They look sort of Scandinavian, as does the fact that some of the buildings are gaily coloured. Black soil = volcanic, but it's not Rekjavik and nowhere else in Iceland is big enough. Used to look different usually = destroyed in the war, so that'd be Norway. Bergen? But there's no sea in sight, which is confusing.

Somewhere Alpine/Tyrolean? Innsbruck?

For some reason, it makes me think of Eastern Europe...like maybe Romania?

That tall building with the clock looks a little like that one in Liverpool, but that's on the waterfront, I believe
― StanM, Sunday, 26 September 2010 10:22 (fifteen years ago)
xpost, yeah
Is that the Liver building being built? (Insert obligatory "can't tell if those cars have hubcaps" joke here.)

Liverpool indeed, it's my hometown. I liked that it was the Liver Building without the Liver Birds in place.

how would you even begin with that photo? lampposts? the off-turquoise colour of the building suggests a lowish latitude perhaps
― Adrian Roosevelt "Adie" Mike (nakhchivan), Monday, 8 November 2010 15:47 (fifteen years ago)
the man is wearing a hat, which indicates this city is located in a place where people wear hats

fire escapes, light, oldish, tallish buildings, driving on the right. looks like sf to me.

(i guessed before i saw where it was too - which can make a good "guess the city" candidate to see if others do the same
― cherry blossom, Monday, 8 November 2010 15:56 (fifteen years ago)
i would have guessed california cuz kinda 'chill', and sf cuz it's old
but it's interesting how efficient these vague associations can be compared to the more deductive methods that failed to unearth my last city upthread
