Caspian Sea

 

[razzman]

Caspian Sea

Is that Asia? It's not in the Caspian.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Is that Asia? It's not in the Caspian.

It’s the last of the tideless seas, so it must be manmade water. Is it in the USA?

 

[beermanpete]

Gold Coast in Australia?

 

[pvpeacock]

Luanda, Angola?

 

[razzman]

Luanda, Angola?

Bang on the money, YAU!

 

[pvpeacock]

The palm trees had me thinking tropical or sub-tropical and since Asia and the Med were out, I thought Africa. It took me quite a while searching major African city skylines to find it.

Here you go:

 

[razzman]

Is that a mausoleum?

 

[pvpeacock]

No

 

[razzman]

USA?

 

[day_trippr]

In a way, mausoleum isn't far off: that is the "Walhalla" memorial, built in the early 1800s in Bavaria, Germany, and it is home to hundreds of busts and plaques honoring "Germans" throughout the ages to before it was actually called Germany...

Cheers!

 

[pvpeacock]

Bingo. Day tripper is up

 

[day_trippr]

As city skyscapes go, here's something different!

Cheers!

 

[pvpeacock]

Planet Ahch-To?

 

[day_trippr]

lol! I assure all that this is a terrestrial city

 

[pvpeacock]

Mirny, Russia diamond mine?

 

[day_trippr]

Nailed it! Over to you.

btw, definitely do not want to overshoot that runway on landing

 

[pvpeacock]

Crazy how deep that mine is and how close the town is.
Here's a new one.

 

[day_trippr]

Well that's been in the news lately as it's where the Current Occupant plans on meeting up with the Russian president.
Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska.

 

[pvpeacock]

That was quick. My office used to be across the inlet in Anchorage and I used to watch the military planes come and go. One afternoon, I was surprised to see two MIGs coming in for a landing. I later learned there was some friendship type exchange with the Russians post-cold war.
You're up.

 

[day_trippr]

I had literally just seen a similar picture of that base in yesterday's news.

Let's see if this city stays unknown for more than a minute

Cheers!

Himalayas?

 

[razzman]

La Rinconada, Peru.

 

[day_trippr]

It is indeed, and the "highest city on earth".
Over to you!

Beer related city.
