Guess the city

[aimar]

So, the basic rules are; I will post a picture of a city (spoilered of course), and the posters have to guess what it is. The first person to guess it (as judged by me, or the picture poster) then gets to post his/her own city picture.

I could make this more interesting by making a score board, but I don't feel like it.

Vienna

[Foxy]

This is hard, the landscape looks middle Eastern but the architecture is somehow European but also islamic at the same time. Uhm... somewhere in Armenia, Georgia or something similar?
Yerevan, Tbilisi?

[aimar]

no, for both of you

[Minesweeper]

Somewhere in Iberia, Andalusia perhaps? Maybe even Sicily.

[aimar]

Somewhere in Iberia, Andalusia perhaps? Maybe even Sicily.

Iberia-yes

[Foxy]

The roofs are clearly mediterranean, but the landscape is so strange! Could be from some periferical part of Europe with a very hot climate and islamic architecture. Uhm... Andalusia? Sevilla? Give us some suggestion!

[Minesweeper]

Segovia. ;)

[Chego]

Gibraltar

[aimar]

No, but it is in the Eastern Europe.

[Foxy]

[Minesweeper]

A little more to the North, to the most mystical place in Europe, and it's not a capital city.

[askra]

That one was solved, Segovia. Now it's time to guess this:

http://oi45.tinypic.com/5p1jrr.jpg

:)

somewhere in Germany, may be Bavaria?!?

[Foxy]

The architectonic style is clearly iberian, the church looks like many spanish or portuguese gothic cathedrals, like the Seville one, plus some baroque in the cupola and bell tower.
In the background there are wheat fields harvested in summer, so it could be located in the middle of Spain or also Portugal.

That one was solved, Segovia. Now it's time to guess this:

Germany but the northern part

I think posting famouse pics like this is not good idea, because evry cheater can use Google Images search or TinEye to find location.And will find answer in 1 sec

I just googled this pic and found answer - i.e city/town name. Best way to fight this cheating is posting unknown/unfamaouse pics that not aviable in google pics search.

There is alot pics of evry town of earth that are not aviable in Google Images.

I guess Gospodine was closest with Russia.

[Gospodine]

Ok, I'll do another. Give me a sec.
