I gave ChatGPT my photos and it guessed my location by the stars

This image was taken in Cape Town—almost certainly along Adderley Street or nearby in the CBD.

Here’s how I know:

• Cobra Experience branding: The “Cobra Experience” is a Cape Town-based company offering classic car tours, especially with Shelby Cobra replicas.
• Architecture and palm trees: The tall palm trees lining the road, colonial-style architecture, and sidewalk columns are classic features of central Cape Town.
• Traffic and pedestrians: The mix of tourists and locals, visible cars, and bustling urban vibe match central Cape Town streets like Adderley, Long, or Strand Street.

So you’re cruising through the heart of Cape Town in a classic ride—very likely on or just off Adderley Street.

This one is easier to pinpoint!

The mountain in the background is Lion’s Head, one of South Africa’s most iconic landmarks. The road in the image, with its curving design and mountain views, appears to be part of Victoria Road—a coastal drive between Camps Bay and Sea Point, which wraps around the Twelve Apostles and Lion’s Head.

• Distinctive Cape flora on the side of the road.
• The curvature and structure of the coastal road are consistent with drives along the Atlantic Seaboard.

So, this photo was taken likely along Victoria Road, heading toward the city with Lion’s Head in view.

This nighttime cityscape photo has strong visual cues suggesting it was taken in Nairobi, Kenya.

Here’s what gives it away:

• Architecture: The mix of concrete low-rise buildings with flat or corrugated roofs, water tanks on rooftops, and barred windows is common in East African cities—especially Nairobi.
• Skyline & lighting: In the background, you can see distant high-rises and city lights consistent with central Nairobi, possibly taken from a rooftop or high balcony.
• Vegetation: That small tropical plant in the bottom right and the visible tree canopy reflect the equatorial, urban-garden balance of Nairobi’s built environment.

Unless you’re in another major African city with similar features (like Kampala or Dar es Salaam), this looks most likely to be Nairobi at night—possibly River Road, Tom Mboya Street.

This photo was taken in Armenia, likely in Yerevan or another urban market/tourist spot.

Here’s how we can tell:

• The sign shows Armenian script alongside English: “Pomegranate – Նուռ” (transliterated as Noor) with a price of “2000”—likely Armenian drams (֏).
• Pomegranates are a national symbol of Armenia, deeply rooted in culture, mythology, and cuisine. They’re sold widely, especially in autumn and early winter.
• The setting looks like a street market stall or small café strip, possibly in a semi-open food court or night market area—suggestive of areas like Vernissage Market, Swan Lake food stalls, or the Kond pedestrian zone in Yerevan.

So, you’re likely near a popular walking market or downtown food strip in Yerevan, enjoying the vivid street life and seasonal fruit.

This photo looks like it was taken in the Namib Desert, possibly along the Skeleton Coast or between Swakopmund and Walvis Bay, Namibia.

Here’s why:

• The stark, lunar landscape—dry, rocky, scattered with boulders and sand—is iconic of Namibia’s coastal and inland desert terrain.
• There’s a vehicle in the distance, likely part of a guided off-road or 4×4 adventure, which is common for tourists exploring the region.
• The reddish-pink tint on your face suggests late afternoon or early evening desert sun—classic golden hour in the Namib.
• The arid hills and sandy stone combo is not typical of inland South African terrain but fits perfectly with Namibia’s west coast.

Unless you tell me otherwise, I’d say you were likely on a road trip or guided desert experience in Namibia, somewhere along the Skeleton Coast or Dorob National Park region.

This photo was most likely taken in Limpopo Province, specifically in or near the Waterberg region.

Here’s why:

• The rolling, flat-topped mountains in the distance are characteristic of the Waterberg Biosphere, known for its mesas and dramatic escarpments.
• The vegetation—a mix of savanna bushveld and woodland—is typical of the Limpopo lowveld and highveld interface.
• The lighting and thick clouds suggest a late morning or early afternoon during the warm season, likely summer or early autumn.

This landscape is common in areas near Vaalwater, Modimolle, or Welgevonden Reserve—popular for wildlife, private game farms, and secluded lodges.

