Guess the City

Trujillo for #2? I can't find the streets but the lighting and some of the architecture look right?

Trujillo is definitely close, but not it

No takers for #3 with the tower blocks?

XP - yes, though your hint about Biden helped,

Impressive, as the comment about Biden was actually a red herring. I was just imagining him hiding in that window, it wasn't a location hint!

although maybe subconsciously it was!

Some of the towers are similar in design to ones I saw in Lisbon

Though they had flat roofs

Its not Lisbon! Here's another angle

Guessing Chimbote or (Nuevo Chimbote) for #2. I've googled pretty much every city in Peru and it seems the most likely

Its Chimbote!

I can't quite remember the location of the first Chimbote pic, but it was around here somewhere

is the game to post just pics you've taken yourself?

Not at all Euler. The world is your oyster.

Get one in there Euler!

And have a go at NotLisbon Tower Blocks too

GOD I'm so happy I figured out it was Chimbote

I was confusing which pics were of which city (to be honest). I wouldn't have got Chimbote without other people's guesses of Lima/Trujillo... I was literally googling "fastest growing cities in Peru" just to track down where such commie-looking suburbs might've popped up

Is #3 (not Lisbon) in Turkey?

The minaret suggests "Islamic", it looks too verdant to be Northern Africa, too dry to be India/Bangladesh/Indonesia, too modern to be Middle Eastern, both "new economy" and also "not rich", I actually don't think it's Turkey but think it's a former USSR -stan country

Turkey seems a good bet, Izmir/Smyrna?

It isn't Izmir.

There's some decent coastline/mountain/terrain info in that last photo!

No takers for NotLisbon (or Izmir)?

Here's a new one to go with it, ThursdaySkyline

I've forgotten where ThurdaySkyline is! Going to have to try guess my own city!

first one is Dundee?

rusty tin roofs of the second one is making me think Russia but I'm out of my element

Chelyabinsk?

Dundee YES!
Chelyabinsk NO!

second one Norilsk?

Second one is Norilsk, too iconic to be anywhere else!

Shall I give the answer to NotLisbonOrIzmir? Or leave it to posterity?

I can't give the answer to ThursdaySkyline because I've forgotten where it is. I might try guess it myself later today

guess the city 14/07

it's Batumi, right?

bravo, right off the bat!

this thread never fails

wow, never got even close to any of these, but the single Turkish-type minaret gave me something very concrete to work with: sea port city in a non-muslim country in the Eastern Mediterranean or Black Sea. actually checked and discarded Batumi at first (but of course you wouldn’t pick a photo that displayed the actual city centre) - but when I searched for the minaret-golden onion-shaped dome combination Batumi was the top result, and then that distinctive church tower sealed the deal.

oh, it’s a clock tower turned boutique hotel apparently.

"clock tower turned boutique hotel" I'm sold

very affordable prices!

I want to say Kandahar, other than the colouring is maybe too light. The low rise layout points there though

Kandahar indeed!

https://i.imgur.com/JEAfm6k.jpg

what a place eh?

I thought Kandahar straightaway, then had a quick look at first image that came up

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_Kandahar#/media/File:Aerial_view_of_a_section_of_Kandahar_in_2013.jpg

but both of these look darker and not as sandy as yours so I wasn't 100 on it but thought it close to enough!

31st July curved road

I will say: is it in Asia? just to get the ball rolling

31st is in Asia, and 27th isn't!

oh yeah, I meant the 31st, sorry. East Asia, no? (but that will probably all from me)

not a clue.

ominous looking and disused Eastern European train station?

I'm struck by how it's all very clean, with no litter or visible graffiti.

There's some characters/a logo on the modern building in the background on the right hand side of the last photo, but I'm not sure what to make of them - are they Japanese maybe?

Definitely wondering about Asia, but struggling to guess a country even.

In the first photo there's a motorway-esque road in the background with green gantry signs, if anyone knows which countries use that colour for those.

There also looks like what could be two flags on the right in front of the road, but sadly no wind to display them. Looks like they might be white and red, maybe blue too? My brain keeps filling them in as British flags, but that seems like nonsense.
