    Cool! Buildings in the foreground looked very Mexican, then I remembered the city from some earlier Google Maps sightseeing :)

    Here we go, next one:

    Well, it is just my personal opinion. When placing the photo, I intend to find somewhere around those famous landmarks rather than just a simple street view. This can help people to get impressed by the beauty of the city once the hint is revealed, especially for those who don't live nearby but are interested. Of course we will never make it that easy by posting full vision of a structure. But can it be a nice try if we give only a corner or the backyard?

    Yeah, take a look at right corner in my Hiroshima picture, that's the Genbaku Dome (A-bomb dome). The first nuclear bomb in Japan hit somewhere right next to it, but despite wiping out the whole city the structure still stood. It's a pretty famous landmark from this city. I realize however, that the "green mover" tram was a very big give-away :p

    Sorry, I've been really busy this week, and so will be the next one :(
    Well, I chose a random point of the map and this was the closest big city.
