Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[pvpeacock]

No señor.

You had me at first, but then I saw the clock tower and the city hall. I work in the Union Bank building just a few blocks away.

I have pictures from the roof of that building too. My picture was from 211 Ocean, just down the street.

I know where that is, I have some friends from there and my neighbors are going there for Xmas. I'll stay out of this one.

Where ever this is it is beautiful...

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

OK, so I hope we can agree that Martian landscapes and sunsets over water, without any unique characteristics are also not in the spirit of the game.

Florida travelers, especially old guys like me, should know this spot.

Hey Minky, absolutely right, and I apologize if you thought my comment was just for you. Do not take it personally. I've been less than successful playing so far, hence, a little frustrated with Mars, sunset, (although the photographs were artfully composed) then x marks the spot. Forgive me.

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic

 

[pvpeacock]

Sorry, No to Dominican Republic, but it looks beautiful as well.

Jamaica?

No offense taken, buddy. It is, after all, a game. Besides, my photo was a sucky choice!

I think the ones that are the most fun are the ones where you have to dig a little. I had a lot of fun finding the dam in Photopilot's clue photo, but I needed help getting started. I think it's difficult to come up with the right ratio of toughness and solvability. Recognizing a location by terrain only requires some special knowledge.

Jamaica?

Nah Mahn.

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

San Jaun, PR

 

[pvpeacock]

Not San Juan, PR either.

 

[Minky]

Mallorca?

Since the mountains look volcanic, I would say someplace like Fiji?

If you been there and recognize it you should cough up the answer. That is a very valid way to win, much cooler than spending an hour googling.

My guess: Grand Cayman

Getting warmer

 

[JonM]

Del Boca Vista?

 

[Hoppy2bmerry]

Cebu City Philippines?

 

[pvpeacock]

No and no. I'll drop a hint later this morning

Hagatña, Guam. A military island would have been a good hint/give away.

pvpeacock, did you take the picture?

 

[pvpeacock]

A significant WW II Pacific battle occurred here.

 

[pvpeacock]

You're a winner!!!!! NoI did not take the picture myself, but spent a significant amount of time working in Guam.

 

[pvpeacock]

Back then, it was called Agana, Guam

 

[Konadog]

A little harder (I think)

 

[pvpeacock]

Carpenteria, California ?

 

[Konadog]

Carpenteria, California ?

Damn it! That's the place, looking south.

 

[pvpeacock]

I had a case where a kid fell off the cliff on his way to the seal rookery there and sued my client who owns the land. I will post a new picture when I get home.

Well, that sucked. Thought I would post these while waiting. It was a fun thing to do when the kids were still in school.

 

[pvpeacock]

Here you go. A little different than Guam.

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

Well it looks like they're making snow, and you're from SoCal, so I'll say Big Bear.
