Mountains plus church plus lush vegetation plus India suggests Darjeeling or somewhere close.

Could be Nepal (where almost all Darjeeling tea actually comes from) though.

mcleod ganj/dharamsala would be lagoonish

Here's a daytime view near the building in the middle of the above photo, if that helps:

(I obscured a sign on top of one of the buildings, so it won't give you an obvious hint.)

Georgetown, Guyana

Treeship, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 13:32 (seven years ago) link

It's somewhere in Central America or the Caribbean

Treeship, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 13:33 (seven years ago) link

I think the reverse sign in the top left corner of the first picture says Banco something so i'd lean towards Spanish-speaking Caribbean or close to it.

Bubba H.O.T.A.P.E (ShariVari), Wednesday, 30 November 2016 13:39 (seven years ago) link

Not Georgetown.

Tuomas, Wednesday, 30 November 2016 13:48 (seven years ago) link

Plaza detailing makes me think it's somewhere with a metro, though I guess it could just be a mall or parking garage.

San Jose, Costa Rica. Was the red taxis that did it.

looks like somewhere on the coast

El Tomboto, Thursday, 1 December 2016 02:50 (seven years ago) link

i almost photoshopped out the buildings to make it a real challenge

Treeship, Thursday, 1 December 2016 03:01 (seven years ago) link

Miami in a couple years?

nickn, Thursday, 1 December 2016 04:08 (seven years ago) link

I read the url

harold melvin and the bluetones (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 1 December 2016 04:14 (seven years ago) link

well that's obviously cheating and you're banned

Treeship, Thursday, 1 December 2016 04:25 (seven years ago) link

Some of us have images turned off.

Tuomas, Thursday, 1 December 2016 07:39 (seven years ago) link

So it's impossible not to see the url.

Rostock?

Bubba H.O.T.A.P.E (ShariVari), Thursday, 1 December 2016 07:54 (seven years ago) link

Or Hamburg. Somewhere wet and German.

Bubba H.O.T.A.P.E (ShariVari), Thursday, 1 December 2016 07:55 (seven years ago) link

It's HafenCity in Hamburg

The under construction building is the philharmonic

the ilx meme is critical of that line of thought (lion in winter), Thursday, 1 December 2016 08:11 (seven years ago) link

If it hadn't been for the lifebelt and the masts and the Elbphilharmonie, I would have guessed Offenbacher Hafeninsel.

Lion in Winter is correct!

so that looks like the colombian flag (or maybe ecuador). and i guess colombia does have colonial buildings...

i see red and yellow on the flag but i don't see blue (which is not to say it's not there, it's not that big)

harold melvin and the bluetones (jim in vancouver), Thursday, 1 December 2016 19:08 (seven years ago) link

that's a limestone stream

never have i been a blue calm sea (collardio gelatinous), Friday, 2 December 2016 17:52 (seven years ago) link

flag suggests somewhere in cantabria or the republic of georgia. the architecture points me in both directions equally, however.

Goa

Treeship, Saturday, 3 December 2016 05:34 (seven years ago) link

jk, mysore. this is entirely based on the flag, which i think is from the state of karnataka in india.

Treeship, Saturday, 3 December 2016 05:38 (seven years ago) link

Maybe it is my colour settings but that looks more like red and white than red and yellow. The bus would potentially fit more with Poland than India but the architecture would be unusual.

this is clouds' pic btw, but I can tell you that you have gradually got further off course

ogmor, Saturday, 3 December 2016 11:16 (seven years ago) link

tryin to get some of the tiny people in that photo to answer me but they ain't talking

never have i been a blue calm sea (collardio gelatinous), Saturday, 3 December 2016 17:29 (seven years ago) link

it's not in asia or europe

clouds, Saturday, 3 December 2016 19:13 (seven years ago) link

so its in... eurasia B-)

lag∞n, Saturday, 3 December 2016 19:15 (seven years ago) link

I still think it's in the Americas -- the graffiti doesn't look like something you'd find in India, say.
