Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[DuncB]

@D.B.Moody
Yes a lovely beach, they were filming My father the hero on the beach when we were briefly there ( starring Gerard Depardieu and Katherine Heigl ), but we bailed out after a couple of days and went to stay with friends on Green Turtle Cay ( wonderful place ).

 

[InspectorJon]

I'm guessing this should go pretty fast.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Singapore

 

[InspectorJon]

That was really fast. @3 Dawg Night you are up. I found a small brewery in a back street kind of shopping area there a few years ago that made a pretty decent westcoast style IPA.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

The three buildings that look like they're holding up a ship are rather unique. I did have to look up the name: the Marina Bay Sands.

This is not my picture, but this is a spot that the wife an I visited a few months ago. It was quite lovely!

 

[D.B.Moody]

Dungeness Spit Lighthouse, on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington

 

[3 Dawg Night]

There it is. I'm glad @D.B.Moody got it, because I had kind of forgotten about it! The wife and I visited there in February, and it was downright lovely. If you ever find yourself in Sequim, Washington, definitely eat at Nourish. It's just a fantastic restaurant run by folks who love creating a lovely dining experience for their guests. They have a small, but good, craft beer selection as well.

 

[D.B.Moody]

The wife andI visited this place in 1968:

 

[3 Dawg Night]

That's Jackson Square in New Orleans, right?

 

[D.B.Moody]

Yes, I couldn't resist doing New Orleans because of its reputation as a different type of wildlife refuge than Dungeness Spit. You're up @3 Dawg Night.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

I've visited this city several times, most recently in 2010.

 

[Pkrd]

Lima

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Lima it is. I've always enjoyed my visits there.

You're up, @Pkrd.

 

[Pkrd]

Lima it is. I've always enjoyed my visits there.
You're up, @Pkrd.

I got nothing guys so open to the floor.

[beermanpete]

KL Tower, Malaysia

 

[InspectorJon]

Yes, KL, Malaysia.

 

[beermanpete]

Sorry for the slow reply. Here is the next skyline for your amusement.

 

[pvpeacock]

Ventura, California

 

[beermanpete]

Yes, it is Ventura. You're up, @pvpeacock.

 

[pvpeacock]

That was a wild guess from driving through Ventura so many times. While the taller of the two buildings looked familiar, I thought the area should have looked more developed. I guess not from that angle. Great photo.

Here you go:

I think the photo is old. There area is more developed now.

 

[D.B.Moody]

I think the photo is old. There area is more developed now.

It was labeled in the corner "Joe Virnig c2005" If you google that, you get Ventura, mostly real estate stuff. Also "Ventura County Vistas." I found the same photo in the information for Powell Cabinet, Oxnard, CA, labeled "Joe Virnig c2011"

Anyway, I was confused. If you want a good laugh, google "Jay Leno buys Oxnard."

 

[pvpeacock]

Here is another view.

 

[InspectorJon]

Very flat, lots of water around, golf course... is it Florida? Almost no cars in the picture, odd.

 

[pvpeacock]

It is Florida which should narrow it down.

 

[tracer bullet]

Celebration. It is... owned by Disneyworld, or something like that?

 

[pvpeacock]

Bingo!
Celebration, a Disney town.

 

[tracer bullet]

I recognized that canal thing. Never been there, but recognized it from some late night B rated travel show.

Hopefully this one hasn't been done:

 

[D.B.Moody]

I think that's the Guiness bewery. Dublin, Ireland.

 

[tracer bullet]

I think that's the Guiness bewery. Dublin, Ireland.

Indeed. A LOT of beer under those roofs.

 

[D.B.Moody]

We visited Ireland in 2017. Beautiful. And having a properly pulled pint of Guiness in a pub in Ireland is great.
This is another place we visited in 2017:

 

[Northern_Brewer]

The road-train on the right implies it's a place seriously geared to tourists.

I assume we're in the afternoon, so we're looking north.

Looks like a church entrance with saints around the door, but obviously not a church, so some kind of monastery etc?

Architecture feels Spanish at a guess, but could be various places in the Mediterranean.

That feels somewhat at odds with the serious walking sticks centre-right - the Spanish aren't that into recreational hiking, it's far too much like hard work.

With one exception - the Camino de Santiago. So are we somewhere along that? Is that trying to be a scallop above the door?

 

[D.B.Moody]

@Northern_Brewer, you're good. Here's a closer picture of the door, and a scallop in the paving of the square. Just name the city.

 

[duncan.brown]

It's Santiago de Compostela in Spain, I think (a friend moved there a couple of years ago).

 

[D.B.Moody]

Yes, it is.
You're up @duncan.brown.

 

[duncan.brown]

This might be easy...

 

[InspectorJon]

As a building inspector I have to say that looks nice but it is not a good idea. Obviously California, looks like a winery. I'll guess Napa.

 

[D.B.Moody]

Chateau Montelena
Calistoga, CA
in the Napa Valley

 

[duncan.brown]

@D.B.Moody has it, it’s Chateau Montelena in Calistoga.
