Guess the City

other than that, feels Eastern European

something big, near mountains that are that high - power station in the city - several churches that feel +/- orthodox maybe? mmmmm - I'm trying to make Zagreb work but it feels too small

Don't think it's Tbilisi or Yerevan, mountains feel too low for Budapest... (could be wrong about everything, of course) - I really have no idea - I thought there were more big cities near mountain ranges over there

Stuck thinking China...

Košice ? Meh, too small

feels more greek influenced, like macedonia

I think the buildings aren't colourful enough to be southern europe?

could it be sofia?

the more I look at it.. it very well could be

can't seem to find the power station towers though

(chimneys)

oooooh

was looking at Sofia a couple of days ago but couldn't identify whatever that stadium/arena/mall is

likewise. spent a while with Sofia aerials and wound up ditching it

yean, I can't seem to find the right angle - power station & mountains could be it though

I can't make the distance between the leftmost cooling tower and the others fit with what I see on Google Earth with 3D buildings turned on.

The game is "guess the city", not "provide a gmaps link to the exact photo published by the setter". Next, please!

the game has been exactly the latter for a while now

Agreed that the point shouldn't be to replicate the exact thing. My post was an argument that it might very well not be Sofia!

Boom, I was only looking at Iaşi this morning, amongst several other Romanian and eastern European cities, and luckily remembered seeing the Palace of Culture

Biserica Sfântul Nicolae Domnesc

hats off to you - I had completely misguessed how big the city should be

oh yeah so did I initially. I certainly checked Bucureşti before Iaşi

well i guess i was sort of close!

Friday

Somewhere pretty well off in the south of England, would be my guess.

British isles fo sho

Identifying those hills is key I think. Bit of a Welsh Borders feel, Shropshire maybe?

I wondered about the north downs. Potentially Guildford or Dorking?

Looks like there's a large stadium just left of centre in the distance at the edge of the town/city. Any help to ilx's city guessing avid sports fans?

Bingo, Shrewsbury

Nice one!

Ooh, well done

Bravo.

Tiny bit disappointed that this wasn't a part of Shrewsbury called Bingo but still, well found

Was just going to get a second pic, didn't realize it had been guessed so quickly. Good work, I thought that one might go on feel

You could do it and not tell us :-)

I think it feels mediterranean, maybe? Fortifications, marina, bridge that needs to go up, don't know if those are arabian-inspired arches on the building in the distance (behind the runner)?

... can't seem to find it around the mediterranean unless I've missed it

I Know What You Did Last Summer

I Know What You Did Last Summer

seriously Stan, you checked *all of the* Mediterranean region for cities/towns with what… white bridges? I did a random Google search to that effect, to no avail obviously

I’m mostly curious about that dark brown structure on the right, which looks like it might be some kind of fortress/ fortification, or maybe it’s just a residential area with brown houses/buildings - can’t really tell, the resolution is quite low

on the right? on the left I mean
