not hilly enough for lisbon actually. but i reckon it's european

Scandinavian or Baltic, I reckon.

i know what it is now - but i wont say cause i used internet trickery to figure it out

Pines in foreground plus architecture make me think Soviet-land or possibly Pyongyang.

Helsinki? There's a low-rent casino-spire on the left and a church-thing on the right that makes me think Orthodox nation, but it ain't Athens or such. Hmm.

The houses in the foreground don't look very Soviet.

Just about to say Helsiniki?

xpost True, I would peg them as Scandanavian...
If they are houses!!!
― dell, Monday, 13 October 2008 16:07 (fifteen years ago) link
I was thinking helsinki, but I just don't recall any tower blocks like that, and I don't think it is Kuopio or Tampere. Espoo?
― Dead Cat Bounce (Ed), Monday, 13 October 2008 16:07 (fifteen years ago) link
My initial thought was Gothenburg - pretty sure it isn't, but that was what put me on the Scandinavia track.

I've been to Bratislava, it didn't much look like that.

Arkhangelsk?
― Poll Wall (Noodle Vague), Monday, 13 October 2008 16:12 (fifteen years ago) link
Not hilly enough I guess. Could be central European though.

― Granny Dainger, Monday, 13 October 2008 16:19 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah I was thinking E. Europe but that's true about the houses.

it looks a little Northern Virginia-y, except more communistic-like

I'm guessing non-Toronto Ontario.. like London, Ontario.. or Petersborough?

xp - my first thought was "somewhere in Alberta" too, but it doesn't look tundra-ey enough.

This one's a bit hard, isn't it? I ended up cheating too and even then I had to zoom out about six times on google maps to find out what country it's in
― Ismael Klata, Monday, 13 October 2008 16:58 (fifteen years ago) link
That's what I thought, too, like Shirlington except not enough freeway, or somewhere in western Ffx County.

Some bored googling of "cantilever bridge" and "amusement park" has given me the answer
A woman after my own heart.

*ngghh* I just can't do it, man. I will say that a couple of the answers have been very close, though

A bunch of people were close upthread all saying similar things (v good deduction i thought!)
