Traditional architecture

cardamon my pic was leh, crimsonhexagon got it right. but sikkim makes sense too.
crimhex, that last picture really has me stumped. hungarian and german(?) flags? southern hemisphere? googling with that (is that allowed?) gives me three places in peru: is it one of Oxapampa, Pozuzo or Villa Rica?

Jibe, Wednesday, 13 November 2013 05:12 (ten years ago) link

Yes.

"Welcome to Pozuzo. The only Austro-German colony in the world"

How Borgesian.

an Austro-German enclave in South America? who'd've thought it?

cardamon's looks very British

minaret makes me think Birmingham or something

not cos it's the only mosque in the UK but there's one in the Hagley Road area that's v. similar i think

Yeah if that's not Britain I'll be amazed (and I'd be surprised if it was Scotland tbh). Could easily be Leeds - the tower which I'm assuming is a minaret could easily be one of those Italianate Victorian jobs just south of the town centre.

Bradford was another thought yes

ogmor is correct

cardamon, Friday, 15 November 2013 02:28 (ten years ago) link

Back end of that car makes me think North America

Paved street so an older city there

So maybe Boston?

Not a clue, really.

cardamon, Friday, 15 November 2013 03:17 (ten years ago) link

Definitely American, probably east coast or Old Northwest. Boston doesn't strike me as a bad guess at all. Maybe Richmond? Charleston?
