Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[DBhomebrew]

More like The Rock!

 

[D.B.Moody]

I'd knock your spelling of Gloucester

Which is why I don't try to write out MA. I should have checked the city.

...of Gibraltar

 

[D.B.Moody]

...of Gibraltar

I'm glad you clarified this, because it could have been Gibralter, Alcatraz, the diamond Richard Burton gave Elizabeth Taylor 1969, or, nowadays (and I know this because I tried Googling "The Rock") a wrestler named Dwayne Johnson.

You're up @DBhomebrew.

 

[DBhomebrew]

More rocks.

 

[Erik the Anglophile]

I'd guess somewhere just outside the coast of north east USA.
This is a tough one...

 

[DBhomebrew]

Correct ocean

 

[Erik the Anglophile]

Saint Peter and Saint Paul archipelago outside Brazil.

 

[DBhomebrew]

That's it. Site of where Stephen Maturin is inadvertently marooned in HMS Surprise. Two books before, he observes the nighttime Battle of Algeciras from atop the rock of Gibraltar.

 

[Erik the Anglophile]

I change my contribution to this one instead.

 

[D.B.Moody]

This is a long shot: Kungstedeb Trail, Sweden

 

[Erik the Anglophile]

Close(depending on what part of the Kungsleden trail you refer to) but not quite there.

 

[D.B.Moody]

Well, it's a long trail. How about Padjelanta National Park instead?

 

[Erik the Anglophile]

Ding ding, the border between Padjelanta and Sarek to be precise.

I had another rock picture ready because I had Googled "Lighthouse archpelago atlantic ocean" last night, and the fourth image was that lighthouse. I decided to answer if it was open after lunch today. Well, it had been answered this morning and now the rock seems off subject compared to this:

BTW: not my picture (as if I had to say it.)

Svalbard Global Seed Vault.

 

[D.B.Moody]

That is it. The last couple of places seemed to be in the middle of nowhere, and this related to Scandinavia and is on an archipelago but a picture I took of Hays, Kansas, not so much. You're up, @bruce_the_loon.

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Here we go again...

 

[DBhomebrew]

UK?

 

[bruce_the_loon]

UK?

Yep.

 

[Erik the Anglophile]

Wye College hop farm?

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Wye College hop farm?

Nope, about 70km off target

 

[D.B.Moody]

Here we go again...

I think this is a cue for the next in queue.

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Come on people, how much longer are we going to stand in this line waiting for the future to grow around us?

 

[tracer bullet]

70km away is in the vicinity of London. DO we head that direction or elsewhere?

Clearly the location is not in the city, but could be close by. Looks like a fancy greenhouse. Research like. Owned by an agriculture company?

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Not part of a corporate structure, but you could say that they have stars directing their fate.

 

[duncan.brown]

I’d take a guess, but it seems like there is a “queue.”

Somewhat further south, but the non-corporate parent is in London. Linked vaguely to the previous picture.

 

[duncan.brown]

Fine, I'll jump to the front of the queue it's the seed bank and Kew Gardens.

 

[tracer bullet]

Ahh, nice. I'd searched ag headquarters, greenhouses, etc. but not come up with anything. I get it now.
