Guess the City

def looks like it, now for the spot

cable car :)

or maybe not, because a system like

spoke too soon either way

please ignore

manilla looks too built up for that picture.

is it the decommisioned Rio cable cars? they look similar in shape and colour. no idea about the vie though.

Caracas?

I think I have significantly underestimated how far away Caracas is from the water.

so we're on a mountain, the sun is setting behind us = the city is to the east of the mountain and further away there's this very big white fortification type thing with a mountain/hill inside of it? Intriguing and no idea.

Hong Kong

is there a part of Hong Kong with so few skyscrapers?

the high-rises don't look extremely new like they would do in China

There sure are a lot of cities with cable cars in the world.

This is quite a good article on the subject, though no help in the matter at hand: https://howwegettonext.com/cable-cars-are-changing-the-world-61f2b803c129

They’re very common as transport in mountainous cities, but mostly inland, which makes me wonder whether this could be a tourist one.

That white fortification/palace/building complex in the distance must be something famous, no? Why can't I find anything about it

man - I thought - what if we're in a lake! Big city in a lake? But then I found out the lake beneath Mexico City has been filled up centuries ago :-/

how old is this photo? ;-)

It was one of those articles about funiculars that made me think it could be Hong Kong...looks like the terrain and whatnot is very similar to the Ngong Ping 360.

i think it's somewhere in indonesia

ha nevermind, the foliage isn't right for it

it could be Korea? Seoul's cityscape is similar, but it's not big enough for there, so... Daegu perhaps?

feels like the port on the left is too big to be that far inland, but SK does have a lot of cities near the sea, good idea

mmmmm - Busan immediately doesn't feel very wrong

It does seem like there are at least a few South Korean cities with cable car installations not unlike the one in the photo.

I give up :-(

Another photo please?

ok!

I think I see Chinese characters in signs. I'm thinking maybe Taiwan now..

I thought that 7 underscore 0 (bottom right, on the road, in front of the parked cars) looked Korean fo sho

Mokpo, South Korea

Nice, how did you get it?

It was maybe only the 15th South Korean city I looked at. The harbour helped

nice!

I saw everything from Busan to Jindo - if only I had kept at it :(

South Korea has a lot of cities!

Doesn't look like there's any magnificent square fortification round a hill, just tower blocks all blurred together by the distance.

yeah, it only looked like it was one big complex on that first picture.

can I just.. cherry blossom, you're very good at this. thank you.

Hm, thought the graffiti on the building on the right would be useful, but just seems to be some initials.

Tells us it's somewhere the Roman alphabet is used at least

Can't quite figure out what's going on with that building -- clearly occupied (towels hanging off some balconies) but many of the windows are missing? Partially abandoned?

Going to have a wild stab in the dark guess - Luanda

it’s this building in Lunik IX in Košice, Slovakia

https://www.teraz.sk/regiony/kosice-vsetci-testovani-na-novy-kor/460123-clanok.html

fuck, I've been to Košice! just for a few hours on the way to Michalovce, still should really have made a better guess.

oh wow - that was fast

how do you possibly look at that and go "oh, kosice slovakia"

it looked a) extremely poor, but also b) very (Central) European (the foliage especially), which made me think that it might be a Romani neighbourhood (the people in the picture seemed to fit in with that) (also, we have had a different Romani neighbourhood in Bulgaria (?) last year iirc) - googled and pictures of Lunik IX came up

Even with picking one of the less distinctive buildings I had a feeling it might go quickly!

But maybe not quite that quickly!
