tons of pictures, documentaries etc. and the first thing I thought when I saw that picture was that it was in that part of the world, quite possibly Calama, the town near Chuquicamata, but that if it wasn't it was def in northern Chile, Peru, or Bolivia.

and after Calama Potosi was the only mining town I could think of by name

xp Potosi. Arguably the richest city in the world from 1575 to 1825. Having read Las Venas Abiertas de América Latina in translation, its also the site of atrocity on the grandest scale, too.
