Guess the City

yeah could be

sorry, don't mean to be a debbie downer.

it's 1 am here, sorry :-)

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

harbour location

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

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

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.

Good Morning

my instinct is to go look around the LA-San Diego kind of area?

bridge-finding team activate!

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?

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).

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.

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...?

the two guys are a google image stitching clone of the same guy

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

xp
I'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.

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

I was assuming they were taking a picture of the sunrise/sunset??? Or an airplane?

yeah those are all possible, or it could be the tree that's in the image we already have

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

I think it's SoCal or a similar climate, but I can't think of any elevated roadway that looks like that around here.

US Botanic Garden in Washington, DC?

Google Lens'ing the pathway led toward Cal State uni and Liberty Island NYC, but no sign of this pic at either

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

upper left that is...

Jacksonville, FL!

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.

nice!

my instinct was wrong.

nice work

ah cool. I got fixated on looking at New Orleans yesterday, and now I really want to go back

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.

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.

Weekend City

Weekend City

Tram surely?

looks really familiar, tempted to say Wroclaw but don't think they would have those trams.

Lublin has trams, looks a bit like Lublin but having a hard time finding good street views.

I guess Lublin has trolleycars, actually, but it does look like track on those cobblestones.
