They are in two very separate cities, and not the same exact city. I prefer to not give away exact location and keep it a secret for now. What is your educated guess about specific area of the world those buildings are in? You might say the right location.

Those photos show up in larger visual images on my Flickr site, and I am making major edits on my Flickr soon.

Woah, how have you figured that out, and know exactly where I am taking those photos, including exact area on Google Maps? That is such a mystery to me right now. It’s not like you can read people’s minds.

Upper West Side New York City in 72nd street Verdi Square kind of looks like and resembles areas of Paris France. Some people might have thought those photos are taken in Paris instead of New York City.

Yeah, last photo is in Bucharest Romania. Some people might expect those buildings in cities like Prague Czech Republic instead of Romania.

Lol sorry for that.

I knew the stone-brick buildings were on Broadway in the upper west side, along with those:
https://maps.google.fr/maps?q=upper+...2.58,,0,-28.35

Indeed, they could be from Paris, that is if they were half as tall. I suspect Buenos Aires has closer matches, as it has a lot of Parisian-like midrises. I knew the last was from Bucharest but not where exactly so just googled "old new building Bucharest".

These ones always cheer me up. They are not spectacular, but simple and beautiful:
