Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[InspectorJon]

Some other pictures of Oberammergau:

I did not understand this one until I researched relics:

 

[InspectorJon]

And my submission for your consideration:

 

[D.B.Moody]

It's been 24 hours. Didn't anyone even try Googling "Bavarian church"?

 

[Irenjcombs]

St Johannes in Grainau, Germany

 

[InspectorJon]

Grainau it is. @Irenjcombs you are up.

 

[Irenjcombs]

Leaving Bavaria for this one

 

[3 Dawg Night]

San Francisco?

 

[Irenjcombs]

You got it

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Took this one just last week.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Time for a hint? We (i.e., this thread) haven't been on this continent in nearly a month.

The Renaissance Cairo Mirage Hotel and associated golf course?

The Renaissance Cairo Mirage Hotel and associated golf course?

Yes, Cairo is the correct answer.

You're up, @bruce_the_loon

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Here goes...

 

[3 Dawg Night]

We've seen this one before in the past few months. I'll let someone else take it, since I don't have another lined up!

 

[dirkomatic]

Yeah, shoot. That was too easy of a find and I don't have anything ready either. I'll pass this time, too.

 

[D.B.Moody]

But isn't this the less famous left-handed version?

EDIT: No, really, @bruce_the_loon, this picture is backwards.

Fixed up. Anyone willing to give it a go outside the three players above.

Dakar Senegal

Correctamundo. Went for the African Renaissance Monument after the Renaissance Hotel in the previous one.

You're next cmac62.

 

[Konadog]

Shouldn't that have been "lageneS rakaD".

 

[cmac62]

Okay here it is.

 

[duncan.brown]

Is that the road into Yellowstone that goes via Cooke City? Bear Tooth Highway, I think it's called.

 

[cmac62]

No, farther afield.

 

[InspectorJon]

Are we back in the Alps?

 

[dirkomatic]

Or the Urals?

 

[beermanpete]

Stelvio Pass?

 

[dirkomatic]

Ok... I can't find it and my anxiety and acrophobia are at abnormally high levels from looking at these photos.

 

[pvpeacock]

Transfagarasan Road, Romania?

 

[Konadog]

Looks like a road that was used for rally racing.

 

[Pkrd]

Sa Calobra Malorca.

Looks like fun

 

[cmac62]

Sorry for the delay, Long weekend and all. But yes,
Pkrd got it right.

Sa Calobra Malorca.

Looks like fun

Not so much in a tour bus. Malorca was my first port call, late in 1991.

Here's an easy one from 2006.

 

[D.B.Moody]

What do you think, @3 Dawg Night and @bruce_the_loon, do we have a Renaissance renaissance going on here?

 

[Pkrd]

You may well have. But it’s topical.

 

[D.B.Moody]

Here's an easy one from 2006.

Apparently not so easy. That is the skyline of Detroit, Michigan, USA, from that park along the Detroit River in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.
I was in Detroit and visited Windsor for a few hours back when I was a truck sales manager for a Chevrolet dealership. I forget what the meeting was about as that job ended before the turn of this century. I don't remember where the meeting was held, but it was not held in the GM Renaissance Center, the building complex on the right side, because I was there about a decade before GM moved into that. But the GM Renaissance Center is what my "Renaissance renaissance" comment was all about.

 

[Pkrd]

I thought maybe it was a repost by me..
You’re up.

 

[D.B.Moody]

I thought you were riffing on the Renaissance Cairo post by @3 Dawg Night and the African Renaissance Monument post by @bruce_the_loon.
This picture is from mid-August, 1968, but it's sort of timely today:

 

[pvpeacock]

New Orleans French Quarter

 

[D.B.Moody]

Excellent. You're up @pvpeacock.
