Nuuk, Greenland?

Is yours the Pacific?

Mine is neither Sweden nor Greenland but I will give you an additional hint; I wrote it down since I'd never heard of it and wouldn't be exactly sure how to find it again.

If it's not Sweden, it's Russia. I think the font on the left looks Cyrillic, even.
It must be a big city because of all the well-trodden snow and six story building.
It must be a very cold city because the snow's been there a long time.
Is it Novosibirsk? St. Petersburg?

Ópen W. (Ówen P.), Friday, 26 August 2011 22:05 (twelve years ago) link

Not Faroe, no.
The most famous thing about this small town is not the kirkja but the fjara

Ópen W. (Ówen P.), Friday, 26 August 2011 22:11 (twelve years ago) link

About 1k miles off

Ugh, damn. I have no idea.

Ópen W. (Ówen P.), Friday, 26 August 2011 22:28 (twelve years ago) link

Getting closer!

Kazan's about that sort of distance and is ostentatious wealthy but i'm not sure.
