tehran?

It's not Tehran. As a small clue, in case it doesn't come across that well in the picture resolution, there is water in front of the mountains.

Yes!

somewhere mountainous in europe that doesn't look like europe had to be albania

ogmor, Sunday, 4 December 2016 11:48 (seven years ago) link

That is a tough one. The mountains and style of the buildings makes me think somewhere like Almaty but idk.

Bubba H.O.T.A.P.E (ShariVari), Sunday, 4 December 2016 19:58 (seven years ago) link

somewhere with bad air

lag∞n, Sunday, 4 December 2016 20:01 (seven years ago) link

not Almaty, sorry

never have i been a blue calm sea (collardio gelatinous), Sunday, 4 December 2016 20:04 (seven years ago) link

The uniformity of the central block looks more planned than I envisage Almaty. I am leaning towards China.

Does Shijiazhuang have mountains like that?

Urumqi it is. Farthest from the sea of all major cities in the world.

good factiod

lag∞n, Sunday, 4 December 2016 21:12 (seven years ago) link

it's within bragging distance from the remotest "continental pole of inaccessibility" (a term i only learned of today)

never have i been a blue calm sea (collardio gelatinous), Sunday, 4 December 2016 21:22 (seven years ago) link

Inaccessibility? Seems like an outdated term. Airplanes fly and the ocean of air touches every part of the globe terrestrial globe.

great. it took me so long to arrive at that. i circled around the globe mentally like a dog looking for a spot to settle down in. the lack of highways pointed me away from US cities, but then it was the shape of the dark green hills in the background combined with the relatively low-profile sprawl -- vaguely recollected from time I spent there in the murderous eighties -- that zeroed me in.

enjoy yr trip, alomar!

never have i been a blue calm sea (collardio gelatinous), Monday, 5 December 2016 05:21 (seven years ago) link

Paris?

Tuomas, Monday, 5 December 2016 13:35 (seven years ago) link

Paris was my first thought as well, but the layout of the parks seems off. I'm going with Moscow.

never have i been a blue calm sea (collardio gelatinous), Monday, 5 December 2016 13:59 (seven years ago) link

Moscow is correct. Excellent park-spotting!

Bubba H.O.T.A.P.E (ShariVari), Monday, 5 December 2016 14:20 (seven years ago) link

Thank you. All those nights in the Bois de Boulogne paying off finally. (kidding kidding)

ciderpress, Monday, 5 December 2016 16:36 (seven years ago) link

lag∞n, Monday, 5 December 2016 16:40 (seven years ago) link

lag∞n, Monday, 5 December 2016 16:41 (seven years ago) link
