Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[gratus fermentatio]

The Citadel of Calvi, Corsica?

 

[JB_Brewing2]

Citadel of Castelsardo, Sardinia

 

[Kharnynb]

It is in france, just not north

 

[BikerMatt]

Collioure, France.

 

[Kharnynb]

Collioure, France.

Correct, you are up next

 

[BikerMatt]

Bit of a curveball this time I'm a nutter for everything post-apocalyptic, at first I thought Pripyat but that would have been too obvious.

Have fun

 

[JB_Brewing2]

Sanzhi, Taiwan?

 

[BikerMatt]

Noup. Thought that would be the first guess

Not far though.

Wanli, Taiwan.

BTW I aleady did pripyat in this thread.

 

[BikerMatt]

Hm, thought that would've been tuffer...

You're up.

Probly did, can't be arsed to scroll down almost 300 pages to see what's been done before my time here...

Here you guys go. I am looking for the name of the building from which this photo was taken (it's my photo). There should be ample clues here. Likely one of you savages will know this locale without googling.

 

[passedpawn]

I was just thinking, maybe it's unfair to ask for the building. The topic is skylines, and locating a building will likely require google help (which I assumed a lot of people are already doing). Anyway, I thought this one was pretty easy given some landmarks there and lots of resolution). I'm gonna stick with looking for the bldg name, but thoughts are welcome.

 

[GrogNerd]

driving on the right side of the road, so can rule out UK and Japan, among others

something about it reminds me of L'Enfant Plaza, Washington DC

so that's my guess... DC

 

[passedpawn]

Correct country, wrong place.

FYI, that church there isn't the most identifying building in the picture. The odd angular dk blue shape between me and the church really stands out, especially from street level.

Well how else could you locate it besides knowing exactly. Would help to identify landmarks to know them...

Coming up with random search phrases for two hours yield no result, quite a lot of churches downtown different cities in USA, I give up...

Here's another view. This might bring certain features into better view. More clues I'd say. I saw Phantom of the Opera in the large complex right on the other side of that park there. Somebody should recognize something in the far left of the pic.

 

[JB_Brewing2]

That's the Moscone Center in San Francisco, but beats the daylights out of me what the building is where the photo was shot.

 

[JB_Brewing2]

The Contemporary Jewish Museum may be where the shot was taken.

No, that's not the right building. In fact, you're looking down on the museum from the pic.

Pic was taken from the Four Seasons hotel in SF. AT&T park is in the top left (home of the SF Giants baseball team). SF bay is in that second pic. I thought those things would have made this easier.

You're pretty close. You're up.

Sorry, couldn't discern the museum from the hotel in the first photo. Had to review the second photo to see it. Second photo revealed the Moscone Center sign. Since I didn't quite get it quite right, I'm posting what should be an easy peasy, quick and easy pic (at least I hope.)

 

[JB_Brewing2]

Think Europe...

 

[GrogNerd]

bridge looks like the one in Riga, Latvia, but the surroundings don't match

lol... I'm a whole lot better at guessing where these places are NOT

Rotterdam, Netherlands. That's the Erasmusbrug (Erasmus bridge).

You are correct! You're up.

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

Good one. I had thought originally it was Amsterdam, and checked but that wasn't it. I was like, what, 75% right???

 

[gratus fermentatio]

OK, here's one that may be easy for some.

 

[pvpeacock]

Portland?

 

[gratus fermentatio]

No, not Portland, but you're fairly close.

 

[binabik]

Bellevue, WA?

 

[gratus fermentatio]

Bellevue, WA?

Bingo! You're up.
