Here’s another city that I took a picture of. Don’t Tineye it unless you are willing to have it spoiled. This should be easier than my first: the city does have distinctive shape, which is only partly concealed by clouds.
I only got one of these so far, and it was the easy one. I suck at this. You just wait til I dig up some vacation photos, then you’ll all be scracthing your heads!
[Spoiler’s] not that big, I don’t think. I’m thinking it’s more likely on the north side of the desert. Doesn’t look like Bamako. I think the vantage point from which the picture is taken is the clue.
If you look at the hi res version of the photo, you can see that there are a couple signs in English. I…really don’t know what the heck I’m looking at. I don’t see anything that looks like a house of worship, which I find I use to help pin things down.
Another pic from my challenge city. This is one I actually took, so it is not TinEye-able, but this should make it easy for the clever Dopers.
I’m not 100% sure, but that’s obviously a Botero, so I’m going to go with Medellin, Columbia.

This is what I was talking about when I said that my own pictures made it too easy - they all seemed to contain works by Botero, which are all over the place in Medellin. Good work, sir.
Panurge, you were right the first time, it is Jodhpur. The ‘thing’ in the picture that I thought would help was the distinctive blue shade of some walls and objects. It’s normally much more apparent in photos of Jodhpur, which is known as ‘The Blue City’.
