It looks as if it could be in California (in winter, since it's fairly green), except that there's something wrong with the concentration of high-rises in relation to the hills, i.e., there should be more suburban-looking areas between the high-rises and the hills.

That's another one of them cities that just looks "South American".

How are you so familiar with what looks South American? I have no concept, unless it's the photogenic famous parts of Rio.

I don't really know. It just has a certain look not unlike the one Fab posted of Santiago, Chile. Maybe it's the sunlight or the landscape or the architecture... Hmmm... Or maybe it's just women's intuition!

Elaine,

Right, it is in south America. I think it is a bit hard to guess which city, so I'll give another clue :

For your's I'd say Vancouver. Even if it seems it could be in a lot of Anglophone countries. I think I recognised it.[/img]

Jolies photos. The first one made me think of Marseille. The third one looks a bit like la Major :

I have an idea. But I'm not too sure. Julian : is your mystery city on the Mediterranean ?

I have the answer. sort of Marseille sister city...

With Marseille (here) it is one of the major mediterranean ports

On doit penser à la même ville fab...

Mais j'sais pas pourquoi, j'avais pensé à Valparaiso au Chili — mais ça n'est pas ça Julian, hein ?

Ci-dessous : Valparaiso.

one clue : the city of Christpher Colombus...

fab · Posted: Tue Nov 28, 2006 10:50 pm Post subject:

Nobody's guessing ? The answer is Genova, Italy !

the port has been tranformed by the famous Italian arquitect Renzo Piano for the 500th of the dicovery of the Americas.

a city famous for holding one of the biggest "old center" of Europe

and close to the "Cinque Terre" region and the charming town of Portofino

Another guess (not so easy) :

Yes, my mystery city was/is Vancouver (props to Fab, Deborah, and Julian!). Fab, your previous city is Caracas. Your new mystery city I'm guessing by the fan palms is somewhere in northern African coast (but it could just as easily be in California). And I could've gotten Genoa.
