The anglicism 'Sale' replaced the German words 'Sommerschlussverkauf' and 'Winterschlussverkauf' a while ago, much to the relief of German sign-writers.
I recognised the store logo, but was beaten to the punch on Düsseldorf.
The premises in Schadowstraße is now an opticians, I think: https://ergra-low-vision.de/

I still think it's China. In most countries a river that size would allow you to narrow it down to coastal cities, but not China. Doesn't look muddy enough to be the Yellow River or the Yangtze at least

is the ultra modern looking thing on the left a stadium or a train station?+ these very colorful buildings in the front, a circus tent - amusement park maybe?
― StanM, Thursday, 16 September 2021 15:00 (two years ago) link
Architecture in the foreground doesn't look Chinese to me. Unless maybe it is a college campus deliberately designed to look Western or something.
― o. nate, Thursday, 16 September 2021 18:36 (two years ago) link
The groupings of distant buildings remind me strikingly of South Korea

I was going to say, looks a bit like one of those previous photos that turned out to be in the Ukraine or Russia.

Looks more like Kiev tbh, the island in the middle matches up with maps in a certain way.

Well done. Was hoping to get some idea of what all those russian style buildings are, they're not identified in google maps itself but I found a user review: Located in the Sun Island Scenic Area, Russian-style Town is a Russian-themed tourist spot and sightseeing area. The town retains a few dozen Russian-style villas and private residences. You can walk into these buildings for a visit.
The space age building on the far left, however, is completely unmarked.

The space age building is Harbin Grand Theatre

Wow I was sure that it wasn't China.I wouldn't be so keen on moving to Harbin, it gets real cold there in the winter.

Smashed it!
The aerial photo is super close to the icy river one you found, a bit to the NW next to Harbin Polarland

And yeah it does share strange similarities with the Dnipro aerial shot from the other time!

Interesting.. so the architecture was done deliberately to evoke a Russian appearance. Nice find.

can't find the exact location of your pic (weird, do different countries get different pics maybe?) - can only find one very close:

Missed this one but, yep, Harbin was mostly built by Russian railway workers and, though it has obviously changed a lot, the historical buildings (and faux historical ones) often have a heavy Russian influence.
