Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[triethylborane]

Adelaide?

Not in Australia

 

[leftcontact]

Ok, so Eurasia. Maybe southern Spain, but not coastal unless it’s behind us - Seville?

I was taking a leak a couple days ago and suddenly realized I hadn't seen anything from this thread for a long time. For some reason when the forum switched platforms I lost all records of it and had to perform some searches to find it.

That's all I have to contribute for now.

Harare?

 

[triethylborane]

Harare?

Yes. Impressive. You been there?

 

[beermanpete]

No, I have never been. I just figured it must be Africa based on the regions eliminated so far and spent too much time looking on the internet at images of various cities.
Here is the next entry for your consideration:

Hong Kong

 

[beermanpete]

Yes. That was fast. Arturo7, you're up.

 

[arturo7]

Hong Kong is pretty easy once you've seen it. A massive city on a thin strip of land between a bay and some big hills.

I'm having some issues with the new format. I'll post a pic as soon as I figure it out.

Were all the user galleries deleted?

All you have to do to post a pic is drag it to the text field. Then the software will ask if you want to post full size or a thumbnail. Thats it.

Dunno about galleries.

Thanks, teb

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

Seems spanish?

 

[MaxStout]

Stuttgart?

 

[arturo7]

No & no

 

[MaxStout]

Hmmm...steep roofs, probably snowy climate. Some hills, small skyscrapers, possibly a medium sized city. Church dome looks German or Eastern European.

Ljubljana?

 

[arturo7]

Solid reasoning, but incorrect result

 

[beermanpete]

Munich?

 

[arturo7]

nicht München

 

[MaxStout]

Linz?

 

[arturo7]

not Linz

too soon for hints

 

[MaxStout]

Graz?

 

[arturo7]

Think bigger.

 

[MaxStout]

Vienna?

 

[arturo7]

Not Vienna.

 

[arturo7]

The pic was taken from a castle. I'd say famous castle, but aren't they all?

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

Prague

 

[MaxStout]

Bratislava?

 

[arturo7]

Prague

We have a winner!!

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

That was a tough one. Once you said castle I did a little searching around for castles near vineyards and Prague looked similar. Nice challenge. And thanks to MaxStout for narrowing it down a bit. I'll post one in a min.

[MaxStout]

Waterton Lakes Nat'l Park?

 

[orionol73]

Banff!

 

[MaxStout]

Jasper?

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

Banff!

Banff it is. The green water was the distinguishing characteristic here.

BTW, love the avatar sailing toward the Mac.

[arturo7]

Great, someplace warm!

hanauma bay

 

[orionol73]

hanauma bay

Bingo!

 

[triethylborane]

Bingo!

One of my favorite dives is a drift from lanai lookout to hanauma bay, tests the hell out of single tank air consumption, but often dolphins and whales cruise the route
