Found a mosque which looks very much like that in Dubai, but not next to a highway.

Sfax, Tunisia. Was working my way along North African coast and that building came up on the first page of a gis of Sfax. It's a fish market

Lol I was thinking the estuary and skyline looked like Liverpool, the Mersey and the Wirral from Everton valley if you squint hard enough

I was looking at the river (bay?) and what appears to be a big inlet or tributary - maybe even a massive canal going through the middle of town and I started thinking about one of the ports along the Rhine but I think the Rhine is probably too narrow. Hamburg?
As usual I feel I'd have a better chance if I could see some church towers.
― Tim, Monday, 15 March 2021 13:43 (three years ago) link
it looks Nordic and/or Baltic to me, but I don't think the layout is that of Hamburg. Helsinki perhaps?

First instinct is Europe, maybe France? Looking for a French city with an estuary, Le Havre seems like it could fit, similar architecture. Can't find that spot yet tho

it's not Montreal, and I don't think there's another option for a place as dense as that
something about the architecture / roofs looks not North American to me

Is it Dnipro, Ukraine? I can't find the exact view from that angle, but some bridges and buildings look very suggestive of being in the right place.

i've tried the mid-atlantic seaboard in the u.s. and some baltic cities. can't find anything that looks that bright / new lol. feel like it's gotta be a somewhat major shipping port (river adjacent to large body of water?) with those bridges.
xp!

xp, but ima post anyway.Not anywhere in the US, I don't see a single billboard or any large advertisement sign, which would be very unusual in that much city.

Dnipro for sure, this is the red-with-white-stripes building in the bottom right corner:https://goo.gl/maps/wjNfp9u6tZod9EDw9

Much of it was built up after the fall, unlike some other cities, but also worth mentioning that like Cracow in Poland, a certain amount of the pre-war city remained because it was occupied by the Nazis relatively briefly...and they also thought it was very beautiful. So much of Cracow's centrum remains relatively intact. It's odd.

Ha amazing. I was sure I could see the Matagarup bridge and then there was another bridge in about the right place and on the map there was a stadium in about the right location... which I didn’t check, looks nothing like the one in the pic. Good Dnipro-finding.
― Tim, Tuesday, 16 March 2021 21:58 (three years ago) link
The bridge in the foreground doesn't appear to have clearance for freighters, but definitely can accommodate river barges.

There didn't seem to be enough cities on rivers in Canada, so I thought to try Russia and Eastern Europe. Started with Kiev moved south. Luckily found Dnipro pretty quick.

Original view here.
The pictured Dnipro arena was too small for use in Euro 2012.
In 2015 Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk (as they were then known) knocked out Olympiacos, Ajax, Brugge, and Napoli before losing to to Sevilla in the Europa League final. They had to play their European home games in Kyiv due to the conflict in Eastern Ukraine (even though the city itself isn't really affected?). They then when bust in 2019, but there is now a successor club, SC Dnipro-1
