Guess the City

hmm, maybe the "amish" hat was a clue and this is the Poconos?

Gatlinburg

I think so too, though I can't find the exact location of the photo. If you squint enough, that trolley map says "Gatlinburg Trolley".

I couldn't read the first bit so I did a GIS for "trolley routes map"

Ahhh well done, I was googling Trolley Rides.

still not 100% if that's a ski slope

haven't found the lady yet :)

Correct on the first view - the lady is pretty close by, same part of town

= "Martha Jane Ogle cabin"

I still don't know what the headless man was photographing : https://www.google.com/maps/@35.7143154,-83.5103541,3a,15y,118.86h,87.9t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1slEeqQ2fL6bfitdCjz8ArBw!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

(zoom out to see how that woman in her cabin is actually in a busy part of town)

sorry I keep going on about this but it's hilarious

"The first home built in White Oak Flats / Gatlinburg around 1802. It has been moved three times to allow for expansion of schools and the constant changes of the demands of tourism and now hopefully permanently located at the Gatlinburg Visitor Center at the junction of Hwy's 321/441."

Holy Shit

Thursday

... I have no idea why but it doesn't feel un-British to me?

Does anyone know what kind of sport is played on that court in the right-hand side? Doesn't look like tennis (no net) or basketball (no hoop).

buildings and tv aerials look extremely british to me. but the amount of trees outside the town (an entire hill!) seems wrong for the UK.

I think the only bit of Britain where cities could look remotely like that would be South Wales

Pontypridd, not a city but who cares!

nice! the trees rule out pretty much all of england but i literally forgot about the existence of wales haha.

OMG! So fast! How? :-)

It just looked like the Welsh valleys, I went out with a girl from Aberdare and have family friends from Llantwit Fardre so I'm reasonably familiar with the area. The cities are a bit far out of the valleys to look like that and I know cherry blossom has played fast and loose with the definition before so I started gising the towns. The beige and blue flats were in the 2nd image for Pontypridd. The train station must be just out of shot

amazing! Well done :)

Didn't expect that one to fall quite so easily!

The train station is in shot, but behind the shed

Tin City Alaska has a population of 0 and thats a city it even says so in the name. And if Tin City is a city then Pontypridd must be one too

outside

interesting square building built around a hill in the distance

what's that red-outlined black object (building?) right above the straw hat?

cable car :)

I'm thinking Manila

def looks like it, now for the spot

cable car :)

or maybe not, because a system like

spoke too soon either way

please ignore

manilla looks too built up for that picture.

is it the decommisioned Rio cable cars? they look similar in shape and colour. no idea about the vie though.

Caracas?

I think I have significantly underestimated how far away Caracas is from the water.

so we're on a mountain, the sun is setting behind us = the city is to the east of the mountain and further away there's this very big white fortification type thing with a mountain/hill inside of it? Intriguing and no idea.

Hong Kong

is there a part of Hong Kong with so few skyscrapers?

the high-rises don't look extremely new like they would do in China

There sure are a lot of cities with cable cars in the world.

This is quite a good article on the subject, though no help in the matter at hand: https://howwegettonext.com/cable-cars-are-changing-the-world-61f2b803c129

They’re very common as transport in mountainous cities, but mostly inland, which makes me wonder whether this could be a tourist one.

That white fortification/palace/building complex in the distance must be something famous, no? Why can't I find anything about it
