It looks like there is a fairly large factory or set of Soviet-style mid-rise tower blocks in the background. Idk, Narva?

too big and too many trees for Greenland surely

yeah, the mountains are too worn too, Nuuk is a lot craggier

Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk?

Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk?

not a bad effort, warming up a little

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 11 March 2020 16:46 (four years ago) link

Def looks Russian to me but could be Alaska somewhere. Norne?

ShariVari, Wednesday, 11 March 2020 17:07 (four years ago) link

Terrible guess!

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 11 March 2020 17:12 (four years ago) link

haha

jim in vancouver has played the best so far with good team play, Citroen surged forward with a driving run but then the move all came to nothing with a disappointing effort there

jim in vancouver has played the best so far

I can list places it isn't too :)

eager to see where this ends up.... not guessing because unless the photo actually includes a city i suck at this. architecture and urbanism are my cribs here, I suck at general landscape, foliage, accoutrements, geography and micro-clues.

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 11 March 2020 17:44 (four years ago) link

is this going to end up being mongolia?

Yerac, Wednesday, 11 March 2020 18:00 (four years ago) link

i suck at all geography but i like the feelings of places.

Yerac, Wednesday, 11 March 2020 18:00 (four years ago) link

Manchuria?

Frederik B, Wednesday, 11 March 2020 18:07 (four years ago) link

Komsomolsk-on-amur?

COVID and the Gang (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 11 March 2020 18:24 (four years ago) link

last minute winner from covid and his gang

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 11 March 2020 18:26 (four years ago) link

damn I actually looked at that place earlier but decided against it for some reason

rob, Wednesday, 11 March 2020 18:27 (four years ago) link

I have let myself down. Well done Jim.

ShariVari, Wednesday, 11 March 2020 18:29 (four years ago) link

Assist points to Citreon too for Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk even if no one got on the end of it to get it over the line!

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 11 March 2020 18:31 (four years ago) link

I'm going to follow that very challenging one up with a picture of the tower of London

This has reminded me that someone I vaguely know flew out to DJ at a night in Khabarovsk at some point in the...00's?

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 11 March 2020 18:50 (four years ago) link

there's something intriguing about the Russian far-east, that's for sure

That wouldn't load for me yesterday! Now it loads but is super small. I'm getting a Levant feeling, maybe Amman?

cherry blossom, Friday, 13 March 2020 11:54 (four years ago) link

Not v close

COVID and the Gang (jim in vancouver), Friday, 13 March 2020 14:07 (four years ago) link

It looks like Iran or Pakistan to me. Karachi?

ShariVari, Friday, 13 March 2020 14:10 (four years ago) link

Yes

COVID and the Gang (jim in vancouver), Friday, 13 March 2020 14:14 (four years ago) link

No way!

(I have seen some pretty groovy Ghanaian church architecture in the last few minutes.)

Tim, Friday, 13 March 2020 14:36 (four years ago) link

Dilijan, Armenia?

Paperbag raita (ledge), Friday, 13 March 2020 14:44 (four years ago) link

Haha. Yes.

ShariVari, Friday, 13 March 2020 14:47 (four years ago) link

my reading and typing words into google skills are second-to-none.

Paperbag raita (ledge), Friday, 13 March 2020 14:52 (four years ago) link

Is that Antananarivo in Madagascar? I realise this is a very specific guess.

Tim, Friday, 13 March 2020 15:37 (four years ago) link

excellent! i was hoping the rice fields would be misleading.

Paperbag raita (ledge), Friday, 13 March 2020 15:46 (four years ago) link

the speed of some of this answers is quite something.

I mean I basically half expected sharivari to get mine right away but there's lots of heavy hitters itt

COVID and the Gang (jim in vancouver), Friday, 13 March 2020 16:42 (four years ago) link

oh lol I almost posted Antananarivo myself but had no clue on ledge's photo

there are several ideas I've had but immediately thought "nah ShariVari will know that instantly"

cherry blossom, Sunday, 15 March 2020 11:27 (four years ago) link

thomasintrouble, Sunday, 15 March 2020 12:54 (four years ago) link

Nice easy one!

cherry blossom, Sunday, 15 March 2020 14:38 (four years ago) link

Yerac, Sunday, 15 March 2020 14:55 (four years ago) link

Yeah, I have no idea how they do it.
