Guess the City

Looks Italian. Bologna?

Gah!

Well that was fun.

Looks like a university town and I can just make out 'via' on the right.

love this thread

The guesses for delhi were interesting and show how definitive its islamic character is, to ILX anyway.

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.

Singapore?

nah

Vladivostok. I could swear that pic's already upthread.

yah probably

new city yall

Vladivostok!!

:D

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]

every time i click on this thread someone has just guessed the last one, then i post a nice easy one and once it's guessed nobody posts another #firstworldprobs

ty

Bangkok / Krung Thep Maha Nakhon?

Santavostok?

I was just talking about Bangkok, but no it's neither of those

this is a good one

can u get a higher res pic or something

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?

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.

the time is ~8pm yet it's light, subtropical at most imo

How can you tell its PM?

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.

second photo svp

left-hand drivers

griffons and the southeast Asian detailing

I might be wrong but I think these are all assumptions. The drivers may be on a one way; we have no proof that the person in the car is driving. The details on the front of the building aren't necessarily Asian at all, either. Speaking of assumptions, has anybody else assumed that this is a Victorian era train station? If it's 8PM and sunny still, I assume it's summertime unless that means it's the southern hemisphere, which might explain the Santa.

The left side of the street looks pre-war and the right looks post war.

And then there's the flags (U.S., something with a St. George's cross, and is that a Brazilian flag?).

But the people are too pale in the second photo. Lima, Peru?

Speaking of assumptions, has anybody else assumed that this is a Victorian era train station

Yeah, I had it pegged as a train station, but have now assumed it's a market hall.

That was the other thing I thought, too.

This is a really good one

Not Lima. I have a third photo for emergencies, but I'll hold it back for now because it's a panorama and that might make it too easy.

thinking spain

Montevideo, Uraguay?

Er, Uruguay

Now that you say that, it looks vaguely like Atocha in Madrid.

Neither of those

buenos aires?

Nope. Here's the panorama.

Santiago?

Okay, here's a new one:
