Got lucky, just googled "yellow church" and it was in the first page of image results.
This is the first one of these I've ever got so I'm feeling very pleased with myself. Not so much into setting them myself though so please go ahead.

I was a long way out on this, I'd got it into my head the second photo was Monterrey Argentina but that the first photo wasn't. Saw the third photo and abandoned any notions of south americ

The incongruous penguin and friends should have been more of a giveaway it wasn't South America

when I google "yellow church" there is one in Macau but it's another one alltogether :-)

Its only a matter of time before there is one with a branch of Card Factory, a fully grey sky, and a road sign that says Bosom-on-Trent 4 miles and it will be in Wenzhou

There will be a perfect replica of The Britannia stadium and a Pulis lookalike on the street outside a hologram of Greggs. It will then turn out that Tony is the manager of Shenzhen Town

A much easier one, I think:

Found a mosque which looks very much like that in Dubai, but not next to a highway.

Sfax, Tunisia. Was working my way along North African coast and that building came up on the first page of a gis of Sfax. It's a fish market

Indeed it is. Well done!

Monday morning

looks a bit like Manchester at first glance

Lol I was thinking the estuary and skyline looked like Liverpool, the Mersey and the Wirral from Everton valley if you squint hard enough

I was looking at the river (bay?) and what appears to be a big inlet or tributary - maybe even a massive canal going through the middle of town and I started thinking about one of the ports along the Rhine but I think the Rhine is probably too narrow. Hamburg?
As usual I feel I'd have a better chance if I could see some church towers.
― Tim, Monday, 15 March 2021 13:43 (three years ago) link
it looks Nordic and/or Baltic to me, but I don't think the layout is that of Hamburg. Helsinki perhaps?

First instinct is Europe, maybe France? Looking for a French city with an estuary, Le Havre seems like it could fit, similar architecture. Can't find that spot yet tho

don't those pine trees look kinda southern?
― StanM, Monday, 15 March 2021 15:34 (three years ago) link
Pretty sure they have those in Normandy at least.
― Tim, Monday, 15 March 2021 15:58 (three years ago) link
The trees are throwing me a bit.

I was thinking maybe somewhere in Quebec on the St. Lawrence.
― o. nate, Tuesday, 16 March 2021 19:28 (three years ago) link
it's not Montreal, and I don't think there's another option for a place as dense as that
something about the architecture / roofs looks not North American to me
― rob, Tuesday, 16 March 2021 20:00 (three years ago) link
I’m pretty sure it’s Perth now.

The trees don't look right for Australia.
― Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 16 March 2021 20:18 (three years ago) link
pretty sure it's in a deciduous zone.

Is it Dnipro, Ukraine? I can't find the exact view from that angle, but some bridges and buildings look very suggestive of being in the right place.
― o. nate, Tuesday, 16 March 2021 20:44 (three years ago) link
i've tried the mid-atlantic seaboard in the u.s. and some baltic cities. can't find anything that looks that bright / new lol. feel like it's gotta be a somewhat major shipping port (river adjacent to large body of water?) with those bridges.
xp!

the row of buildings at center right stretching into the bg looks soviet possibly
