Fredrickton New Brunswick

 

[GrogNerd]

#3 - not a PROVINCE capital

 

[Tombsy]

Last guess. Ottawa.

 

[Upthewazzu]

Since you were a sailor, is it a port town? Looks like somewhere on the east coast to me.

 

[GrogNerd]

Not Ottawa

It is a port city

 

[JonM]

Belfast?

 

[GrogNerd]

Not Belfast

#4 - getting closer

 

[Tombsy]

Now its my last guess. Dublin.

 

[GrogNerd]

Not Dublin

#5 - Belfast was closer

 

[JonM]

Edinburgh?

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Asheville? Where is that?

Point taken, North Carolina.

That looks eastern mediterranean to me...

Tirana Albania?

 

[GrogNerd]

Not Edinburgh

#6 - heading in the right direction

 

[Newsman]

Oslo, Norway

 

[Tombsy]

Oslo, Norway

This could be the winner...

 

[GrogNerd]

Not Tirana (not a port city, is it?)

 

[GrogNerd]

Oslo, Norway

Winner!

That's Oslo's Radhus (city hall)

 

[Brian77095]

Tórshavn? this is a tough one.

 

[Brian77095]

shoot just missed it. lol

 

[TheMadKing]

Not Tirana (not a port city, is it?)

Doh! looked closer to the water on my map next to my desk.. whoops!

 

[Newsman]

Winner!

That's Oslo's Radhus (city hall)

I confess... Google Images helped quite a bit. It still wasn't easy!

 

[Newsman]

This isn't going to be easy, so I'll give you ONE clue -- it's NOT on the ocean

 

[jmark]

Yeah, I was about to post Oslo... the palace in the background was the key for me... looks very similar to Buckingham Palace.

 

[Newsman]

I just read the rules about not using Google Images. I will disqualify myself if someone else wants to go, or we can go on with my challenge. Either way works for me.

 

[GrogNerd]

I confess... Google Images helped quite a bit. It still wasn't easy!

That's just good research, I would think

My point was, trying to image search on my photo wouldn't help at all

Well, it did help, but only got me in the general "ballpark" of looking at cityscapes... and there was no exact replica. Had to identify it by the unique building in the picture.

 

[jmark]

Hmm... Dublin?

 

[Newsman]

Not Dublin. You're nowhere near correct.

 

[Newsman]

Pretty sure Google Images won't help, because I just used it to check...

 

[Tombsy]

Bulkeley Bridge - Hartford?
