It could also be southern China on the Li River near Guilin. Guilin showed up in AR14, episode 9.

I have the impression that TPTB are aiming towards having all clips in the opening credits be in HD format. That's why I think we have to basically limit identifications to last season or this season, unless we are certain of the location in the clip is from an earlier season.

This is between the boat in the river and the Copenhagen shot




These buildings are in Panama.  They are the same as #21 in Neobie's list.

The twin buildings in Panama are the San Francisco Bay - Torre 100 with 35 floors each.



Observing that it is a twin set of buildings very close together, and since it is not the tallest building in the city, and not the most well received construction, I suspect that that it has been selected to be a high wire task  :ascared for the Teams to cross from one building over to the other.

I've been staring at this shot for a while and finally I see it:  Not a tight rope between them

Rappel ropes are in place hanging from each building!  :lol:

Could it be another window washing Roadblock like TAR6 in Shanghai?

Ghent is a very historic and interesting place to visit. I would love to go back there.

Any idea of good locations they might have visited? Any locations in particular that struck you as an "amazing race must visit" location?
It's been a few years since I visited Ghent, but here are its main attractions:
1. the rivers Scheldt and Lys, with canalboats running circuits up and down them
2. the view of the medieval architecture from on the river or the opposite bank; these are the Grasslei and Korenlei buildings
3. the universities (it has the largest concentration of university students in Belgium)
4. the Korenmarkt market area
5. eating the special Flemish dish Waterzooi made of freshwater fish or chicken, with carrots, leeks and potatoes, herbs, eggs, cream and butter
6. Gravensteen Castle
7. St. Bavo's Cathedral

This cap (probably Shiva) is near the end of the sequence. I don't remember it, but maybe it's a retread from Varanasi.

Thanks again kiki! You did a beautiful job!

I edited in a few extra angles of some of the shots, and the 2 or 3 left from the end. Great job!

I thought maybe the house BEHIND the statue in # 20 would help us....

#6 it's a relief from Borobudur, I think.

38.5

Could these be tibetan prayer flags? Although the colours are not exactly right.

Here is a picture for comparison.

No, those were all nautical flags, with distinct patterns on each one. These look fairly plain..

I think we have a winner! When comparing the cap to the picture of these Tibetan Buddhist prayer flags, it is now clear that the horizontal lines and symbols you can see are the same ones as in this picture.

Good job kiki! But what does this mean? Could this imply that production took these HD shots in their pre-race location shooting in Nepal, and that Nepal was the leg that was moved?

Unless this is just one of the caps that's been reused from past seasons..

I think that is the only thing they can be. The Tibetan prayer flags are always blue, green, white, yellow, and orange. I don't see many countries those would be besides Nepal and with the already ongoing spec about Nepal it seems logical to assume that is where the shot was taken.
