Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[Nomofett]

Zing! It's from the top of the Sky Building (which across the street from the place with the best selection of craft beer in town.-well one of the three best) across from the fourth busiest train station in the world (where I am right now actually)

You're up Minky!

 

[Minky]

OK, let's try this one:

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

St George, Bermuda?

 

[Minky]

St George, Bermuda?

No, not Bermuda. Go south!

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Phillipsburg, St Maarten?

 

[Minky]

Phillipsburg, St Maarten?

No. It had a very strong previous association with the US.

 

[Photopilot]

Havana Cuba.

 

[Minky]

Havana Cuba.

Not an island.

Panama city Panama.

 

[Photopilot]

colon panama

 

[Minky]

Panama city Panama.

Well, you have the country right!

 

[Minky]

You're up, sir!

My great uncles both worked the Cristobal docks beginning about 1910ish. One was harbormaster, and the other worked handling cargo. I'd like to go there someday.

Oh yeah, the picture is the Colon 2000 cruise ship dock.

Did we empower a dictator or overthrow one?

I have been through the Canal once, Noriega was still our guy.

I just guessed Panama based on your clue, threw the canal port into google and came up with Colon not Panama city. Our cruise transited the canal but did not stop in Panama.

 

[Minky]

Did we empower a dictator or overthrow one?

Haha! You would think one or the other, right. Of course, the Canal Zone was a territory of the US until the late 70's.

Name that skyline.

It should be obvious. You either recognize it or not. No google.

That looks like Mt Hood to me.

 

[arnobg]

Mt Hood. Bonus points for name that cockpit? Looks like a Piper Navajo

 

[Photopilot]

That looks like Mt Hood to me.

Yes it is. Only a few peaks shaped like it in the world. MadKing is up.

Correct it is a PA-31. But a Chieftain, the only way I know is the HSI vs OBS.

 

[TheMadKing]

Since we're on the subject of mountains

This might be bending the rules a bit, but try to identify the location this picture was taken based on the background.

 

[arnobg]

Mount St. Helens? or is this from the other side?

 

[TheMadKing]

Mt. St Helens?

Nope

 

[Photopilot]

Mt Rainier

 

[arnobg]

Mt. Jefferson? It looks too flat in between to be Rainier to me but I'm not sure.

 

[TheMadKing]

Nope and Nope.. but at this rate it's just a matter of time until someone guesses the correct peak.

 

[TheMadKing]

You are correct that the smaller peaks around Rainer are bigger than these.. but this "hills" down there are about 5000 feet in elevation still

I just threw Rainier out there because it is on my bucket list, then went to the map to see no way to get Hood in the background without St Hellens and Baker in between.

I've never summited Rainier, but my first date with SWMBO was climbing to Camp Muir at 10,000 ft
