Actually the domed towers on that cathedral seem to me more Spanish or Portuguese. But the rest of the pic certainly doesn't scream Spanish/Portuguese... There's what looks like a village in the top right hand corner, all slate-roofed, again making it feel more Northern European.

The combo of the roofs and the church gives me Central Europe vibes, Czechoslovakia?

Having lived in Nantes, this looked really familiar to me. That looks like the Loire.

With the first image north end of the Pont Napoleon.

Or actually, from the Ile Simon that the Pont Napoleon passes over.

Oui exactement. Tower in the first pic just looks like a 70s block with a weird pitched roof added to match surrounding buildings.

got it from the photo credit in the corner which is probably cheating
― neith moon (ledge), Friday, 2 October 2020 11:07 (five years ago)
Ah, blast, I missed that! I had even stripped the gps data from the exif. Edited now to remove the credit. Not my photo btw - apologies to the photographer for nabbing the image for entertainment purposes.

Thanks for the tip off and not revealing the answer ledge. I'm sure someone will get it in the more traditional manner before too long.

ste, for future reference a lot of us browse ilx with images turned off so this just displays like this with the whole url

It's not Colombo and it's not in India. Does indeed look dope though and I hope to go there at some point.

Bamako?

Or maybe I'm just interested in the way the Niger river flows to the desert.
― Alternative Ulsterbus, Saturday, 3 October 2020 02:22 (five years ago)
Not Bamako.
A couple of the guesses more so than the other, but you're all very far away thus far.
― brain (krakow), Saturday, 3 October 2020 10:25 (five years ago)
building in the bottom right is the thing to look at here, I think. Architecture looks maybe Turkish, or central Asian, though the plants look more tropical.

Suspect its provincial Indonesia, but I've yet to find a match.
― Sanpaku, Saturday, 3 October 2020 18:00 (five years ago)
managua ?
― budo jeru, Saturday, 3 October 2020 23:55 (five years ago)
Indonesia is very far away.
It's been a few days now, so I'll say that it's not Managua, but that is much closer than other guesses so far.
― brain (krakow), Sunday, 4 October 2020 11:13 (five years ago)
Paramaribo?
― 好 now 烧烤 (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 4 October 2020 11:22 (five years ago)
Ciudad BolÃvar?
― or something, Sunday, 4 October 2020 11:24 (five years ago)
Actually looks quite like Georgetown, low buildings and lots of trees there.
― 好 now 烧烤 (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Sunday, 4 October 2020 11:27 (five years ago)
It's remarkable how newer residential / small business architecture has converged to a single style throughout the middle income tropics. Before cinder blocks, rust painted galvanized steel roofing, and rooftop tanks for water, it would have been possible to narrow down to a region just from foreground structures.
― Sanpaku, Sunday, 4 October 2020 14:43 (five years ago)
These newer ones are all good guesses, but not right. I'll try to find an additional non-revealing photo tonight.
― brain (krakow), Sunday, 4 October 2020 15:46 (five years ago)
A bit closer in, so maybe this will give it away.

Cienfuegos, Cuba

Yes! You've got it nate woolls, it is Cienfuegos.
I was meant to be going there next spring, but not now, for obvious reasons.
