Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[Northern_Brewer]

The castle in the link and the one you posted do not look the same. The one in the link has way more structure remaining. I was looking for basically 4 walls yesterday.

I guess the round towers are on the other side of the structure that does remain.

The main photo in the Wiki article looks like it was taken from about "7 o'clock" in the photo I posted, I think it's just the angle of the Wiki photo foreshortens things so the keep looks much closer even though it's on the "far" side, and that in turn makes the keep look much more dominant relative to the walls when you can only really see one side of the walls.

So tropical South America then. Let's kick off with Colombia?

Nope

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Well it's not often you can do this in musical form....

 

[pvtpublic]

Not Ecuador. I'll give you a hint, the country has a well-known river.

 

[bracconiere]

panama?

Apparently many of us don’t get to see the answer

For me, it flashes a scene from the movie Brazil for a small fraction of a second.

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Heh, sorry, that hadn't occurred to me as a possible problem, I'll try to stick to "official" sources. Let's see if this works :

 

[pvtpublic]

Ok, for those that didn't see it, the country is Brazil haha

 

[cmac62]

@pvtpublic perhaps a hint is in order. LOL

 

[pvtpublic]

In the state of Sao Paulo

 

[InspectorJon]

I thought @Northern_Brewer guessed Rio (de Janeiro).

 

[pvtpublic]

Oops, missed that! Not Rio haha

 

[pvtpublic]

Bueller?

 

[tracer bullet]

Yeah, when the thread isn't constantly at the top it's a bit easy to forget about. Well not knocking the thread itsefl! It's great. Just easy to get busy and forget.

Anyhow - I'm thinking it has to be in Sau Paulo. I've done a little aerial viewing to find it, but the city is huge.

Here's my entry:

At first glance my guess is central Washington somewhere near Grand Coulee.

Very good, can you name the state park?

 

[govner1]

Dry Falls Sate Park

 

[cmac62]

Dry Falls Sate Park

That's it. You are up @govner1

 

[govner1]

Should be an easy one:

 

[beermanpete]

Capitol Reef, Utah?

 

[govner1]

Nope. Wrong state, correct continent.

 

[tracer bullet]

Arizona. Not Grand Canyon. Hmm Sedona?

 

[govner1]

Sedona it is! @tracer bullet you’re up!

 

[tracer bullet]

Lucky guess!

Hope mine isn't too easy. I left the watermark in it to give credit to the site I grabbed it from. But I did rename it! We learned that lesson a while back.

 

[govner1]

Split Rock lighthouse

 

[govner1]

Minnesota

 

[tracer bullet]

Yep! Too easy? I didn't think it'd be very well known outside of the local area.

@govner1 is up next.

[Northern_Brewer]

My immediate thought is Hawaiʻi somewhere?

 

[pvtpublic]

Jurassic Park

 

[Pkrd]

Skull island?

 

[InspectorJon]

Na Pali coast, Kauai
