Lots of clues (poverty, light skin-tones, ex-communist-style architecture) that indicate the poorer parts of Europe or west/central Asia. The most intriguing clue is how flat the landscape is, so most of the Balkans are out. Looks more like the steppes than a littoral, since it is so bereft of vegetation.

I would have accepted Plovdiv given thats the city, but if we're down to neighbourhood level then Stolipinovo is a gold star answer!

that's impressive! because of this i found a documentary about stolipinovo on youtube that i will save to watch later.

no those roofs are extremely mitteleuropäische

the chimney stack in front of the hills does look a lot like the hope valley cement works though!

― Temporary Erogenous Zone (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 25 August 2020 18:35 (three years ago) link
i think the roofs are too steep (they're designed for snow) and too red (they're slate in the UK).
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Tuesday, 25 August 2020 18:41 (three years ago) link
I spent ages thinking it was somewhere in the UK too - the neoclassical pile towards the right hand side of the Jul 27 pic, but (as Caek said) I'd be amazed if those roofs were in the UK. That little two-spired church spotted by FGTI (visible between the two left-most tree trunks on the Jul 27 pic, I reckon it's probably too small to be the town cathedral?) makes me think Germany or nearby.
"Germany or nearby" too big. I am left with absolutely no clue where it might be.
― Tim, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 10:09 (three years ago) link
Could it be Stuttgart? That church could be the St. Maria Kirche?
― Tim, Wednesday, 26 August 2020 10:22 (three years ago) link
what are those buildings (or is it one complex?) with those two minaret-like chimneys or whatever they are in the centre of yesterday's pic? is it something industrial?
(there's a church somewhat to the left of it/them that looks Central European to me)
― No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 26 August 2020 10:38 (three years ago) link
I put Stuttgart Factory chimneys into google image search and got these, from yer actual kraftwerk (Heizkraftwerk Stuttgart-Gaisburg in this case) and they could be the same? The complex slightly behind them in yesterday's pic could be the Mercedes plant / museum.

which might mean that church, if we're looking at the same one, is the Evangelisches Pfarramt Gaisburg:

it may be cheating a little bit because I remember you had plans of going there like a year ago - but could it be Guangzhou? (if it’s not that it’s definitely in that region, probably more to the south than to the north of it)
