Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[arnobg]

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.



I will start with this photo I took during a trip last month. It is in the U.S.

Ballyvaughan.

That one was pretty obvious if you are a huge fan of Clare County, Ireland.

 

[arnobg]

That one was tough. Had no idea, not much of a "skyline" lol

I thought you might be fooled since the skyline changed recently, but you nailed it! :rockin:

Thought about saying it might look different, but didn't want any spoilers.

Ok, this one is probably easy.

Go for it. I have a feeling you might just get it.

Ok. I'm going to take a completely wild guess here and say....Atlantic City New Jersey.

Google search: Looks like Myrtle Beach.

But, no. Not Myrtle Beach

I've never been to a city that has a ferris wheel so I had try to cheat!!!

The ferris wheel might be made by the same company, it looks the same?!?!?

 

[passedpawn]

Easy one...

Dubrovnik Croatia apparently. I keep reading about what a great vacation place Croatia is. Being ground zero for WWI, seems like an unlikely place to go, but man they've got some cool views.

 

[Michigan_Wolfman]

Hmm...It isn't the Ferris wheel they call 'The Eye' in London England is it?

Nope

 

[arnobg]

I'm glad this game is moving now. My guess was also going to be Atlantic City which I see is wrong.

I looked at the image URL because I wanted to know the answer so I'm not going to answer again for this one, not fun when you cheat.

Cheaters never win! (Unless they don't get caught!)

Ok, from now on, no more cheating YOU GUYS!

Orlando FL has the Orlando Eye. It's pretty neat.

Getting closer. Still not the right ferris wheel

Right, I know. Didn't somebody already name the city? I thought this one was done.

Nope. People posted but havent gotten it right

 

[Michigan_Wolfman]

I think I've figured out where this is now, because I finally remembered my sisters going on Spring Break from Central Michigan University one year and coming back with a ton of snapshots, several of which showed a Ferris Wheel near a beach. I'm going to say Pensacola Florida.

Ah, woops, I got confused with the chain of posts.

I'm gonna guess Austria. My wife rode on (what she said was) the tallest ferris wheel in the world there. Not sure what city it's in, but I'll guess Vienna. Not cheating, promise. Looking at it now, it doesn't look anything like Europe, and I've never been there, so it's probably a stupid guess.

winner winner!

 

[Michigan_Wolfman]

This one might be a bit more difficult. Alright Home Brew Talk.....name this skyline!

 

[arnobg]

Okay guys the poster of the original waterfront city (San Diego) never confirmed it was correct. I'm only trying to follow this procedure because I've played this game before on other forums and things get carried on and someone ends up being wrong making a mess of the order.

Try to let the person answer that it is correct from now on before posting something.

Anyways carry on!


As for my guess, Delaware Memorial Bridge near Baltimore???
