Actually taken from a little south of Huaraz. Lights are in the old town.
Guess the Location!
BUMP!

the answer was correct
Hi, which answer? I don't see a 'winner' tag or a response saying who got it (preferably quoting the winner).

Wasn’t me. I had no idea where that was. Way to obscure for me to spend time searching... didn’t look like any place I’d particularly want to put on my travel bucket list either.
Just my preference, but I enjoy the posts that show something to do with history, or a spot that offers a terrific landscape photo op, or a particularly beautiful bay, inlet or other point of interest, an historical landmark... I dunno... jmho, but I love posts here that give some potential future travel ops, while offering me the opportunity to learn a little bit about the location of the posted photo.
If we get too obscure in this thread, and I’m not referring to this most recent post (I’m not) then I think we’ll lose potential location guessers. Truly, I’ve probably posted a couple of so what images myself here but it’s the ones that elicit a “wow, I’ve just got to find out where that is” thought that get me deep diving into the search routine. That and trying to beat @stagor to the punch

OK, I went back over the posts. There was no one post that got it all. archaeopteryx identified the main peaks (except one) and in another post mentioned north of Huaraz which was close enough for me. Actually taken from a house in new Huaraz.
I kinda dropped the ball on checking a winner icon.
FWIW Huaraz and the Cordillera Blanca is perhaps the most popular mountaineering center in the Andes and is on many bucket lists. The scenery is breathtaking. Recommended for anyone interested in that sort of thing.

@archaeopteryx, do you want to post a new location?

Work has been way too crazy for me to have had time to look. Maybe over the weekend but I would recommend anyone who's inclined to post a location to do so.
Sure there is.
I'd suggest however that, as Huaraz had a population of 118,000 in 2017, it's not a village.
Open to anyone...
Found it on alamy stock photo by looking for JokkMokk weather vane... but no lead as to where it is exactly. I suspect somewhere in Sweden?
How about North Cape, Mageroya Island, Norway... looks cold!!
No, not Sweden.
Yes, NordKapp, Norway.
You posted your winning answer as I tried to answer your first post!
Was it too easy?
It wasn't cold when I was there in June (maybe 10 to 15 degrees Celsius), but it was cloudy and windy. I had intended to catch the midnight sun coming from the north, but it was raining and cloudy so I gave it up.
Gives me a reason to go back and do it.
Over to you @pondball !
How about the Sony Center in Berlin?
It is indeed... one of the first places we visited on a recent trip. Best of all it made picking up the 17.2 all that more worthwhile last year... a great performer at night.
over to you @Aperture Don
The Sony Center is on our bucket list.
