Guess the City

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!

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.

ah, interesting. seem to be characters that are either not roman (nor Cyrillic) or if they are perhaps with diacritics not usually found in European languages

Could be Vietnamese, Hanoi?

those bare trees make me think it isn't subtropical tho

are those .. american flags? red white and blue at least

Those look like US green highway signs in the first picture and honestly everything about this looks like a desolate NJ Transit station except the wooden slats on the train tracks

this is USA for sure

ah

The shape of the buildings feels like New Jersey but that obelisky thing in the first picture is making me consider Massachusetts.

definitely east coast, mid atlantic-new england

Chicago?

Hartford?

Great team effort, finished off with precision by Yerac. Hartford it is!

nice
