Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Not my image, but a skyline I have seen many times over the years.

 

[Newsman]

Can you provide a larger picture or link to a larger picture???

Sorry, Newsman. This one doesn't have signs, but admittedly is low quality. If no one gets it, or can make a good guess, I'll post a better picture tomorrow AM. Promise!

Milwaukee, WI?

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Milwaukee, WI?

Not Wisconsin.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Again not my image, view from a different side.

Providence RI. Complete WAG

Providence RI. Complete WAG

A sorry, not in RI.
Wisconsin is closer in proximity to this city.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Time for a hint? This is the largest city in the state and is not the capital.

Omaha, NE

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Omaha, NE

Yes, Omaha is correct. You are up.

@JB_Brewing2 three days the winner has not taken their turn, since you were the first to submit a location, how about posting a pic? ( that isn't in the rules, but seems like a good way to keep things going)

OK, just to keep things going.

This image was taken in 1998 in Asia and I'll be happy to give hints since this may be a tough one (although you folks have been surprising me).

Vladivostok?

 

[passedpawn]

Omsk

 

[JB_Brewing2]

Vladivostok?

Not Omsk. The pictured location is about the same distance from Vladivostok as it is from Omsk.

 

[JB_Brewing2]

Omsk

Not Omsk or Vladivostok. The pictured location is about the same distance from Vladivostok as it is from Omsk.

 

[pvpeacock]

Irkutsk?

 

[JB_Brewing2]

Irkutsk?

Bingo! You are correct. This city is located on the shore of the deepest lake in the world that was created by, not glaciation, but tectonic plate action, Lake Baikal.

 

[pvpeacock]

I looked at a map of what was between Omsk and Vladivostok and Irkutsk looked very similar. Here you go. For anyone who's been there, this should be pretty easy.

 

[JB_Brewing2]

San Felipe?

I've sat on that exact beach. My mom owned some property that might be in that picture, and also some behind the camera man.

Her ashes are right in that body of water there.

Si. San Felipe! Passedpawn, did you ever meet Pancho Limon in San Felipe? 6'11" 400 lb. owner of Club De Pesca. JB, you're up.

Maybe? I'm sure he knew my mom though. She was really into the expat partying scene down there. Her 3rd husband, Kurt, married one of the locals after my mom passed, then his 2nd heart finally gave out (might have been related to marrying a young mexican gal ), so I don't know anybody down there now. No idea whatever happened to the properties. Kurts family was part of the racing/baja scene, which is how that little expat enclave came to be I was told.

 

[JB_Brewing2]

This should be easy. Please just name the location. (Sorry, my archive of skylines is getting thin.)

Tahquamenon Falls

 

[JB_Brewing2]

Tahquamenon Falls

Correct! You're up.

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

Correct! You're up.

Each summer I camped and fished in the UP. We'd take day trips to random waterfalls, and Tahq Falls was one we visited probably 12 or so years ago. Surprisingly, I recognized that immediately. It's gorgeous up there.

Here ya go:

 

[Kampenken]

Sub'd. Wish I knew I've got a great one to post.

Clue time? You can see two countries here.
