It's looking more central Asian, now, one of the 'stans, I imagine.

Delhi, then - I found this picture which seems to have much of the same generic stuff in it
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 16:03 (thirteen years ago) link
I've almost convinced myself it's the same street from a slightly different angle

Lahore?

(Old) Delhi is right. I think both these last photos are from the Jama Masjid looking at the market.

Hurrah! I've just found another version of the same shot:

The guesses for delhi were interesting and show how definitive its islamic character is, to ILX anyway.
― ogmor, Wednesday, 13 April 2011 16:27 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, definitely a Mughal influence (it was their capital) that I assumed was more Turkic but the influence of the Persians on all the Turkic ppl is pretty marked.

There has been much controversey about whether the Russian league should be split into two leagues, East region and Western region, however this is yet to happen. Igor Akinfeev, the CSKA Moscow goalkeeper, said that "they [FC Luch-Energiya Vladivostok] should play in the Japanese League", after his team lost 4-0 after a seven hour flight.[1]

Hmm, tropical climate, early 80s articulated buses, left-hand drivers, no bicycle/moped traffic, European influence, but those griffons and the southeast Asian detailing on the roofline are throwing me off. Manila?
― light...sweet...crude (Sanpaku), Wednesday, 13 April 2011 17:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Not Manila - can't improve the resolution but could offer a second photo with people in it on request. But be warned it looks like a totally different city.

cuz it's too light to be 8am at this sort of the latitude, unless it has some strange time correction

Yep, that Vladivostok pic is already in this thread, I think I named every industrial town in Russia and surrounding areas before someone beat me to it.
That huge Santa in Ismael's one is freaking me out because I didn't even notice it until I zoomed in to try to read what it said on the end of the building.
