What's The City

[The Dan Sai Kid]

This isn't another of your pictures from the 1970s is it?

[Neeranam]

Africa?

[Old Croc]

Africa?

No, nor Europe or Oceania.

No idea when the pic was taken.

[The Dan Sai Kid]

So, it's Asian?

[Old Croc]

Guess so.

It should be easy now, you've got a beach, the ocean, a couple of rivers a stadium and what seems to be an elevated railway, to work with.

[The Dan Sai Kid]

Is it in India?

[The Dan Sai Kid]

Actually, is it Chennai (formerly Madras)?

[Old Croc]

Yes, Chennai.

Well done DSK.

I was just about to go to bed.

[The Dan Sai Kid]

I am kicking myself for not getting that sooner - I was on a pub crawl around Marina Beach a couple of years ago - it was <deleted> expensive!

[The Dan Sai Kid]

Here's another one!

Good luck!!

Riga...

[The Dan Sai Kid]

Right region - wrong town.

Now, I'm kicking myself for not guessing it any sooner. I did think Chennai first, but got confused with the tiny river on the top.

PS: BTW, I was born in Chennai.

[The Dan Sai Kid]

Man, Chennai is one dead town after 10 PM!

[lamphun]

Talinn

[The Dan Sai Kid]

Not a Baltic state.

[davidjtayler]

Helsinki

[lamphun]

It's Bratislava

Here's a new one

[The Dan Sai Kid]

Well done Lamphun.

I like the way that you always wait for confirmation before you post a new one!

Wow!! Judging by the cars in the picture you have succeeded in finding another up-to-date picture in 1972!

[The Dan Sai Kid]

No little clue? Am I warm or sub-zero?

[lamphun]

an oldish city in a latin country

[The Dan Sai Kid]

Pelourinho, Brazil?

[lamphun]

Well that was suspiciously quick, over to you.

[The Dan Sai Kid]

Well that was suspiciously quick, over to you.

What could be suspicious? There is a Brazilian flag to the left and frantic use of wikipedia and google images helped a lot. A big pic like yours can be blown up a lot!

Heres a nice modern pic for you Lamphun!!
