    Nice. Above the dotted line; looks someplace warm.
    Big industrial; but a passenger station top-left; look at those platform awnings. Can't see overhead wires..
    Not enough detail on the cars / trucks to get side-of-road - there's something nice on the vertical road centre frame, but it's just too blurry.
    Houses bottom right look hap-hazard and maybe not even car-able alleys? Implies old and/or poor township.
    No swimming pools, no sports fields.

    Ok, Here's something a little different.... Pick a part of the photo you want a to zoomed in shot of and I will post it for you. I think there are quite a few clues that may be useful here....

    Well, I wasted a couple of hours flying Google earth.

    My take: Third World Country (or backwater of a 2nd tier). The pix look like a Superfund Site or war zone. So I flew over Iraq, followed one line from the west into Baghdad, where it terminated. Googled a map of Irag RRs... no help.

    But: the coloration looks right, as does the small farm plots/etc. Not sure about the terracing in the second view. At any rate, it should be east of whatever river it depends on.

    Else: India or Mongolia or other Chinese province.

    This is the major intersection of what looks to be downtown.
