sorry I keep going on about this but it's hilarious
"The first home built in White Oak Flats / Gatlinburg around 1802. It has been moved three times to allow for expansion of schools and the constant changes of the demands of tourism and now hopefully permanently located at the Gatlinburg Visitor Center at the junction of Hwy's 321/441."

Does anyone know what kind of sport is played on that court in the right-hand side? Doesn't look like tennis (no net) or basketball (no hoop).

buildings and tv aerials look extremely british to me. but the amount of trees outside the town (an entire hill!) seems wrong for the UK.

I think the only bit of Britain where cities could look remotely like that would be South Wales

It just looked like the Welsh valleys, I went out with a girl from Aberdare and have family friends from Llantwit Fardre so I'm reasonably familiar with the area. The cities are a bit far out of the valleys to look like that and I know cherry blossom has played fast and loose with the definition before so I started gising the towns. The beige and blue flats were in the 2nd image for Pontypridd. The train station must be just out of shot

The train station is in shot, but behind the shed

Tin City Alaska has a population of 0 and thats a city it even says so in the name. And if Tin City is a city then Pontypridd must be one too

manilla looks too built up for that picture.
is it the decommisioned Rio cable cars? they look similar in shape and colour. no idea about the vie though.

I think I have significantly underestimated how far away Caracas is from the water.

so we're on a mountain, the sun is setting behind us = the city is to the east of the mountain and further away there's this very big white fortification type thing with a mountain/hill inside of it? Intriguing and no idea.

There sure are a lot of cities with cable cars in the world.
This is quite a good article on the subject, though no help in the matter at hand: https://howwegettonext.com/cable-cars-are-changing-the-world-61f2b803c129

Theyβre very common as transport in mountainous cities, but mostly inland, which makes me wonder whether this could be a tourist one.

That white fortification/palace/building complex in the distance must be something famous, no? Why can't I find anything about it

It was one of those articles about funiculars that made me think it could be Hong Kong...looks like the terrain and whatnot is very similar to the Ngong Ping 360.

it could be Korea? Seoul's cityscape is similar, but it's not big enough for there, so... Daegu perhaps?

feels like the port on the left is too big to be that far inland, but SK does have a lot of cities near the sea, good idea

It does seem like there are at least a few South Korean cities with cable car installations not unlike the one in the photo.
