This pic has been shot in the city port.

The Metropolitain population is a little bit more than 3 500 000 inhabitants

That's very nice but doesn't say a bluddy thing yet :o

Part of the world....

Froggy has gone offline, but since I am dead certain (My father's company had an office in Place Ville Marie - the "plus" shaped building with the glass room on top) I'm going to post the next image.

No mercy this time.

It is the biggest city in Froggy's home province..... Montreal.

It is; the only city I didn't look into yet and also explains the old European buildings along the harbor side.

Mexico ?

Not Mexico....

I'll show a little mercy, and eliminate a lot of land mass.

It IS in the southern hemisphere.

Indeed....you showed no mercy this time :D and it was a tough one...BUT

I got it and even found your photo:

It's the city Joao Pessoa with the smaller Tambau on the coast.

The airstrip is called the Joao Pessoa Aeroclube

Quite a big city actually with 675.000 inhabitants and I have to admit I never heard of it before...but.....it must be fun:

look at all the boats and water-airplane -left- :o

Congratulations LaoPo- nicely done! I'm sorry for not checking back sooner to confirm your victory!

It does indeed look like an interesting place! A bit of Joao Pessoa trivia... it is the easternmost point in the Americas!

It wasn't that easy LaoPo. The traffic was driving on the left so that excluded a lot of places including virtually all of the Americas. The large colonial style city hall type building suggested many places such as Malaysia, Singapore, S. Africa, etc. I looked at most of them before getting to Kenya. It was a matter of elimination. :D

Amalfi - Italy ?

LaoPo

One of my very favourite parts of the world! :D

But, not in Italy.

I know Croc....

I was just teasing you to see if you knew where Amalfi was... :D

It's Bonifacio on the south coast of Corse/Corsica/France.

Built on limestone cliffs/rocks.

edit:

I suppose it's a free ticket now to post images from villages/cities with less than 3.000 people (Bonifacio) ?

I think that happened when someone posted a pic of a trench somewere near a little village in England. :D

At least I always post images of the town itself, not a statue or individual building. I think I'll have to start making them a lot harder. :D

Anyway, this place had a scenic value I wanted to share with other players, and I for one, learnt a lot more about an Island I was fairly ignorant about previously. :D

I agree Croc; we all learned a lot with this game. I learned about places I didn't know they existed. Searching for places brings you around the world and increases your knowledge considerably.

However, I feel sorry there are just a few players and I wonder if it is 'non-interest' or that other members are 'afraid' for playing along....? :o

Or, maybe they know everything already....

      Gulf of America.

      Only for US viewers, in the ROW, its reduced to the bit in brackets, an after thought. The President is now banning press agencies from the White House who have an editorial policy that he doesn't like. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-ap-reporter-ban-b2696578.html So much for Freedom of Speech. This is the sort of thing the Wahabi Extremists (the same extremists who inspired 911) in Saudi Arabia did, when they got the US Navy to kowtow to them, and started calling the Persian Gulf the Arabian Gulf. Trumpf missed a trick not naming it after himsef. People could have thought of him while they took a slash into it.

      Are you ready for love?

      Dear Folks, This evening is the end of the Chinese Lunar New Year celebration. And, there will not be another one like this one... Until...maybe...if we are lucky....2026. Therefore: Don't let time pass you by. And, as yourselves: ARE YOU READY FOR LOVE????? Obviously, the three important questions posed in this Topic are: a. ARE YOU READY FOR LOVE, with all that this might entail? b. What do you think about BAD COMPANY? Is Bad Company a fantastic band that received not enough recognition in recent years? c. When you are ready for love: Do you prefer BAD COMPANY, over good company, most of the time? This guy is ......smokin' and.... HOT! Is this right? Best regards, Gamma Note: Happy New Year Are you ready? I am...... Bell-Bottoms.....really drive me.... INSANE....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Thai PM Faces Scrutiny Over Thaksin Influence Allegations

      Thailand' s Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, center, arrives at Government House for the cabinet meeting in Bangkok, Thailand, Tuesday, Feb. 4, 2025. (AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit) //File photo. Thailand's political stage is set for another showdown as Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra prepares to tackle allegations involving her father, former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, in an upcoming no-confidence debate. With the opposition poised to file the motion by 27th February, the debate is expected to shine a spotlight on Thaksin’s alleged behind-the-scenes influence in recent elections, sparking fierce discussions in the parliament and the public alike. Thaksin, a figure who continues to polarise Thai politics, has been accused by critics of wielding undue influence on the current administration. His alleged role in campaign efforts for the Pheu Thai Party has raised eyebrows, fuelling speculation about the extent of his involvement in governmental affairs. Prime Minister Paetongtarn, standing firm amidst the political tempest, has assured the public of her readiness to address these questions, recognising her obligation to dispute any accusations as the nation’s leader. Central to the debate will be allegations of government interference in the Ministry of Justice's handling of Thaksin’s detention arrangements. Thaksin reportedly received preferential treatment during his time at the Police General Hospital’s premium ward, situated on the 14th floor. Pakornwut Udompipatskul, leading the opposition and representing the People's Party, has highlighted this issue as a key point of contention. The opposition, seeking a five-day platform to explore these issues, faces a government advocating for a concise three-day scrutiny. Beyond accusations of personal favouritism, the debate promises to explore the Pheu Thai-led coalition's alleged failures in governance, corruption, partiality towards large business entities, and manipulation of the judicial system for individual gains. These are not new criticisms, yet Pakornwut hints at fresh revelations poised to capture public attention. The motion also directly targets Justice Minister Pol Col Tawee Sodsong, whose comments on the matter have underscored the legal constraints surrounding the disclosure of details currently under investigation by the National Anti-Corruption Commission. With the Anti-Corruption Act in play, any unapproved disclosures during the debate could have legal repercussions, a point Pol Col Tawee is keen to enforce. The Pheu Thai Party has cautioned the opposition against focusing the debate solely on Thaksin, reminding them of potential legal ramifications should they overstep and infringe upon Thaksin's rights, reported Bangkok Post. -- 2025-02-13
