Eastern European looking dudes with palm trees? This one's hard. Is it an album cover from a Gorbachev-era New Wave band?

Definitely looks one of those “Swagger of Oasis…” type band shoot.

Central America? South America? Southern Europe? (thinking there's too much green for that but not sure) - so... no real idea yet

Second picture looks like it could be a plaza in a Latin American city.

First one looks high altitude/mountainous to me

gonna go out on a limb and guess this is Argentina
I thought Arentina wasn't very mountainous & I'm looking around in Chile, kind of
― StanM, Friday, 27 August 2021 18:40 (four years ago)
Argentina has lots of mountains. The street view could plausibly be Mendoza but I don’t recognise it.

I don't know either but you get way cooler images if you search on yandex for "abandoned pier south america" than on google.

abandoned resorts are often an Eastern block thing, but this looks too tropical

That looks like a stadium in the background. I'm getting a Mediterranean vibe from this pic.

Talked myself into thinking this was Malta but couldn't find matches for the images in Valetta at any rate

That's a docked cruise ship back there, right?

Fading resort town with palm trees, but guys in first photo look more East European than Mediterranean, and guys in last photo are well wrapped up as if it's pretty cold. Was initially thinking Argentina, but the buildings don't look that South American. Maybe somewhere on the Black Sea? Sochi or somewhere like that? Don't think it's a docked cruise ship btw, I think it's a building.
― Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 31 August 2021 01:51 (four years ago)
Hmm: "While it is well known to many that lots of palms grow in Sochi, Russia, it is not the only place in the country where palms are found."

Sadly, time does not permit my checking out every resort town on the Black Sea...
― Zelda Zonk, Tuesday, 31 August 2021 04:08 (four years ago)
Black Sea feels good as a guess - buildings shaped like ships on concrete piers are certainly a thing there: for instance https://www.google.be/maps/@42.9962529,41.0214901,3a,75y,356.33h,89.14t/data=!3m8!1e1!3m6!1sAF1QipMv4dL-ZVQX7xicMc03OWV1PnHhdr53JIIS5cso!2e10!3e11!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipMv4dL-ZVQX7xicMc03OWV1PnHhdr53JIIS5cso%3Dw203-h100-k-no-pi-0-ya129.18877-ro-0-fo100!7i8192!8i4096

SO many resorts on that coast though! I feel like I've seen 200 piers and I'm only like 5% of the way

Reading about Sukhumi, apparently the destination for Soviet leaders dachas, now capital of Abkhazia, how much more "abandoned Eastern block resort" can you get than that? Nice choice.
