[richard_smith237]

Sorry... Not Colombo...

[LeungKen]

Kandy

[richard_smith237]

No.... For the City, think very recently… Very bad weather…

Dacca, Bangla Desh

ps: IMHO a sport stadium is hardly a 'landmark' but again, IMHO...

Also, this is a very small stadium and as far as I can see, limited to cricket...?

Yes LaoPo. It is Bangladesh's national cricket stadium.... It's probably the only landmark in Dhaka…

(With 186 pages to this game already, I was trying to choose a city that I didn't think had already been done. On the same rationale, Would Wembley stadium, Old Trafford etc be considered a landmark? Airports ?)..

Well, I don't know to be fair; we should ask the Father of this thread 'Neeraram; who wrote, back in 2005:

"All you do is post a photo of a city or a famous landmark in the city."

But, on Google and Google Earth I found some remarkable and interesting landmarks in Dacca although I've never been there and doubt if I will ever....

Will post a new one in a moment...

Cruise ship tied up at dock. Passenger transport ferries, cruising catamaran, low colourful buildings, sky. All made me think Carribean. I then googled Carribean town with yellow buildings. Voila!

What's this city.

[Old Croc]

Clue: It's a capital.

It's not in Europe, Asia or the Americas.

[Zpete]

could be Suva.

[Old Croc]

Not Suva.

It's in Africa.

[LaoPo]

What's this city.

There's not much to give away Croc.

OK, capital city in Africa (on a lake or ocean ?) but that's it...
