Looks a bit German to me

I can see a two-spired cathedral on July 27th photo. Is it Fulda?

Sheffield?

no those roofs are extremely mitteleuropäische

the chimney stack in front of the hills does look a lot like the hope valley cement works though!

that does look like dear old Blighty to me but mind you I've never been to central europe

i think the roofs are too steep (they're designed for snow) and too red (they're slate in the UK).
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Tuesday, 25 August 2020 18:41 (three years ago) link
I spent ages thinking it was somewhere in the UK too - the neoclassical pile towards the right hand side of the Jul 27 pic, but (as Caek said) I'd be amazed if those roofs were in the UK. That little two-spired church spotted by FGTI (visible between the two left-most tree trunks on the Jul 27 pic, I reckon it's probably too small to be the town cathedral?) makes me think Germany or nearby.
"Germany or nearby" too big. I am left with absolutely no clue where it might be.

Could it be Stuttgart? That church could be the St. Maria Kirche?
― Tim, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 10:22 (three years ago) link
what are those buildings (or is it one complex?) with those two minaret-like chimneys or whatever they are in the centre of yesterday's pic? is it something industrial?
(there's a church somewhat to the left of it/them that looks Central European to me)

I put Stuttgart Factory chimneys into google image search and got these, from yer actual kraftwerk (Heizkraftwerk Stuttgart-Gaisburg in this case) and they could be the same? The complex slightly behind them in yesterday's pic could be the Mercedes plant / museum.

which might mean that church, if we're looking at the same one, is the Evangelisches Pfarramt Gaisburg:

it may be cheating a little bit because I remember you had plans of going there like a year ago - but could it be Guangzhou? (if it’s not that it’s definitely in that region, probably more to the south than to the north of it)

Looks to be on the coast?

Off the cuff guess is Salvador, but this needs some thinking

Those streets are super quiet but maybe its a post-covid photo!

I think the only one I have got recently is when someone posted one of the 4 cities in my country lol

Panama City is correct!

I was in the right hemisphere at least, but would never have got that

My failure to engage with this thread makes me feel better about my ecological footprint.

Port-au-Prince?
― pomentiful (pomenitul), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 20:19 (three years ago) link
It’s Haiti, I’m guessing Port-au-Prince, although the Coca Cola van leads me to Mirebalais.

Those colourful portico streets appear to be typical of Cap-Haïtien.

Ummmm.... somewhere in the UK? Or Canada?
― Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 22:39 (three years ago) link
it's in Europe but not the UK. A well-known city, though not this bit of it.
― Anti-Cop Ponceortium (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 22:44 (three years ago) link
you've got to wait before you start giving out hints! i just wrote a long post and now it is consigned to history.
i got that it wasn't in the UK. driving on the right and the street signs are wrong.

That is France (couple kissing in public, also that yellow-diamond street sign is unique to France)

Mm I guess it could be Belgium, too. I'd guess Brussels. Looks dingy
― my god, it's full of bugles (flamboyant goon tie included), Thursday, 27 August 2020 01:02 (three years ago) link
I was going to say somewhere out near the peripherique in Paris, it has that vibe. But having googled the upside down triangle sign, it has "cedez le passage" underneath it in France, but not in Belgium, so I'm guessing Brussels. That curved lattice structure to the right should be identifiable.
