Guess the City

Sokhumi!

No! really? LOL

Yeah I was assuming it was more pictures of the same place!

The second-to-last one it's hard to believe isn't actually somebody's album cover, I feel like the Fixx had a reunion this is the cover they'd pick

I don't know if it's all that faded really, seems pretty lively on Instagram

Didn't expect it to be particularly big, but it's a fair bit smaller than Asheville or Kamloops

Looks like it could be the back of a major city train station. Building on the right looks kind of Middle European. Ashtrays on tables are a bit of a rarity these days, maybe somewhere East European?

the chimneys though... factory in a city?

are those chimneys though? thought it may be a tower of some sort behind, hard to judge the scale.

Blue sign seems to hint at LHD?!

It's the train station in Basel

nice one!

Sokhumi!

It's the train station in Basel

How did you get to it? Already knew or something else give it away?

I saw the file names you gave the photos and thought it was a red herring

No red herrings! Clues are only ever in the photos!

I've been to Switzerland a couple of times, not to Basel but it felt Swiss and Zelda Zonk mentioning middle European solidified that thought so I got to image searching Swiss cities' railway stations

Friday

Mediterranean vibe. Some walled city in Andalusia?

Getting a Napoli vibe from the wall but idk.

word on the metal grate bottom left - UNIECO ?

REK (?) graffiti tag

graffiti has a distinctive e/E it it is an E

iF it is

Shape of the tall doorway on left looks distinctive but not sure how to search for that shape.

it's not exactly in there - still looking

it's like a clothes hanger + a shoulder flat arch type of thing, like ? I give up :-(

Marseille

is it though

Doorway doesn't look French to me, although mountain in the background looks similar to the one outside Marseille. Old man with stick is a real generic Mediterranean old geezer, could be French, Spanish, southern Italian... the other people look like tourists, and Marseille isn't really a tourist town

What ARE those square button type things on the wall? Are they painted on? Either way: why?

(... former wall cemetery and those were name plaques? They're too far apart for that) (nevermind, just thinking out loud and having no idea)

Looks quite a bit like Santa Cruz de Tenerife but I can't find any exact matches with that peak although one is very similar

Very distinctive decorative touches to the street lights, although I wouldn't know how to search for that. The wall is intriguing, looks like there are modern buildings directly behind it so it's not like it's encircling a cemetery or castle or whatever. And it doesn't quite look like a city wall either.

Very distinctive street light poles. Also weird to see electrical wires strung light pole to light pole on left side of the picture.

This should be gettable but I'm not getting it. Best I can come up with is that it feels Mediterranean, but doesn't feel French, my gut feeling is somewhere Spanish

The black car and the reddish one driving away from the camera are both French (Peugeot 307 and Renault Teepee, around mid-2000s), but of course these cars are popular eveywhere in Europe. The car driving towards the camera is a VW Polo (2010ish), which isn't any help at all.

Newcastle-on-Tyne

Those streetlights look suspiciously British, could it be Gibraltar?

I don't think I can find an angle of the rock of Gibraltar that looks like that - guessing no to that one. Santa Cruz (Tenerife) looked better but couldn't find a ridge shaped quite like these pics either.

I was wondering about Melilla or Ceuta, but again can't find an exact counterpart for the mountainous background

With French cars could it be Algeria?

I have no idea really but that sky is certainly (west?) African in its depth and intensity.

It isn't Oran or Constantine, the streetlights are different.

These car plates look European to me

The huge mountain at the end of a flat urban road is quite distinctive, I looked at a few places in Italy near mountains but they all had extensive foothills where the roads petered out into farm tracks & vineyards.

I feel like if I could just read what's on the green billboard in the last picture everything would be revealed

Just as I suspected, cherry blossom has done that thing were guessing the city on the guess the city thread isn't enough

But I was right three days ago and have finally found the spot in Santa Cruz de Tenerife

17 Puente Galcerán

I was going to mention that the big palm on the left is a Canary Island date palm, but those are commonly grown elsewhere too (I have one in my back yard).
