Name That Skyline - Picture Game

I'll give you a little hint... right now that part of the country wouldn't be my first choice for a vacation.

 

Houston

 

Close enough. Its a suburb of Houston called The Woodlands

 

Okay let's get this rolling again.

 

Horseshoe Bend, Arizona! Been there - there's a short trail to the rim from a parking lot that you can't really see in the top center of this pic.

 

You got it, your up! Hoping to visit that area this fall.

 

OK here we go.

 

Looks like the Appalachian region, maybe somewhere in WV

 

It is along the Appalachian, but not WV (too far south).

 

Maryland?

 

Nope, but you're within 100 miles of this town.

 

Took me a while, had to search for autumn tree tours and came across Jim Thorpe PA?

 

You got it! You're up.

 

That last one was tough. Hope this one stumps for a few..

 

mountainous
tropical
moderate density housing - not an island
moderate property offsets - "
no pools
large single family homes - extended family
LHD - rules out former commonwealth countries/asia (this isn't china, period)
stadium/arena left and mid level of picture
use of green lighting in separate places in picture
no flags - damn
white box van mid/left appears to be of NA origin, just looks like a Chevrolet

 

San Jose, Costa Rica?

 

Medellin, Columbia

 

South East of there.

 

Bogota?

 

Somewhere in Brazil

 

Yes it is in Brazil.

 

Clues or something.

 

Sao Paulo (sp?)

 

Might it be Rio de Janeiro?

 

I'm trying to narrow this down. Looks like a medium-sized city, unless there is a lot more of it outside the view in the pic. So not thinking it's one of the big ones, like Rio, Brasilia, Sao Paulo. Mountainous--that leaves out most of the Amazon basin. No ocean in view, so not likely coastal. Still, a lot of the country remains, and lots of mountain cities.

OTOH, it could be a nearby city from a major one. Nova Iguacu?

 

Day 17.

 

Somebody post another pic.

I'll guess Telluride, CO.

and THANK YOU @beermanpete

 

Ogden, UT

 

Not the poster, but you are correct. The switchback road visible thanks to the snow is Black Bear Pass, which is a great 4wd road. Its particularly shaky if you take BBP into Telluride, slick rock and steep descents.

 

Yes, it is Telluride. CO. Black Bear Pass was quite the challenge in a VW based Dune Buggy.

 

Alright, let's get this rolling again.

 

I don't know, but it looks like my kind of place.

 

Mackinac

 

Fudge city

 

Winner. And a bonus point for the appropriate spelling.

 

Did BBP with my father's FJ40, thought that was pretty sketchy. A manx would be a challenge, to say the least. :rockin:

 

Will have one posted when I am home from work.
