Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[Ogilthorpe2]

A skyline of a more natural kind….

 

[duncan.brown]

Jackson Hole, WY?

 

[pvpeacock]

Salt Lake City, UT

 

[D.B.Moody]

Well done, @dirkomatic.
It was certainly worth the day trip, in 2009!

WAIT! Isn't @dirkomatic supposed to be up?

 

[dirkomatic]

WAIT! Isn't @dirkomatic supposed to be up?

Yeah, I thought so, too... Not sure what to do now

 

[dirkomatic]

I have one ready to go, just in case.

I have one ready to go, just in case.

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.

 

[Andres Falconer]

@dirkomatic, you should post. It’s your turn. We can continue to work on @Ogilthorpe2 ‘s image for extra credit.

 

[duncan.brown]

Oops, I didn't scroll up far enough to see who was up next. I just guessed based on the last picture.

 

[dirkomatic]

Ok. Another taken from Google Maps:

Winston Salem, North Carolina.

Sorry, my bad.

That‘s what I get for not starting at page 1

 

[dirkomatic]

Winston Salem, North Carolina.

Well, that was quicker than I thought. You're up @D.B.Moody.

What gave this one away so quickly?

What gave this one away so quickly?

I've been there, and the tall building with the dome on top and the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. smoke stacks are distinctive.

This is from 2008:

I think the building with the dome on top is distinctive every time I drive by. That's the reason I chose it.

 

[dirkomatic]

Rocca Albornoziana - Spoleto (Italy)?

 

[D.B.Moody]

Not Spoleto, but it's in Italy and not far from there.

 

[dirkomatic]

Narni, (Terni, Umbria, Italy)?

 

[D.B.Moody]

Not Nami/Terni. It is in Umbria.

 

[dirkomatic]

Assisi

 

[D.B.Moody]

Assisi it is. You're up @dirkomatic. I hope you enjoyed the tour.

I did... Now I need to figure out how to get there personally

Next up....

I can't imagine this will take too long.

All you need is time and money. So, it's easier after the kid/kids is/are out of college and you're retired. The patience you've learned as a brewer will see you through.

 

[D.B.Moody]

I can't imagine this will take too long.

I also thought it would be quick. I've spent a night there more times than I can count on trips east. We often had dinner at Schmidt's Sausage Haus. Back on the road (70 or 71 depending on the trip) the next morning.

Columbus, Ohio

 

[dirkomatic]

Yeah, I really didn't expect that one to take as long as it did...

You're up @D.B.Moody

 

[D.B.Moody]

Unlike Columbus, Ohio, we've only been to this place once, but we did have lunch at the cafe in this picture. From 2017:

 

[Andres Falconer]

Random guess... Geneva, Switzerland?

 

[D.B.Moody]

Not Geneva, but it is Europe.
Another view of same area:

 

[bracconiere]

someplace in mexico? the sign says "El", but the hat makes me wonder?

 

[dirkomatic]

Castle Square (Plaza del Castillo) Pamplona, Navarre, Spain

Would have taken a long time without the second pic.
