Maybe the name itself doesn't have anything to do with the word bat or Bats. I was thinking "Batty" as in insane, could just be a further description of the mythical man. |

Yes we are, about to give up, but might get sucked back in when you throw in your analysis.  |

Here are the clues I see:
1. Relative absence of any religious architecture, except what looks like an orthodox church.
2. Steep shoreline, not on a coastal plain
3. Nearly all visible buildings look 20th-centuryish.
This would suggest a rapidly growing place in a socialist country, away from the Baltic, but closer to Sweden than Greece, according to one clue (did I misread that clue?).
I've tried Murmansk, but can't find a matching picture.

your first inclination was right...
Quixotic....
1 : foolishly impractical especially in the pursuit of ideals; especially : marked by rash lofty romantic ideas or extravagantly chivalrous action
2 : capricious, unpredictable
— quix·ot·i·cal\ adjective
— quix·ot·i·cal·ly\ adverb |

I guess I don't know your particulars, but most people on these boards would not need a passport to visit |
