Santiago Chile

Andy the Grasshopper, Thursday, 1 October 2020 20:33 (three years ago) link

is it Paris?

Two Meter Peter (Ste), Thursday, 1 October 2020 20:39 (three years ago) link

The combo of the roofs and the church gives me Central Europe vibes, Czechoslovakia?

Guayaquil (eephus!), Thursday, 1 October 2020 20:47 (three years ago) link

Zurich?

or something, Thursday, 1 October 2020 22:09 (three years ago) link

Having lived in Nantes, this looked really familiar to me. That looks like the Loire.

North end of Pont Mirabeau, Tours.

Alternative Ulsterbus, Thursday, 1 October 2020 22:26 (three years ago) link

nicely done

budo jeru, Thursday, 1 October 2020 22:33 (three years ago) link

Yeeeoo.

Alternative Ulsterbus, Thursday, 1 October 2020 22:38 (three years ago) link

With the first image north end of the Pont Napoleon.

Or actually, from the Ile Simon that the Pont Napoleon passes over.

Voulez-vous un coup d'etat, ce soir? (Sanpaku), Thursday, 1 October 2020 22:57 (three years ago) link

Oui exactement. Tower in the first pic just looks like a 70s block with a weird pitched roof added to match surrounding buildings.

Alternative Ulsterbus, Thursday, 1 October 2020 23:16 (three years ago) link

right, i should have written "same river, different bridge"

sorry if that threw anybody off xp

budo jeru, Friday, 2 October 2020 01:58 (three years ago) link

damn i was so close

Two Meter Peter (Ste), Friday, 2 October 2020 07:48 (three years ago) link

That building has a horrified face on the left hand side.

Also, it's Falmouth in Cornwall.

brain (krakow), Friday, 2 October 2020 10:45 (three years ago) link

certainly is.

Two Meter Peter (Ste), Friday, 2 October 2020 10:46 (three years ago) link

Yas! Ok, new one coming...

got it from the photo credit in the corner which is probably cheating

neith moon (ledge), Friday, 2 October 2020 11:07 (three years ago) link

Ah, blast, I missed that! I had even stripped the gps data from the exif. Edited now to remove the credit. Not my photo btw - apologies to the photographer for nabbing the image for entertainment purposes.

brain (krakow), Friday, 2 October 2020 11:22 (three years ago) link

Thanks for the tip off and not revealing the answer ledge. I'm sure someone will get it in the more traditional manner before too long.

Is it in India?

Boring, Maryland, Friday, 2 October 2020 16:05 (three years ago) link

ste, for future reference a lot of us browse ilx with images turned off so this just displays like this with the whole url

here comes the hotstamper (jim in vancouver), Friday, 2 October 2020 20:27 (three years ago) link

It's not Colombo and it's not in India. Does indeed look dope though and I hope to go there at some point.

Also, when I opened it in a separate window, that was the window's title.

nickn, Friday, 2 October 2020 22:10 (three years ago) link

ah right, noted thanx.

Two Meter Peter (Ste), Friday, 2 October 2020 23:16 (three years ago) link

Bamako?

Alternative Ulsterbus, Saturday, 3 October 2020 02:05 (three years ago) link

Or maybe I'm just interested in the way the Niger river flows to the desert.

Alternative Ulsterbus, Saturday, 3 October 2020 02:22 (three years ago) link

Not Bamako.

A couple of the guesses more so than the other, but you're all very far away thus far.

brain (krakow), Saturday, 3 October 2020 10:25 (three years ago) link

building in the bottom right is the thing to look at here, I think. Architecture looks maybe Turkish, or central Asian, though the plants look more tropical.

好 now 烧烤 (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 3 October 2020 10:49 (three years ago) link

Suspect its provincial Indonesia, but I've yet to find a match.

Sanpaku, Saturday, 3 October 2020 18:00 (three years ago) link

managua ?

budo jeru, Saturday, 3 October 2020 23:55 (three years ago) link

Indonesia is very far away.

It's been a few days now, so I'll say that it's not Managua, but that is much closer than other guesses so far.

brain (krakow), Sunday, 4 October 2020 11:13 (three years ago) link

Paramaribo?

好 now 烧烤 (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 4 October 2020 11:22 (three years ago) link

Ciudad Bolívar?

or something, Sunday, 4 October 2020 11:24 (three years ago) link

Actually looks quite like Georgetown, low buildings and lots of trees there.

好 now 烧烤 (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 4 October 2020 11:27 (three years ago) link

It's remarkable how newer residential / small business architecture has converged to a single style throughout the middle income tropics. Before cinder blocks, rust painted galvanized steel roofing, and rooftop tanks for water, it would have been possible to narrow down to a region just from foreground structures.

Sanpaku, Sunday, 4 October 2020 14:43 (three years ago) link

These newer ones are all good guesses, but not right. I'll try to find an additional non-revealing photo tonight.

brain (krakow), Sunday, 4 October 2020 15:46 (three years ago) link

A bit closer in, so maybe this will give it away.

ok yeah very strong spanish/portuguese colonial vibe

Doctor Casino, Sunday, 4 October 2020 22:02 (three years ago) link

Belem?

Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Sunday, 4 October 2020 22:23 (three years ago) link

Cienfuegos, Cuba

nate woolls, Monday, 5 October 2020 00:25 (three years ago) link

Yes! You've got it nate woolls, it is Cienfuegos.

I was meant to be going there next spring, but not now, for obvious reasons.

brain (krakow), Monday, 5 October 2020 09:40 (three years ago) link

I just googled "grey building with red dome" and it was the 4th image result
