Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[troutman]

Büsum?

 

[govner1]

Very close. You’re about 275 km too far west. Another hint- this town just celebrated the 800 anniversary of its founding

 

[applescrap]

Rendsburg

Looks beautiful there.

 

[govner1]

Nope. You’re still about 230 km too far west!

 

[beermanpete]

Poel?

 

[govner1]

You’re getting warmer but you’re still about 70km via the autobahn away. Think Hansetag

 

[govner1]

Ok. Last hint. If you cannot identify the city from this, well......

 

[jack13]

Thought all I had to do was find a city in a german-speaking country with an Eis Cafe Milano, but found out there's a sh** ton of them! I'll guess one: Rostock? Kind of looks like it from the map.

 

[govner1]

Bingo! All you had to do was look at the Tourist info sign!
Rostock it is and you’re up!

 

[jack13]

I could zoom and see the upper left, but then couldn't pan over to the sign to see it in detail.

Anyway, here we go:

 

[Boomer]

No clue; but, I'm going with Providence, RI.

I just searched for "trinity and bravo across the street from each other" and got this:

 

[govner1]

I second Providence, RI

 

[jack13]

haha. I didn't even notice that! Just googled for pictures of Providence since it was recently announced that's where Homebrew Con 2019 will be held.

Your turn, Boomer...

 

[govner1]

See rule #4 at the beginning

 

[jack13]

See rule #4 at the beginning

If that was for me, I googled to find my own picture to post, not to help me identify someone else's picture.

 

[Boomer]

See rule #4 at the beginning

I don’t think using Google is cheating, I think using it to search for the image is. I’ll defer since this is obviously a big deal for you.

Awaiting a verdict from the national association of name that skyline judges’ committee prior to posting.

As you may see above, I actually thought the poster was referring to me. But now I'm not sure.

But no matter, as neither of us have broken, or even bent a bit, any of the rules. I think it's just a misunderstanding.

You are definitely up!

For review:

"Ran into the idea for this game on another forum unrelated to brewing and it turned out to be a lot of fun.

The rules are simple:

1. The first person to correctly guess what skyline is posted will post a photo of a skyline that they choose, once the person confirms the guess is correct.

2. There are no limitations on where the city is or the size of the city. There are people from different countries on this forum so it will make it diverse.

3. If nobody can guess for an extended period such as a few days, then the poster can give hints to keep people guessing, or just reveal the answer and let someone else post.

4. This is an honor system here so let's keep it fair and fun for everyone. No cheating by using SEARCH GOOGLE FOR IMAGE or looking at the IMAGE URL, or any other method."

Right, but who violated which rule, and why?

 

[govner1]

My apologies for misinterpretation of the rule. Where’s the next photo? Boomer?

 

[Boomer]

 

[arturo7]

Looks like Palos Verdes and the South Bay.

 

[Boomer]

Looks like Palos Verdes and the South Bay.

Correct.

 

[arturo7]

 

[jack13]

Correct.

Holy sh**!!

 

[jack13]

WTH--Looks like breaking waves but adjacent to a wheat field. Assuming it's Earth: Middle east?

 

[arturo7]

Not the Middle East.

Don't assume anything

 

[Konadog]

Looks like the sun!

 

[Boomer]

Yeah, all I can think is that it's a skyline of the sun.

 

[Marcale]

Enceladus

 

[jack13]

Titan

 

[arturo7]

Tis the sun indeed! In all it's spectrum filtered, hi-def glory. I'm a big fan of the sun.

Yer up Boomer.


just in case anyone wants more sun:

@Konadog got it before me.

 

[arturo7]

@Konadog got it before me.

Oops, you are correct.

Sorry, K-dog. You're up!

 

[Konadog]

Let's try this.

 

[jack13]

cuba

 

[beermanpete]

Guantanamo Bay?

 

[pvpeacock]

Malta

 

[arturo7]

Is it on the Mediterranean?
