好 now 烧烤 (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 4 October 2020 11:22 (three years ago) link

Ciudad Bolívar?

or something, Sunday, 4 October 2020 11:24 (three years ago) link

Actually looks quite like Georgetown, low buildings and lots of trees there.

It's remarkable how newer residential / small business architecture has converged to a single style throughout the middle income tropics. Before cinder blocks, rust painted galvanized steel roofing, and rooftop tanks for water, it would have been possible to narrow down to a region just from foreground structures.

These newer ones are all good guesses, but not right. I'll try to find an additional non-revealing photo tonight.

A bit closer in, so maybe this will give it away.

Belem?

Cienfuegos, Cuba

nate woolls, Monday, 5 October 2020 00:25 (three years ago) link

Yes! You've got it nate woolls, it is Cienfuegos.

I was meant to be going there next spring, but not now, for obvious reasons.

brain (krakow), Monday, 5 October 2020 09:40 (three years ago) link

I just googled "grey building with red dome" and it was the 4th image result

nate woolls, Monday, 5 October 2020 09:55 (three years ago) link

Ha. I guess it is striking, but that's impressive.

The second image is a view of Parque José Martí and I believe the "grey building with red dome" in question is the Palacio de Gobierno, the regional government headquarters.

brain (krakow), Monday, 5 October 2020 10:12 (three years ago) link

The yellow building with balcony looks Portuguese or former Portuguese colony to me

Zelda Zonk, Monday, 5 October 2020 11:39 (three years ago) link

Croatian maybe

here we go, ten in a rona (onimo), Monday, 5 October 2020 12:46 (three years ago) link

gut instinct is Poland but I think that's just the weather

thomasintrouble, Monday, 5 October 2020 12:48 (three years ago) link

I get mountain resort vibes but, like the above, that may be the weather

or something, Monday, 5 October 2020 12:50 (three years ago) link

yeah my mind went Russia, weather certainly a factor

Doctor Casino, Monday, 5 October 2020 12:52 (three years ago) link

vilnius? istr it looking a bit like that

Jibe, Monday, 5 October 2020 12:59 (three years ago) link

you are very close Jibe

Two Meter Peter (Ste), Monday, 5 October 2020 13:08 (three years ago) link

(that should give it away)

Two Meter Peter (Ste), Monday, 5 October 2020 13:08 (three years ago) link

Kaunas then

here we go, ten in a rona (onimo), Monday, 5 October 2020 13:13 (three years ago) link

Christmas Town

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 23 December 2020 15:10 (three years ago) link

Looks Netherlandsish

or something, Wednesday, 23 December 2020 16:05 (three years ago) link

yeah, so so so flat.

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 23 December 2020 16:23 (three years ago) link

Does remind me of a timelapse video I saw a few months back of a boat (camera tethered above) journey from Rotterdam to Amsterdam

nashwan, Wednesday, 23 December 2020 16:27 (three years ago) link

yep, it is Rotterdam, not Noordereiland, my first thought, but Eiland van Feijenoord, just around the corner from it.

Yes, Rotterdam it is, fairly easy one!

Boxing Day City

Boxing Day City (different angle)

cherry blossom, Sunday, 27 December 2020 12:54 (three years ago) link

I have no idea but I love the white-yellow-red color scheme on that skyscraper in the foreground of pic two

Guayaquil (eephus!), Sunday, 27 December 2020 18:31 (three years ago) link

ottowa?

ffolkes (map), Sunday, 27 December 2020 21:00 (three years ago) link

Yeah, I'm right stumped, though somewhere in Canada does seem a correct guess.

"Bi" Dong A Ban He Try (the table is the table), Sunday, 27 December 2020 22:44 (three years ago) link

Mostly due to the red and white color scheme of the train in the pic. But I can't find any bridges in Ottawa that look like that one, unless I'm missing something huge.

"Bi" Dong A Ban He Try (the table is the table), Sunday, 27 December 2020 22:52 (three years ago) link

You're not missing anything huge, its not Ottawa

Third angle

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 30 December 2020 18:55 (three years ago) link

my guesses are never thoroughly vetted, i just like looking at cities :)

ffolkes (map), Wednesday, 30 December 2020 19:02 (three years ago) link

wherever it is, it looks nice lol

ffolkes (map), Wednesday, 30 December 2020 19:02 (three years ago) link

Calgary?

Edmonton

ffolkes (map), Thursday, 31 December 2020 00:18 (three years ago) link

Doesnt look like canada to me

Babby's Yed Revisited (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 31 December 2020 00:32 (three years ago) link

It's def Canadianesque boreality, so I googled a bunch of Scando cities but they all looked richer. Figured it must be Russia and I was right

flamboyant goon tie included, Thursday, 31 December 2020 01:45 (three years ago) link

Also the coal smokestack in the downtown core? Вот где собака зарыта!

flamboyant goon tie included, Thursday, 31 December 2020 01:47 (three years ago) link

I guess the Boxing Day City thing threw me off...for some reason I assumed it must be a pic of a city where Boxing Day is celebrated, even if the pics themselves weren't seasonally appropriate.

But yes, it's definitely Ufa given the train station's gold some and the color of the passenger trains in that area.

"Bi" Dong A Ban He Try (the table is the table), Thursday, 31 December 2020 02:12 (three years ago) link

Ufa it is!

https://i.postimg.cc/mRZtCtTX/Screenshot-2020-12-31-at-08-02-09.png

This is the next image I was going to use if it hadn't been guessed. Seasonally appropriate in this one!

cherry blossom, Thursday, 31 December 2020 08:04 (three years ago) link

There are certainly a lot of striking photos of Ufa

cherry blossom, Thursday, 31 December 2020 08:05 (three years ago) link

Not sure if this is pretty easy or not that easy, anyway, here you go.

Which is not a city, but it looks like Japan

flamboyant goon tie included, Sunday, 3 January 2021 17:09 (three years ago) link
