I mean New Orleans was the first thing I thought of when I saw those wrought iron minibalconies but I can't convince myself this is someplace that warm

Yeah, no magnolia trees

Wait, is this a Left Hand Traffic country?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 00:44 (five years ago)
I was wondering too... but there are not traffic signs to judge by, and the road equipment could be traveling in either direction
― Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 00:55 (five years ago)
The car braking at the end of the street appears to be LHT.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 01:01 (five years ago)
There's a slow-moving vehicle sign on that steam-roller, which I believe are unique to North America. It looks like Charleston SC or something, something old and Southern

I said Lisbon upthread and I'm pretty sure I've found it? More trees but looks right
― or something, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 01:15 (five years ago)
I say more trees, I mean more foliage. cherry blossom's pic obvs winter
― or something, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 01:17 (five years ago)
Looks right
― scampsite (darraghmac), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 01:19 (five years ago)
Yep, well played.

I wondered if the tall building behind the trees was a church, yet it's flanked on both sides by those barn-colored apartments, which made me pause. But it is indeed a church. Good work!

I've visited a grand total of 12 countries and 3 of them have come up here recently, it can't last

you people

amazing work
― budo jeru, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 03:45 (five years ago)
A tough one - interesting that quite a few people thought it was North America. I did think the Iberian peninsula or possibly South America. The tiles certainly pointed to Portugal but despite having been to Lisbon several times, I forgot there are bits of it that aren't hilly!
― Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 04:03 (five years ago)
Awesome work!
― cherry blossom, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 04:54 (five years ago)
I did start googling 'red building city Lisbon' and similar last night suspecting that the caption 'Work' had a double meaning :)
― nashwan, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 09:25 (five years ago)
Oops, no, no double meaning. Someone assumed that about a previous photo too. There's never a clue in the caption, everything is in the photo only
― cherry blossom, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 09:50 (five years ago)
Nice one
Yeah those [whatever you call the glossy mosaics] look so Lisbonian

check out the 2009 version on Streetview though
― nashwan, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 14:04 (five years ago)
Not there in 2014 either!
― cherry blossom, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 14:08 (five years ago)
This one is going to be relatively easy, i think:

Not Europe, not North America, or South America I don't think. Looks Asian, more specifically subcontinental, judging from the men's dress / skin colour. Couple of yellow taxis too which makes me think India. I'm guessing an Indian megalopolis, Mumbai or Delhi.
― Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 20:34 (five years ago)
Black and yellow curbs could provide the answer
― Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 20:35 (five years ago)
But isn't that an oak tree?
― Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 20:49 (five years ago)
I can confirm that it’s not Mumbai or Delhi.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 20:56 (five years ago)
looks kind of post--soviet to me but what do i know
― lord of the ting tings (map), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 20:58 (five years ago)
actually it might be africa?
― lord of the ting tings (map), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 20:59 (five years ago)
wait no it's definitely antarctica, getting a strong fort mcmurdo vibe
― lord of the ting tings (map), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:00 (five years ago)
Phuket?

agree

The anomalous oak tree is a good spot.
The only clues I will give are that people play cricket there and nobody is super close yet.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:13 (five years ago)
My initial thought was also Delhi but I see thats already been thrown out of court.
― cherry blossom, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:17 (five years ago)
Dhaka?
― Andy the Grasshopper, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:30 (five years ago)
If I say nobody has the country right yet, that will probably make it a lot easier.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:39 (five years ago)
Colombo
― rob, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:52 (five years ago)
Not Sri Lanka.
― Scampo di tutti i Scampi (ShariVari), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:53 (five years ago)
found it! Sharjah, UAE - Rolla Square, to be precise
― Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 21:54 (five years ago)
Correct!

a search for black and yellow curbs in Asia got me this pic: http://geotips.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/srwpd3s.jpgwas expecting Bangladesh or Pakistan, but it turned out to be a UAE construction firm. then checked UAE for cricket-ness, not expecting anything, but yes! tried Abu Dhabi parks first, but then switched to Sharjah, which was also mentioned as a cricket-friendly city, and found a pic of a park that seemed to match.Al Rolla Square, as it happens, is actually named after its banyan trees!
― Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 22:14 (five years ago)
ah thanx, right on the money!

― Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 22:16 (five years ago)
I thought those black and yellow curbs might do the trick!
― Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 9 February 2021 22:32 (five years ago)
yep, I went with your suggestion, seemed like the only way in
― Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 9 February 2021 22:38 (five years ago)
I only just noticed it actually says Sharjah on that pic as well!
