XP - yes, though your hint about Biden helped, so I looked for orthodox churches around Scranton.

bougie white woman (doo dah), Sunday, 12 April 2020 22:47 (four years ago) link

that’s impressive doo dah

don't know where that street with blue/tan/white houses is but I like the image

Dan S, Sunday, 12 April 2020 23:12 (four years ago) link

the street is amazing and I'm surprised it's not super easy to find!

thomasintrouble, Monday, 13 April 2020 09:13 (four years ago) link

Trujillo for #2? I can't find the streets but the lighting and some of the architecture look right?

thomasintrouble, Monday, 13 April 2020 10:06 (four years ago) link

Trujillo is definitely close, but not it

No takers for #3 with the tower blocks?

XP - yes, though your hint about Biden helped,

Impressive, as the comment about Biden was actually a red herring. I was just imagining him hiding in that window, it wasn't a location hint!

cherry blossom, Monday, 13 April 2020 11:03 (four years ago) link

although maybe subconsciously it was!

cherry blossom, Monday, 13 April 2020 11:04 (four years ago) link

Some of the towers are similar in design to ones I saw in Lisbon

Non, je ned raggette rien (onimo), Monday, 13 April 2020 11:07 (four years ago) link

Though they had flat roofs

Non, je ned raggette rien (onimo), Monday, 13 April 2020 11:08 (four years ago) link

Its not Lisbon! Here's another angle

Guessing Chimbote or (Nuevo Chimbote) for #2. I've googled pretty much every city in Peru and it seems the most likely

I can't quite remember the location of the first Chimbote pic, but it was around here somewhere

is the game to post just pics you've taken yourself?

Joey Corona (Euler), Monday, 13 April 2020 14:57 (four years ago) link

Not at all Euler. The world is your oyster.

never have i been a blue calm sea (collardio gelatinous), Monday, 13 April 2020 15:24 (four years ago) link

Get one in there Euler!

And have a go at NotLisbon Tower Blocks too

cherry blossom, Monday, 13 April 2020 15:29 (four years ago) link

GOD I'm so happy I figured out it was Chimbote

I was confusing which pics were of which city (to be honest). I wouldn't have got Chimbote without other people's guesses of Lima/Trujillo... I was literally googling "fastest growing cities in Peru" just to track down where such commie-looking suburbs might've popped up

Is #3 (not Lisbon) in Turkey?

we have no stan but to choice (flamboyant goon tie included), Monday, 13 April 2020 21:43 (four years ago) link

The minaret suggests "Islamic", it looks too verdant to be Northern Africa, too dry to be India/Bangladesh/Indonesia, too modern to be Middle Eastern, both "new economy" and also "not rich", I actually don't think it's Turkey but think it's a former USSR -stan country

we have no stan but to choice (flamboyant goon tie included), Monday, 13 April 2020 21:47 (four years ago) link

Turkey seems a good bet, Izmir/Smyrna?

ogmor, Tuesday, 14 April 2020 00:26 (four years ago) link

It isn't Izmir.

There's some decent coastline/mountain/terrain info in that last photo!

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 14 April 2020 09:52 (four years ago) link

No takers for NotLisbon (or Izmir)?

Here's a new one to go with it, ThursdaySkyline

I've forgotten where ThurdaySkyline is! Going to have to try guess my own city!

first one is Dundee?

COVID and the Gang (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 21:41 (three years ago) link

rusty tin roofs of the second one is making me think Russia but I'm out of my element

COVID and the Gang (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 19 May 2020 21:52 (three years ago) link

Chelyabinsk?

ShariVari, Tuesday, 19 May 2020 21:54 (three years ago) link

Dundee YES!
Chelyabinsk NO!

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 20 May 2020 04:57 (three years ago) link

second one Norilsk?

thomasintrouble, Wednesday, 20 May 2020 13:43 (three years ago) link

Second one is Norilsk, too iconic to be anywhere else!

Shall I give the answer to NotLisbonOrIzmir? Or leave it to posterity?

I can't give the answer to ThursdaySkyline because I've forgotten where it is. I might try guess it myself later today

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 14 July 2020 18:32 (three years ago) link

it's Batumi, right?

No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 14 July 2020 19:17 (three years ago) link

bravo, right off the bat!

cherry blossom, Tuesday, 14 July 2020 19:20 (three years ago) link

this thread never fails

Temporary Erogenous Zone (jim in vancouver), Tuesday, 14 July 2020 19:21 (three years ago) link

wow, never got even close to any of these, but the single Turkish-type minaret gave me something very concrete to work with: sea port city in a non-muslim country in the Eastern Mediterranean or Black Sea. actually checked and discarded Batumi at first (but of course you wouldn’t pick a photo that displayed the actual city centre) - but when I searched for the minaret-golden onion-shaped dome combination Batumi was the top result, and then that distinctive church tower sealed the deal.

No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 14 July 2020 19:31 (three years ago) link

oh, it’s a clock tower turned boutique hotel apparently.

No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 14 July 2020 19:43 (three years ago) link

"clock tower turned boutique hotel" I'm sold

all cats are beautiful (silby), Tuesday, 14 July 2020 20:05 (three years ago) link

very affordable prices!

No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Tuesday, 14 July 2020 20:35 (three years ago) link

I want to say Kandahar, other than the colouring is maybe too light. The low rise layout points there though

cherry blossom, Wednesday, 15 July 2020 11:07 (three years ago) link

Kandahar indeed!

rumpy riser (ogmor), Wednesday, 15 July 2020 12:52 (three years ago) link

https://i.imgur.com/JEAfm6k.jpg

what a place eh?

rumpy riser (ogmor), Wednesday, 15 July 2020 12:53 (three years ago) link

I thought Kandahar straightaway, then had a quick look at first image that came up

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_Kandahar#/media/File:Aerial_view_of_a_section_of_Kandahar_in_2013.jpg

but both of these look darker and not as sandy as yours so I wasn't 100 on it but thought it close to enough!

31st July curved road

cherry blossom, Friday, 31 July 2020 22:40 (three years ago) link

I will say: is it in Asia? just to get the ball rolling

No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Saturday, 1 August 2020 09:43 (three years ago) link

31st is in Asia, and 27th isn't!

cherry blossom, Saturday, 1 August 2020 09:48 (three years ago) link

oh yeah, I meant the 31st, sorry. East Asia, no? (but that will probably all from me)
