Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[bruce_the_loon]

I knew of course there's a long coast line in SA but looking at google maps makes it really shows how big it is. Lots of it places this can be but if I try to narrow it down to not just a beach but a place of interest and between Mossel Bay and Jeffreys Bay.... what about Robberg Nature Reserve?

Ding-ding. @schmurf has it. Tiny beach on the Robberg Nature Reserve called the Robberg Gap, about a 2km hike in although the route is well constructed.

You're up.

 

[schmurf]

Right, this is the worst part of this game... coming up with a picture. I'm sure not many know this one but it's probably googleable ..

 

[Pkrd]

Sweden?

 

[schmurf]

It is... but I want it more precise

 

[D.B.Moody]

Gullholmes Island, Orust Municipality, Sweden

 

[schmurf]

Correct, @D.B.Moody you're up!

 

[D.B.Moody]

Another island. This is from 1985:

 

[Brew_Dude41]

This guy!
Alcatraz Island.

 

[D.B.Moody]

Not The Rock.

 

[Brew_Dude41]

Yeah, looking more closely I can that is not the rock.
I am doubtful this right either, but is it Ford Island in Hawaii. More commonly referred to as Pearl Harbor?

 

[D.B.Moody]

Not Ford Island; not Hawaii.

 

[govner1]

Puerto Rico

 

[D.B.Moody]

SI, Puerto Rico. You're up @govner1.

 

[tracer bullet]

SI, Puerto Rico. You're up @govner1.

Ahh but PR is a big place, where? I'm actually curious to know.

My guess is old San Juan. But I'm not trying to be up next, again just curious.

 

[govner1]

I believe it's San Cristobal in Old San Juan

Here you go-from a couple of weeks ago.

 

[Brew_Dude41]

Sorry missed the no Google rule, my bad.

My wife's cousin is in the area there. One day we might make it to see that.

It is San Juan, specifically Castillo San Felipe del Morro (AKA El Morro). (Not, @govner1, San Cristobal, the more land side fort.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Netherlands?

 

[govner1]

Cha-Ching! @dbmoody, you’re up!

 

[govner1]

Cha-Ching! @dbmoody, you’re up!

Sorry, brew_dude41 is up. Not Netherlands chesirecat

some how we have overlapping responses

 

[D.B.Moody]

Cha-Ching! @dbmoody, you’re up!

Not me! That was @Brew_Dude41 that answered yours correctly. And it was @Cheshire Cat that posited the Netherlands after correct answer disappeared.
My stuff about El Morro was just a reply to to @tracer bullet.

edit: nevermind

 

[Brew_Dude41]

Sorry, folks had some family matters distracting me for a few days there.

 

[pvpeacock]

Philadelphia?

 

[Brew_Dude41]

Philadelphia?

Sorry not Philly. (Now I want cheesesteak a proper hoagie and some Wawa coffee)

 

[govner1]

Sorry not Philly. (Now I want cheesesteak a proper hoagie and some Wawa coffee)

Yale

 

[D.B.Moody]

Ohio State University with Columbus, Ohio, skyline in background. The answer was just to the left of the picture.

 

[Brew_Dude41]

Apologies to everyone playing at home, I been absent far too long.
@D.B.Moody is correct, THE Ohio State University.

 

[D.B.Moody]

. . . THE Ohio State University.

Well I didn't know about the trademarked "THE" there. Here's another, and, just so you know, it's not Kirkwood. From 1993:

 

[pvpeacock]

Philadelphia?

 

[D.B.Moody]

Not Philadelphia.

 

[DBhomebrew]

A pedestrian's city. I used to pass by that building on some of my meanderings.

Ahhhh. I've heard of that. Probably in a movie since I've never been there. And that's the boat house for launching their rowing gizmos.

Harvard?

I've been to Cambridge a few times for work, maybe that's why it seems a bit familiar. I don't think I saw it in person though. Hmm. Anyhow, that's my guess.

 

[D.B.Moody]

Harvard, Cambridge, MA, it is. You're up @tracer bullet.

[InspectorJon]

The mountains remind me of the Alps, so does the water color.

 

[tracer bullet]

Agreed, which is sort of why I chose it, but it's not the Alps.

 

[cmac62]

to me it looks farther north than the alps. lapland or somewhere in that area?

 

[tracer bullet]

Wrong direction, and not by a little
