Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[beermanpete]

It could have been a flood that move that house. How about Visalia, CA?

 

[InspectorJon]

It was a flood. Not in California. The first picture I posted was a hint. It’s all connected.

 

[beermanpete]

New Orleans?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Hurricane Katrina effect in New Orleans

 

[InspectorJon]

Hurricane Katrina, yes. Right state, wrong city/town.

 

[beermanpete]

Baton Rouge?

 

[InspectorJon]

Not Baton Rouge. Wrong direction from New Orleans. This is a smaller community that took the brunt of the storm with 10 to 12 feet of moving storm surge water. It had close to 100% damage and is still a shadow of what it was before Katrina.

 

[beermanpete]

Port Sulphur?

 

[InspectorJon]

Farther south

 

[beermanpete]

Pilottown?

 

[D.B.Moody]

Buras, LA

 

[InspectorJon]

Buras it is. @D.B.Moody is next.

This is from 1968:

USS Alabama!

I had to look up which ship was there, but I remember it from a trip to Mobile quite a few years ago. Great park with some airplanes in a hangar nearby. We used to do Gulf Shores once every 2 or 3 years late summer just before school started.

OK, well I'm pretty sure I got it...

 

[D.B.Moody]

USS Alabama, Mobile is correct. You're up @tracer bullet.
BTW, we were also there after we had kids. This is from 1977:

 

[tracer bullet]

Hopefully not too easy.

 

[pvtpublic]

South pacific?

 

[tracer bullet]

Not even close! It was my first thought as well and why I remembered it for this, being - not at all there, which I somewhat expected as well.

 

[pvtpublic]

North Atlantic, then? Haha

 

[tracer bullet]

Yes.

 

[pvtpublic]

Is it that chain of islands ~800 mile/1000 km west of Portugal? If so I'm scouring the area like Sauron

 

[tracer bullet]

Nope! Not a chain of islands. At all.

I should also rephrase an earlier answer, regarding the North Atlantic... This is part of a country that does have a coast on the North Atlantic (but this may or not necessarily be part of that coast).

 

[DBhomebrew]

Cliffs look to be of NH granite.

 

[bruce_the_loon]

They're so far off. That's the Calanque d'En Vau on the Mediterranean in France. The kayaks are one of the only ways to access it, the other being a bit of a hike.

 

[tracer bullet]

That's the Calanque d'En Vau on the Mediterranean in France.

Yep! You are next.

I forgot where I saw this, maybe a windows screen saver thing. Makes sense that it can be in France but I didn't expect it.

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Sticking with the not-easy-to-access beaches theme.

 

[tracer bullet]

Somewhere in New Zealand?

 

[Pkrd]

Aussie?

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Somewhere in New Zealand?

Aussie?

Both wrong, but in the correct hemisphere. Keep going.
