Colours don't mean anything AFAIK. On another pic, they were all painted blue.

I have no idea myself, but just as a tip for others with more of a clue, I think there is something interesting going on in the background on the right. Looks like maybe a castle ruin or something. Can't really tell behind the foliage, but that might be a way to search for the place (castle ruin near urban soccer pitch, or something like that).
It is a football pitch in front of some apartment blocks. There's indeed not much to look at. Question is, if there's nothing distinctive there, why would I think you could still find the answer?

Here's the next one. Same place, two different directions.

Plenty of clues, but can't seem to put them together convincingly.
I think it's a river delta / wetland landscape prone to flooding. Trees seem almost exclusively deciduous. Must be autumn. Suggests the temperate zone. There's a large body of water in one direction (maybe lakes in the other?). Going out on a limb, it looks like the tides must be quite limited, so could be an inland sea rather than an ocean. There's a city there, but apart from the (recreational?) dwellings and jetties on the near side of the river nothing that can be made out with sufficient certainty.
Wild guess. Somewhere along the Black Sea?

Cherson. Was looking for something closer to the coast, but one view fits the one towards the Antonovskiy bridge.

I think the reason for that is that you're looking at the city on the edge of a delta. The delta itself is lower ground and has at least been prone to flooding in the course of centuries if not millennia. If you look closely you can see that several of the river branches of the delta do have some inhabitation right on the river banks. That's because whenever rivers flood, the coarsest sediment is deposited nearest the river. When the land dries up again, the clay and silt dry and compact, but the sand does not, which eventually raises the ground along river banks above its surroundings. Not by much, but enough to keep dry feet most of the time and strong enough to build on.

The colouring may be deceptive in the previous pic. Here's another one

I have tried this on a couple of occasions, but cannot seem to find it.
I've been looking at crators for so long now I'm at the point where I half believe you're trolling us and it's on Mars or something

It's the Emi Koussi caldera. The Emi Koussi is apparently the highest mountain in the Sahara desert.
Loli has it!

"Volcano in the desert" can be deduced from the pic. As it is the most prominent volcano in the most prominent desert, I thought it was sufficiently guessable.
