haha yup, but there are distinctive buildings in that photo and a little google fu will help you

It was once occupied by Great Britain and was famous for its precious metal output. All of the large buildings in the photos are "luxury apartments"

Well, I"m out as I gave up and did a Google Image search on the original photo. It gave me the city, even though it didn't match any of the images on the page it linked to.

Great Britian was involved with most of Africa at one time or another. Seems Africa is the greatest producer of precious metals with South Africa the leader. The three capitals of South Africa however (administrative, legislative, and judicial) don't resemble the photo. Hmmm....

Nailed it! You're up. BTW, the 22 dome Church of the Transfiguration is not heated so it serves as a summer church mostly. All made of Scots pine.
