Alright Heres the new picture. Since everyone has googled through the world capitals, this isnt a capital city and the key to identify the city is to identify the famous building. Havu fun!

The fact that there are nice views doesnt mean there arent bad ones too.

Where was this taken? It aint Murmansk!

Who the **** cares anyway, you got nice looking slums too. Every big city has them. The point was that Soviets made whole cities like this.

Easy now.

My guess for the picture that matters is Savannah.

We're not looking at the whole city. Large squat apartment buildings in the distance with fishing trawlers. How distinctive! I can show you views of Sodermalm (which is hardley a slum) from the south that are identical (except there is some trees). If you want the same view without the trees I'll show you Goteborg. Even small towns like Motala built the same style buildings during the 70's (that can be seen from Vetten towering above the old houses). So keep your BS to yourself.

The photo is Angered BTW (ouside Goteborg).

Not yet. It looks to be a large city. Not north america. The absence of a seawall suggests not on an ocean so I'm guessing the med. France, Italy, or Israel maybe but I still havent found the building.

OK not Israel and I forgot Spain. Its likely to be a museum rather than an office.

EDIT I'm ruling out barcelona. IIRC this place is too flat.

What is special about St. Niklaas? I just found it on the map, but I never heard of it before.

Can't believe I came that close with Antwerp, it was just a guess based on the buildings and general atmosphere of the picture (and the hint of course).
