Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[dirkomatic]

Well, that's a downer.

Yeah... Sorry. It's a good reminder that drunk driving is a very bad idea though. Look up some of the photos of his Porsche. I won't post them here.

Not all that far off...on the global scale of this game.

Look's like Hog Heaven. What about Bob's?

Bam!

You're up.

I couldn't resist the What About Bob?
From 2008 another parts yard:

 

[govner1]

Herculaneum

 

[D.B.Moody]

Not Herculaneum. But it's Italy and the same disastrous event.

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Tis Pompeii with the exploding mountain of fire and death behind it.

 

[DuncB]

I think you are right @bruce_the_loon but let's wait for confirmation.

 

[D.B.Moody]

Pompeii est. You're up, @bruce_the_loon.

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Here goes.

It clearly is a roman theatre. But if you google that term, you realise that there are quit a lot of them. Is it in Turkey?

Not Turkey, and not further east. Let's eliminate that chunk of the Roman Empire.

I think somebody said that before, a few thousand years ago...

Leptis Magna in Libya

Leptis Magna in Libya

Quod est verum.

Was just about to reply to Miraculix that the original owners tried to eliminate the Romans at one point.

D.B.Moody, you're up again.

 

[D.B.Moody]

Was just about to reply to Miraculix that the original owners tried to eliminate the Romans at one point.

And that didn't turn out so well for them.
Here's a place that is the site of another type of major event. From a 2010 trip:

 

[Konadog]

Looks like crater lake.

 

[D.B.Moody]

That's because it is Crater Lake You're up @Konadog.

 

[Konadog]

I fly over it a few times a year so I know it well. Back in a few.

 

[Konadog]

Not much here to go on so good luck!

 

[D.B.Moody]

Lake isabella, California. Some part of that is probably considered Kern River.

 

[Konadog]

That's it. Wen't white water rafting down the Kern River many years ago.

I don't recall going in the water this day, but we were here in 1995, which was a few years ago:

Okay, a day's gone by. Here's where that picture was taken from:

 

[Andres Falconer]

Santa Barbara, California

Taken from Stearns Point. Not sure where exactly West Beach becomes East Beach. I haven’t been there, but wouldn’t mind visiting!

 

[D.B.Moody]

I think the wharf is the demarcation point. The first picture is to the east.
This was the start of a two-week circle around California. We flew into LAX and Santa Barbara is two hours up highway 101.
You're up @Andres Falconer.

The Harbor Restaurant was a big giveaway. Googled “Harbor Restaurant Calif…” and got Santa Barbara as a suggested search term.

This was last Friday:

The Harbor Restaurant was a big giveaway.

Which is why that picture came second.
And speaking of East, how about the Whitney Block on Queen's Park East, Ontario, Canada?
