[+ Tarte Gogo]

Yes Singapore of course, you can recognise the smallish Hsbc building.

This was fun. More like this? I am also a geo nerd.

One more, guys, I cannot recognize this city:

 

 

This picture is from the set of RM pictures of Kelvin_int (which I hope I can meet soon).

looks like the Chicago River downtown Chicago

Ah, yes indeed, I found very similar pictures by googling "Chicago River downtown Chicago".

 

I have never been to Chicago, and didn't know it was that impressive.

This is more difficult, so you need a clue. A world changing event happened here in 1914.

[+ Tarte Gogo]

Hmm, Sarajevo Latin bridge.

 

The clue was too obvious.

[Epigonos]

I don't really have the slightest idea but considering your clue I'm going to make a wild guess. Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia where in 1914 the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria was assassinated which was the spark that ignited WW I

Chicago is incredibly rich architecturally; if you get a chance to go, do so!

Yes! And take a boat tour focused on the architecture of Chicago. Have taken several Chicago boat tours. The last, a couple years ago, was hostessed by the best guide/docent ever.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself! Just kidding, only saying that cause I live there. However, it is probably one of the (if not the) most architecturally diverse cities in the U.S. Of course, burning down to the ground didn't hurt. That way most of the leading U.S. architects got to have a go at it here. And the major architects got to go from brick architecture to modern architecture. As noted above, the boat tours are incredible. And because much of the architecture is downtown you can see a lot on foot. Frank Lloyd Wright is probably the only noted architect that has much of his work in the suburban area. Come, see.

The photo makes the bridge seem more impressive than it is when I visited Sarajevo four years ago. No more clues, @Tarte Gogo.

To my defense, I haven't been in this country for very long. I will visit Chicago at some point.
