Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[Minky]

OK, this shouldn't be too difficult.

 

[Photopilot]

___________ Center?

 

[Photopilot]

Atlantic City

 

[Minky]

___________ Center?

If y'all are gettin' the idea that I cropped out the name of the "center", you'd be right. It's not Atlantic City.

Looks like the amusement park is more like a fair and not permanent. That's all I got. Im going sailing.

D'ohhh! You're right! It IS a fair. Well, that's not fair. Time for a different picture.

Here's yours Photopilot (Haha! Just Kidding!):

 

[TooDogly]

American Bank Center

And

USS Lexington at Corpus Christi

You got it, buddy!

 

[TooDogly]

Here we go

 

[gratus fermentatio]

Savannah, GA.
The sign was a dead giveaway.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

I only see a partial sign on a building... I'm guessing Alexandria VA

 

[TooDogly]

Haha, oops. I guess I should google my own signs next time. Apparently Jere Antiques has only one store and it's in Savannah.

Yup. If I had left "American Bank" in the picture with "__________Center", it would have been a "dead give-away" as GF said!

OK, this is sort of a trick skyline, yes, that in itself is a clue. Looking for the name of the mountain,
extra points if you can name the lake too.

 

[Newsman]

Mt Fuji (AKA Fujiyama). Guessing, but is it Lake Yamanaka

 

[TooDogly]

That would be St Helens and Spirit Lake which is now completely destroyed after the eruptions. I'm not old enough to have seen it like that but I'm familiar with photos. It was one of the most beautiful lakes in the Cascade mountains.

This is pretty much what it looked like when I saw it in 2002.

 

[Newsman]

TooDogly, I do believe you are correct.

I'll wait a little longer for GF to confirm before posting the next one.

I did a search of it and concur you got it right.

 

[TooDogly]

Okay....

Keeping with the mountain theme, this time I have chosen a hard one. I'll give hints as we go.

One of the three Sister's Peaks?

Or two of them?

No

Correct.

Red rocks = Utah or Colorado?

 

[TooDogly]

Red rocks = Utah or Colorado?

Not those states. This is volcanic rock, not sedimentary.

Are you a geologist?

 

[TooDogly]

Are you a geologist?

Haha, maybe amateurishly, I guess I know the fundamentals. I enjoy learning about all branches of science: chemistry, physics, biology, astronomy, geology. Except Taxonomy, I couldn't care less about how humans decide to categorize living things.

 

[TooDogly]

Here is a clue: This is a volcano, and it's in the U.S. which means it must be in one of the following states: Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, or Hawaii.

 

[MagicMatt]

Are you a geologist?

I would venture to say 'no' to that, as "volcanic rock" is not a type of rock but a description of origin. Volcanic rock and sedimentary rock are not mutually exclusive; volcanic rock can and often leads to both metamorphic and sedimentary stratification, so going by looks alone it looks to have been stratified in some fashion.

Anyhow, I have no guesses on this one.

Here is a clue: This is a volcano, and it's in the U.S. which means it must be in one of the following states: Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, or Hawaii.

Uhhh....what about all of the other states with volcanoes? Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, South Dakota, Idaho, Virginia, New Hampshire, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, and Texas all have at least one volcano.
