Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[bracconiere]

or in otherwords just out for a walk?

and bonneville, utah.....


edit: guess i should have let the non uscitzens try that one....

 

[beermanpete]

Yes, Bonneville Salt Flats. @bracconiere, you are up. This car went a little bit faster than most.

 

[bracconiere]

 

[Kold Brygg]

Looks like a large city. I've seen similar buildings in Asia.

Hong Kong?

 

[bracconiere]

wrong continent.....

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Rotterdam?

 

[bracconiere]

Rotterdam?

as a guess i thought you were the one i'd be getting to hold their tongue... in the "netherlands" good one!!

 

[govner1]

So who is up ?
Monday was the last post

 

[bracconiere]

i thought i was? friday i posted something, gave a 'cryptic' hint with bruce's post....

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Is the suggestion that Bruce would be holding his tongue because it's South Africa?

In which case it can't be a sunrise, as the coast is heading towards the sun and the geometry is wrong for SA. So it's a SW-ish-trending coast, and it looks like dock cranes on the horizon, so a port, so Durban??

 

[bracconiere]

All good guesses, until the conclusion.

 

[Northern_Brewer]

So even closer to Bruce - Port Elizabeth, or Gqeberha as we're now meant to call it?

 

[bracconiere]

Gqeberha

that looks like a star trek name?


and no....i thought for sure me using proper punctuation, would give it away!

Too close to Bruce. Keep going.

 

[bracconiere]

you know @beermanpete inspired me to see how long you'd be able not to call it!
(or capitilize on your familararity with the area!)

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Well if we keep going from Durban to PE, the only big one left is Cape Town, even if the angles are a bit wrong or it's at high summer....

Northern_Brewer has reached his final destination. Looks like it is taken from the noon gun site on Signal Hill.

As Bruce eluded too, you're up @Northern_Brewer ....

 

[Northern_Brewer]

I think it's time to go to the beach....

 

[govner1]

Israel

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Israel is cold

 

[InspectorJon]

Israel is cold

This time of year...

Is that a river mouth at the top of the picture?

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Yep

 

[bracconiere]

i think the best hints are right in front of our eyes.....anyone know what kind of tree that is on the left foreground?

 

[InspectorJon]

.anyone know what kind of tree that is on the left foreground?

Looks like a fig tree. Mediterranean climate. Assuming it is afternoon because there would not be that many people on the beach in the morning and the orientation of the shadows I think we are facing generally south, unless it is in the southern hemisphere...

and we can assume there is a mountain the shot was taken from near by, looking down....

 

[bracconiere]

out of curiosity "Fig Tree Beach"?


edit: cyprus island....

 

[InspectorJon]

I think the beach is facing west, unless we are in the southern hemisphere.

 

[bracconiere]

southern hemisphere.

that's what i searched for....

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Not Cyprus.
