That looks like Kazan with the multi-minareted mosque in the background.

It's not Tehran. As a small clue, in case it doesn't come across that well in the picture resolution, there is water in front of the mountains.

That is a tough one. The mountains and style of the buildings makes me think somewhere like Almaty but idk.
― Bubba H.O.T.A.P.E (ShariVari), Sunday, 4 December 2016 19:58 (nine years ago)

not Almaty, sorry
― never have i been a blue calm sea (collardio gelatinous), Sunday, 4 December 2016 20:04 (nine years ago)
The uniformity of the central block looks more planned than I envisage Almaty. I am leaning towards China.
Does Shijiazhuang have mountains like that?

it's within bragging distance from the remotest "continental pole of inaccessibility" (a term i only learned of today)
― never have i been a blue calm sea (collardio gelatinous), Sunday, 4 December 2016 21:22 (nine years ago)
Inaccessibility? Seems like an outdated term. Airplanes fly and the ocean of air touches every part of the globe terrestrial globe.

great. it took me so long to arrive at that. i circled around the globe mentally like a dog looking for a spot to settle down in. the lack of highways pointed me away from US cities, but then it was the shape of the dark green hills in the background combined with the relatively low-profile sprawl -- vaguely recollected from time I spent there in the murderous eighties -- that zeroed me in.

Paris was my first thought as well, but the layout of the parks seems off. I'm going with Moscow.
