Guess the City

also the one bridge i see in kobe looks different

ok not colon either

I got to Kobe too when looking for the bridge, but Kobe's too big I think.
I was thinking European Mediterranean, but I see no spires or churches. I think it's too green for east/south Med.
I don't think it's an island country because the port isn't busy.
I think the bridge is over a rivermouth, as there seems to be the remnants of an old harbour just inside it, and if it was a natural harbour it would have been developed in preference to building a new one
A lot of the residential towers appear to have cube shapes perched on top. Is that characteristic of anywhere?

it's not kobe, there are not open fields that close to the city center. downtown kobe looks nothing like that. the tiered hotels are not a japanese style.

Also, I see no shanty town, which I'd expect to see if the country was poor because of all the unused land

a lot of things could be out of the frame: shantytowns, a central tourist area, etc

I can't find any coastal city in Mexico or Cen America that is both as large and as hilly.

xp true

this part of town could be a hole

Hualien City is similiar but not quite.

i thought i was onto something with Hobart, but nope

is it Penang / Butterworth Malaysia ?

i don't think so. there's not two big green fields seperated by a waterway near the shore.

this is frustrating

To answer Ismael I'd say most of the points are correct except this one

- I'm guessing a population of around 300,000- I'm guessing a population of around 300,000

I think its population is more like 100,000

i feel like im running low on cities i can think of to post.

Great, that means it's even less likely that it's somewhere notable xp.

I thought of a reason for the crazy density among the woodland left-of-centre. I think the forest is on higher ground than the buildings, so that the high-rises are in narrow, shallow canyons snaking back from the main city. Don't suppose this'll jog any memories?

Not A Coruna, in Galicia?

alternate view of 91

almost has to be japan, korea or Taiwan

97

Bradford?

Actually I think it is Keighley

Correct first time!

Are you going to tell us what 91 is first?

Oh yes!

91 is here - you should be able to see the distinctive shape from this

http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=38.194347,128.587074&spn=0.050457,0.076904&t=h&z=14

Well that's a relief. You have no idea how many hours I spent gazing at that photo, hoping the Eiffel Tower or the Pyramids would suddenly emerge into view

Ha sorry. I know it was kind of an obscure one but people were successful at getting all kinds of obscure ones and I thought the shape kind of distinctive

Is 94 Charlotte?

98=Roanoke Virginia, from Mill Mountain!

P.S. Hi dere!

damn. i was checking everything likely in New England and the mid-Atlantic, and stopped just short, at Lynchburg.

98 is indeed Roanoke, well done! Surpisingly recognisable and distinctive perhaps

I grew up there! More recognizable with the star, perhaps ;)

99. Ok so its hardly a city but I'm sure someone will get it!

new hope, pa?

It isn't - but that is a very good guess!

91: Valdez, Alaska?

Oh, wait, I just saw the first 91 photo, and now I says, Halifax?

I'm guessing it has to be in the U.S. Right-side driving + use of word "State Law". Then again, maybe some provinces use the word "state" for sign purposes?

and you know, american flags. minor details.

101: Glossop? It's not Bath is it?

Closer with the first guess. Wildly wrong with the second!

I said it's not Bath! : )

Uh, Harrogate?

A bit too hilly for Harrogate!

#100 is hard - I don't even know what to guess at

I don't actually know what Harrogate is like, but the photo seems a bit posher than a lot of the dumps I'm thinking of.

101 looks a bit like Hebden Bridge to me.
