OK, that's not what I was expecting. I no longer think its Indonesia or Malaysia. Looks too dry.

#1 clearly looks Chinese (Chinese characters in red above gate, lion statues) and some people thought that was misdirection and it was a Chinatown but that city is really big and now I'm back to thinking it's a port city in China -- the problem is, places in China with Islamic influence aren't really on the seacoast right?

Ok, this shot looks more promising!

I agree we're no longer looking at Malaysia or Indonesia, but I don't think this is China. This feels more like Africa

And the weird sodden field thing. I thought it was some kind of sports place but just looks like the ground of a tower

well done cherry blossom!I started looking at Port Louis via this list - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinatowns_in_Africa

blimey, well done!

Well it did take 5 photos to get there, and I was nowhere near on the first four. The last shot made me think Africa, and Mauritius the closest part of Africa to Indonesia
Pretty small city so the Chinatown easy to find and the pink/yellow thing popped up after a minute or so going down the main street
The second pic took longer, but I was curious what on earth it was. Didn't look for the others
― cherry blossom, Sunday, 15 August 2021 09:02 (two years ago) link
I had an inkling, early on, that this might by a Chinatown in Africa, but have been too busy this week to spend much time on my hunches
― heyy nineteen, that's john belushi (the table is the table), Sunday, 15 August 2021 10:26 (two years ago) link
Nice job, cherry blossom! I thought Africa too after seeing that last photo, but had no idea where in Africa it could be, and never even remembered the existence of Mauritius. It's interesting how Asian that city looks, in terms of type of construction, vehicles, etc., at least to my eyes.

could def be California, though I also get a New Orleans/ Savannah feeling from the look of that highway

guided path, wheelchair accessible - botanical garden/arboretum sorta thing?
― StanM, Tuesday, 17 August 2021 18:30 (two years ago) link
looks like a college campus to me. possibly a fairly old one (by US standards) given that brick wall. maybe pre-war.
background looks coastal? maybe even a port?
the planting looks too green for los angeles and i can't think of anywhere that nice close to a freeway in LA (mayybe USC, but that brick wall is too old for USC).
― 𝔠𝔞𝔢𝔨 (caek), Tuesday, 17 August 2021 18:35 (two years ago) link
I get a convalescent home vibe, woman on left has a nametag, the two guys in the distance have identical shirt/pants color as that woman.
― nickn, Tuesday, 17 August 2021 18:39 (two years ago) link
I wonder if they're visiting though. It would seem kind of odd for a staff person to be taking a photo of her own workplace...?
― rob, Tuesday, 17 August 2021 18:43 (two years ago) link
the two guys are a google image stitching clone of the same guy
― StanM, Tuesday, 17 August 2021 18:44 (two years ago) link
yes though there is a third, more distant guy who might be wearing the same shirt/pants colors

ghost! disembodied head between photographer's arms
― StanM, Tuesday, 17 August 2021 18:47 (two years ago) link
xpI'm thinking maybe she's taking pictures to send to the older woman's family.
Art gallery also occurred to me, as there is a modern sculpture to the left of the woman in shorts.
― nickn, Tuesday, 17 August 2021 18:53 (two years ago) link
Yeah plus the woman in the wheelchair is possibly holding some kind of brochure or map
on closer look, that "third guy" is not a human, could be a sculpture or I could be hallucinating
― rob, Tuesday, 17 August 2021 19:10 (two years ago) link
I was assuming they were taking a picture of the sunrise/sunset??? Or an airplane?
― a (waterface), Tuesday, 17 August 2021 19:14 (two years ago) link
yeah those are all possible, or it could be the tree that's in the image we already have
― rob, Tuesday, 17 August 2021 19:31 (two years ago) link
am I crazy for thinking that glassy building in the background is the John Hancock in Boston? I know all skyscrapers look like that lol
― a (waterface), Tuesday, 17 August 2021 19:43 (two years ago) link
I think it's SoCal or a similar climate, but I can't think of any elevated roadway that looks like that around here.

looks like spanish moss in the tree on upper right above the head of the woman taking a picture.

The Spanish moss hint was helpful. I was thinking either Southeast or California, but the Spanish moss led me to focus more on the southeast.

ah cool. I got fixated on looking at New Orleans yesterday, and now I really want to go back
― rob, Wednesday, 18 August 2021 12:57 (two years ago) link
excellent, i looked at Charleston, Savannah and Norfolk. Easy to find old brick walls and big oak trees. Couldn't find the bridge in the background.
― that's not my post, Wednesday, 18 August 2021 14:42 (two years ago) link
The bridge was the biggest clue. I tried searching for highway overpass pictures from different cities. The pillars on that one are fairly distinctive. When I saw a picture of that bridge in Jacksonville I knew I was close.
