Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[BikerMatt]

Antananarivo, madagascar

 

[Newsman]

Alhambra, Granada, Spain

 

[Kampenken]

Antananarivo, madagascar

Yeah, that's it, well I should say, that's my guess, and you beat me to it!

 

[BikerMatt]

I confess I cheated a little (though I did recognize a few buildings)

Hint: not in USA.

Well, how exactly did you cheat?

 

[BikerMatt]

Well I did do a reverse google image search even though it's forbidden, but I basically did it just to check how the nane of the place is written. I did recognize the place to be in madagascar as I had seen it in a nature show on TV not too long ago. If that's against the rules then fine disqualify me.

I searched radio towers, which produced much garbage. Added Finland to it and something similar popped up on Pinterest for lahti. Searched lahti radio towers and saw a postage Finnish postage stamp depicting those towers, lit up like you showed.

Auckland, NZ?

 

[BikerMatt]

They were a long range T-transmitter up until 1993, but the radio activity has since moved away. Being such an iconic part of the skyline they decided not to take them down, and nowadays they're pretty much rented out to different telecompanies to house their antennas in because of the location (they sit atop a ridge with nothing to block them for miles and miles)

Auckland, NZ?

Good job. You're up. That tower is the tallest freestanding structure in the southern hemisphere.

I see I have to make these a lot harder

 

[orionol73]

Of course I just removed my traveling pics from my phone to make room on it

Haha
Its actually a 24-hour time lapse layered from one side to the other as the day progressed

I'm fairly certain that is San Francisco, looking at the San Fran-Oakland Bridge.

Definitely during the America's Cup.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

It's not mine to officially call, but I'm going to officially confirm HarborTownBrewing's answer as correct. Except for the bridge part. That's the BAY bridge [emoji6]

I second this confirmation. Transamerica building is obvious, Coit tower in front of it on Telegraph hill. Probably taken from alcatraz (from the lighthouse?)

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

Mmk I'll post one shortly dudes

If I'm not mistaken, that is part of the original Enron building.
