Where in the World (499)

Answer to edition 498

The only remarkable characteristic is that this city appears to be predominantly white buildings. The prominence of white buildings usually indicates somewhere hot as white reflects the heat and keeps buildings cool. The water would indicate it is beside the sea or a large lake.

Those two clues narrow it down a little but then it is a bit of research online if you don’t recognise the city. It is the Colombian port city of Cartagena.

This week’s “Where in the World…” features another city skyline. from this view it is not instantly recognisable but there is a couple of clues which are subtle and camouflaged against other buildings. Good luck.
