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.

Boring, Maryland, Friday, 2 October 2020 16:05 (five years ago)

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

here comes the hotstamper (jim in vancouver), Friday, 2 October 2020 20:27 (five years ago)

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

Also, when I opened it in a separate window, that was the window's title.

nickn, Friday, 2 October 2020 22:10 (five years ago)

ah right, noted thanx.

Bamako?

Alternative Ulsterbus, Saturday, 3 October 2020 02:05 (five years ago)

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.

好 now 烧烤 (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Saturday, 3 October 2020 10:49 (five years ago)

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 Bolívar?

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.

ok yeah very strong spanish/portuguese colonial vibe

Doctor Casino, Sunday, 4 October 2020 22:02 (five years ago)

Belem?

Cienfuegos, Cuba

nate woolls, Monday, 5 October 2020 00:25 (five years ago)

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.

brain (krakow), Monday, 5 October 2020 09:40 (five years ago)

I just googled "grey building with red dome" and it was the 4th image result

nate woolls, Monday, 5 October 2020 09:55 (five years ago)

Ha. I guess it is striking, but that's impressive.

The second image is a view of Parque José Martí and I believe the "grey building with red dome" in question is the Palacio de Gobierno, the regional government headquarters.

brain (krakow), Monday, 5 October 2020 10:12 (five years ago)

The yellow building with balcony looks Portuguese or former Portuguese colony to me

Zelda Zonk, Monday, 5 October 2020 11:39 (five years ago)

Croatian maybe

here we go, ten in a rona (onimo), Monday, 5 October 2020 12:46 (five years ago)

gut instinct is Poland but I think that's just the weather

thomasintrouble, Monday, 5 October 2020 12:48 (five years ago)

I get mountain resort vibes but, like the above, that may be the weather

or something, Monday, 5 October 2020 12:50 (five years ago)

yeah my mind went Russia, weather certainly a factor

Doctor Casino, Monday, 5 October 2020 12:52 (five years ago)

vilnius? istr it looking a bit like that

Jibe, Monday, 5 October 2020 12:59 (five years ago)

you are very close Jibe

Two Meter Peter (Ste), Monday, 5 October 2020 13:08 (five years ago)

(that should give it away)

Two Meter Peter (Ste), Monday, 5 October 2020 13:08 (five years ago)

Kaunas then

here we go, ten in a rona (onimo), Monday, 5 October 2020 13:13 (five years ago)

Christmas Town

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 23 December 2020 15:10 (five years ago)

Looks Netherlandsish

or something, Wednesday, 23 December 2020 16:05 (five years ago)

yeah, so so so flat.

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 23 December 2020 16:23 (five years ago)

Does remind me of a timelapse video I saw a few months back of a boat (camera tethered above) journey from Rotterdam to Amsterdam

nashwan, Wednesday, 23 December 2020 16:27 (five years ago)

yep, it is Rotterdam, not Noordereiland, my first thought, but Eiland van Feijenoord, just around the corner from it.

obsessed with quality over quantity or the need to produce tracks (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 23 December 2020 17:08 (five years ago)

Yes, Rotterdam it is, fairly easy one!

Boxing Day City (different angle)

cherry blossom, Sunday, 27 December 2020 12:54 (five years ago)

I have no idea but I love the white-yellow-red color scheme on that skyscraper in the foreground of pic two

Guayaquil (eephus!), Sunday, 27 December 2020 18:31 (five years ago)

ottowa?

ffolkes (map), Sunday, 27 December 2020 21:00 (five years ago)

Yeah, I'm right stumped, though somewhere in Canada does seem a correct guess.
