Guess the City

good question - other buildings nearby are higher and would be better locations for aerials

construction is going on in the bottom panel of the second window though, maybe these locations are linked

what a peculiar (tower/gate/?) in the bottom right corner

is that a bridge? looks like there's water just next to it

That tower has a South or SE Asian vibe to me.

looks like cyrillic(??) script on the biggest building front center

lots of medium size blocky apartment buildings makes me think eastern europe

how many km across does that lake/river look?

not having any luck with eastern europe cities on a wide river or lake, where else looks like that?

New Rochelle???

oh lol so it is

new york is basically eastern europe, in my defense

There's very clearly a city of some size in the distance— those aren't mountains.

kudos, loaded

what the...? wow

yeah i completely missed the horizon line having city buildings in the 2nd photo

ok, the difference between high and low tides there is only 8 ft (2,4 m), not much needed re: dams/dykes etc

all of my assumptions were wrong based on that alone - I r dum.

New Rochelle it is, interesting what people do and don't notice in a view!

Okay, my turn

Weekend vibe

if that isn't Africa I'm eating my hat (and I don't even have one)

I wouldn't rule out the Caribbean but (sub-Saharan?) Africa seems like a good place to start

Could even be Guyana.

I'm gonna have to buy a hat, aren't I

I consider Guyana to be part of the Caribbean but yeah it needn't be an island

That said, I have no idea where to start with this...Kenya? Mauritius?

I see where you're going with some of those, but for now at least I'm sticking with East-Central Africa (though not with much conviction)

I'm pretty confident it's Africa though - look at this in South Africa (it's not the location of the pic but)

yeah Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Tanzania, all seem possible to me too. I briefly looked at Madagascar for a minute

Kampala does not look un-promising

Mbabane, Eswatini? buildings and terrain look very similar but i have no real landmarks to confirm with

Kampala was making a compelling case, but that type of gate doesn't seem to exist there.

let me know if you want another photo.

I would say yes to that personally

I wouldn't say no either - we're not *really* getting anywhere right now imho

oooooh

so cars drive on the left

(helpful link : https://www.worldstandards.eu/cars/list-of-left-driving-countries/ )

that means all of S and SE Africa is still in play

except for Madagascar

Guyana (and Suriname!) also still in there

if these are google streetview photos (the first one has the watermark) then that further limits the countries in play, theres only a few african countries with coverage

i do still suspect it's in eastern south africa or one of the kingdoms, there's a lot of places in that region that look like that

I'm still liking Kampala for this, but I don't know. That little hill keeps cropping up, but the similar one in Kampala is sort of taller

I did find a house with that gate

Presuming second view is also a street view, its not often they're done at dusk

The road divider things are super distinctive!

My first thought was Ethiopia (although I had no idea where) which logically leads me to Kenya next - through driving on the left.

Road markings v similar to Britain too so I want to say Commonwealth.

found the weird railings I think

got it!
