Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[bruce_the_loon]

South of San Francisco?

 

[pvpeacock]

Yes, South of San Francisco

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Half moon bay?

 

[pvpeacock]

Farther South.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Santa Cruz

 

[pvpeacock]

Still farther South by quite a bit.

Descanso Beach Club on Santa Catalina Island.

 

[pvpeacock]

Bingo! This was the site of a famous hotel back in the day that fell into disrepair and ultimately burned down. The Santa Catalina Island Company decided to upgrade the facility a number of years ago and it is quite nice now. Loon, you're up.
P.S. The view from Descanso looking toward Avalon and the Casino:

Google Earth from San Diego to San Francisco and back before heading off-shore.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Does your google earth statement refer to the bridge?

Does your google earth statement refer to the bridge?

Nope, to solving pvpeacock's challenge.

 

[beermanpete]

Arouca 516 bridge in Arouca, Portugal?

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Arouca 516 bridge in Arouca, Portugal?

That's it, you're up @beermanpete

 

[beermanpete]

Ok, here is you next challenge...

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Rockies?

 

[pvpeacock]

Alvarenga, Portugal -- Arouca 516 bridge.

 

[pvpeacock]

I'm confused. Who was up? Bruce the Loon got my last skyline correct, so I thought he was up.

Never mind, that was weird, Pete's post on the sky bridge was missing on my thread, but then it popped up when I refreshed.

 

[beermanpete]

Rockies?

Yes, these are part of the Rocky Mountains.

I'm confused. Who was up? Bruce the Loon got my last skyline correct, so I thought he was up.

Never mind, that was weird, Pete's post on the sky bridge was missing on my thread, but then it popped up when I refreshed.

I think the confusion is because my skyline was the last on one page and the reply from Pete on the next.

 

[pvpeacock]

I can see a ski area across the valley. Is that Vail?

 

[beermanpete]

Not Vail. You are close but on the wrong side of the divide.

 

[beermanpete]

No more guesses? @pvpeacock, you were closest so you're up.

The photo is of the eastern slope of the Front Range near Breckenridge.

 

[pvpeacock]

Sorry, I got busy and didn't get a chance to make another guess. Here go you:

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Europe?

 

[pvpeacock]

Nope

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Mount Washington hotel.

 

[pvpeacock]

Looks similar, but no.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

[pvpeacock]

Yes. USA.