Would you like a poetic or wanderlust-inspired caption for this view? It’s got major “where the wild still breathes” energy.

This photo was taken at the harbour wall in Mossel Bay, South Africa.

Here’s how I know:

• The distinct red-and-white lighthouse beacon at the end of the breakwater is a recognizable feature of the Mossel Bay harbour entrance.
• The curving coastline to the left, with the hills and distant high-rise buildings, matches the layout of Mossel Bay looking toward the Dana Bay direction.
• The choppy water and concrete pier with mooring chains is consistent with the breakwater used by both tourists and local fishers.

This is a popular spot for locals and visitors to take photos—it combines scenic views with a rugged, working-harbour vibe.

This wide, dry, mountainous landscape almost certainly places you somewhere in central Armenia—most likely along the route between Garni, Geghard, and Lake Sevan.

Here’s why:

• The golden-brown grassy hills and winding dirt paths are iconic of the Aragatsotn or Kotayk provinces during late summer or early autumn.
• The mountain ridges in the background and the deep open valley layout resemble the high-altitude routes east of Yerevan.

It could easily be the road heading up from the Garni Gorge toward Geghard Monastery or across toward the mountain passes leading to Sevanavank or the outskirts of Vardenis.

Were heading up from Garni/Geghard area via scenic backroads?

This photo was taken at Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar.

Here’s how we know:

• The aircraft is clearly a Qatar Airways plane, as seen from the airline’s livery and tail design.
• The gate area architecture, lighting, and luxury café behind the glass (you can see the curved sign saying “Lamazoco Café”) match the distinctive interior of Hamad International Airport (DOH).
• The nighttime visibility, ramp layout, and slick design also support this—Hamad is one of the most modern and recognizable airports in the world.

So you were either transiting through or departing from Doha, likely on an international long-haul flight.

This beautiful night sky image is stunning—but unfortunately, pinpointing exact geographic location from stars alone in a basic photo is nearly impossible without advanced tools or reference points.

That said, here’s what I can tell:

• The density and clarity of stars suggest it was taken in a rural or wilderness area with minimal light pollution—likely far from any major city.
• If this was taken during your Waterberg/sky pool trip (as your recent uploads hint), it would make perfect sense: the Waterberg Biosphere is known for its incredible stargazing.
• Some star clusters visible here might include Crux (Southern Cross), which is only visible from the Southern Hemisphere or near the equator.

So while I can’t name an exact pin, this is almost certainly taken from rural southern Africa, likely Limpopo.

This looks like it was taken in Armenia, specifically in or near the Garni Gorge, just outside Yerevan.

Here’s why:

• The distinct vertical rock formations and dramatic gorge walls in the background resemble the “Symphony of Stones”, a well-known natural feature in the Garni Gorge. It’s made of basalt columns and surrounded by semi-arid hills and scattered greenery—matching your photo’s terrain.
• The green railing you’re leaning against is common at the Garni Temple viewpoint or nearby trails leading into the gorge.
• The landscape—dry, rugged slopes interspersed with small green areas—is typical of this region in summer or early autumn.

So, unless it’s a lookalike elsewhere, I’d confidently say this photo was taken in Garni Gorge, Armenia, likely from a viewing platform near the Garni Temple.

This image looks like it was taken somewhere in Limpopo Province, South Africa, likely along a rural tar road near a farming region or small town.

Here’s what stands out:

• The flat road with a red-soil verge and palm trees lining the side strongly suggest a lowveld agricultural zone, typical of places like Tzaneen, Louis Trichardt, Giyani, or Musina.
• The cloud-heavy sky and expansive, open feel are typical of pre-storm summer afternoons in tropical/subtropical parts of Limpopo.
• The mix of manicured greenery on one side and bushy vegetation on the other suggests this might be a road passing through farmland, a nursery, or near a lodge.

So, while I can’t give a precise GPS pin, this scene looks like it was taken somewhere between a farming area and a town in Limpopo, possibly near a tropical fruit belt or resort area.
