Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[DBhomebrew]

Adirondacks?

That's the range.

 

[dirkomatic]

That's the range.

Until you said "many, even locals, think the mountains in question are indeed Appalachian." I, too, believed that the Poconos, Catskills, and Adirondacks were all part of the Appalachians.

Looking south along I-87 as it makes its way around the rock and ice climbing face of Poke-O-Moonshine.

Here's another tidbit for you in the other direction. Cape Cod and Long Island. Same geological formation!

ETA: I believe the Poconos and Catskills are Appalachian. Adirondacks are not.

Chesterfield, NY?

According to this wikipedia page(Adirondack Mountains - Wikipedia), they aren't... That's where I got my info. Although, wikipedia has been wrong before.

Chesterfield, NY?

Funny, I lived there for 5 years and no one ever refered to the area as Chesterfield. You're not wrong, but Dirk's got the reigns.

 

[dirkomatic]

Been to this city, but not to this place. It was colder when I was there....

 

[dirkomatic]

Ok... More of a skyline for the city:

 

[DBhomebrew]

No question, that's Frank Lloyd Wright. Monona Terrace, Madison, WI.

Also, Olbrich Botanical Gardens.

ETA: 1000th message on HBT!

Yep. Madison, it is.

You're up @DBhomebrew

Congrats on the 1000th post!

Italy?

 

[DBhomebrew]

Italy?

Yep

 

[Andres Falconer]

I wouldn't really know, but I'll go with Rome. Ponte Milvio.

Not Rome

 

[DBhomebrew]

When we visited this place we flew in/out at Milan.

 

[Andres Falconer]

Google isn't helping much, so I'll go with Bergamo.

Bergamo was a nice place to visit. Had a really great meal up in the Citta Alta. But this pic was taken in a different town a few days later.

There's a strong clue in the pic that will pinpoint where it is.

 

[Andres Falconer]

Clue... as in "Parma"?

 

[DBhomebrew]

Clue... as in "Parma"?

The Parma violet

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parma_violet

 

[Andres Falconer]

More specifically, Ponte Giuseppe Verdi, Parma?

 

[DBhomebrew]

Clue... as in "Parma"?

Ha! Just saw it scribed on the lock.

 

[Andres Falconer]

It beats me why someone would put a love lock on a bridge to say that they love... the city. Clueless vandalism.

 

[Andres Falconer]

So your "clue" was the violet? That's really pushing it for me...

 

[DBhomebrew]

Parma's connection with violets isn't exactly obscure. For example...

I'd agree that a wheel of cheese would've been an easier clue.

 

[Andres Falconer]

Or ham.

if you’re following the news, this has been happening:

Where is it?

 

[dirkomatic]

Is that from Mt. Etna? Catania, Italy?

 

[Andres Falconer]

Not near Italy, though you're likely to find many descendants of Italian immigrants there. Not volcanic-related either.

 

[dirkomatic]

Malibu?

 

[Andres Falconer]

Not in the US. Not forest fire related. Perhaps indirectly.
