[pvpeacock]

Hint: That is the Pacific Ocean-- it's a bay.

Tokoname

 

[MaxStout]

Puerto Vallarta?

 

[pvpeacock]

West of the International Date Line, but not Japan.

 

[arturo7]

Macau?

 

[pvpeacock]

Not Macau. It's known as the poor man's Waikiki

 

[MaxStout]

Phuket?

 

[Devin]

Tumon Bay, Guam.

 

[pvpeacock]

Tumon Bay is correct!!!! Devin, you are up.

 

[Devin]

Alright, here is one I took from a trip a couple of years back.

 

[triethylborane]

It's definitely on a bay or an inlet. The water looks quite shallow.

Just found that interesting considering Guam is close to the Mariana Trench (part of the Mariana chain).

 

[pvpeacock]

Tumon Bay has a barrier reef off shore. You can walk hundreds of yards from shore before you get the edge of the reef.

 

[MaxStout]

Berchtesgaden?

 

[jack13]

Reminds me of the view near that highline footbridge near the germany/austria border. Looking at the map I'll say Ehenbichl.

 

[Devin]

Correct country, MaxStout. However, jack13's guess is physically closer.

 

[MaxStout]

Garmisch-Partenkirchen?

 

[Devin]

Getting warmer. Much warmer, actually.

 

[MaxStout]

Oberammergau?

 

[Devin]

That's it! That is the view from the Kofel. Quite a nice hike.

 

[MaxStout]

Good. I was spitballing on these, and running out of German Alpine towns I could remember.

OK, here we go.

 

[Devin]

Duluth?

 

[MaxStout]

Not Duluth.

 

[jack13]

Hartford, CT

 

[MaxStout]

Not Hartford.

It's not near any ocean.

 

[MaxStout]

Looks like this needs a bump.

It's a city along a large lake. It's in North America.

 

[BikerMatt]

Can't find anything to grab onto and start searching with. You either know what that building is (or even have a good hunch/seen it in the telly etc) or you're out completely like me...

 

[pursuit0fhoppiness]

Cleveland?

 

[pursuit0fhoppiness]

Minneapolis?

 

[MaxStout]

Not Cleveland or Minneapolis. It's farther north.

 

[triethylborane]

Rocky shoreline plus tall buildings plus north of Minn, not Duluth, nothing comes to mind. Its not Anchorage or Juneau or Fairbanks bc of lake . . . hmmm tricky one

 

[Devin]

Thunder Bay?

 

[MaxStout]

Not Thunder Bay, but you have the right country.

 

[pursuit0fhoppiness]

Winnipeg?

 

[beermanpete]

Hamilton?

 

[MaxStout]

Not Winnipeg or Hamilton. It's not a big city.

 

[pursuit0fhoppiness]

Kelowna?

 

[MaxStout]

Not Kelowna, though the skyline sort of resembles that.

East of the Rockies. And not on one of the Great Lakes.

 

[pursuit0fhoppiness]

Windsor?

 

[Devin]

East of the Rockies.

Nothing like narrowing it down.....

 

[MaxStout]

Not Windsor.

It's on a large lake. But not one of the Great Lakes.
