Guess the City

You devil. That's a very misleading angle, but I got it.

xpost- you got it, clouds, well done. Cartagena de Indias, Colombia.

ha salmon — most shots make it too easy ;)

wtf i am still astounded by how you ppl can do this

This is the most astoundingly fun game I can think of. I can spend hours coming through skyline photos looking for similarities and differences and stuff like mountains in the background. BTW nobody has posted a guess/solution for clouds' last one? Should I give it away?

North America I'm guessing. Houston, somewhere like that?

not in north america

blaaaaargh I got it but it took me forever

1. Spotted the language in the picture
2. Tried to read the english script, googled "yamashiwa"?
3. Tried to place the blue logo, lotta googling
4. Sorted through endless skyline photos and actually ruled out the correct city once before coming back around to it by accident
5. Speculated that this photo was perversely taken from a famous landmark but I can't tell

there is one famous landmark in this city that would certainly give it away

No right-clicking!

I was in the wrong country, but the right general... part of this continent. Went through at least a dozen cities in that country before deciding to look through cities that would have similar rooftops. Then I got sidetracked because this city, if you look at it from any other angle, has a bunch of buildings that don't appear in this photo.

yeah this isn't the view across the city centre as such

That's Brno cathedral.

Easy one. Port of Spain.

Yep.

Lego Stockholm?!

Lego Copenhagen?

Sorry couldn't resist
Something about Port of Spain reminded me of bricks

Wild guess: Cordoba?

close!

Seville.

i've never been, but i bet it'd be good for some flanerie, even better a few hundred years ago

First time I've checked ILX today, and it's finally somewhere I've been! (assuming it actually is Seville, which it looks incredibly like)

should I go or should I just keep watching flamenco videos on youtube?

Andalusian food is amazing, go now

(I've only been to Valencia & Malaga but both places? Great food)

everywhere round the mediterranean has great food, i would definitely like to eat my way round seville sometime

THAT, is St. John's, Nfld.

(Although my first guess was Thunder Bay. "Canada" logo on the red building gave the game away)

This is an easy one I think.

goon tie: correct!

I'm kind of curious what the other guesses would have been for St Johns. Anybody care to post what they thought it might be, even knowing the answer?

sharivari's is baikonur, right?

Right!

We've had that one before, I think (recognise the bridge, can't remember where it is and am not loading all messages to find out!), but iirc it's in China/Japan/Korea somewhere.

did a search for it, couldn't find. you are right to think it's in east asia, though.

wait, damn you're right

anyway it's busan

st. john's?

ketchikan, alaska?

My favourite thread :)

That is definitely St. John's

I was way off on the one above. Could have sworn it was Guam.

St John's it is!
