Name That Skyline - Picture Game

Green Mountains, Vermont.

 

[satph]

It is in the Green Mountains. I was looking for the name of the lake-- Lake Dunmore. But I kind of botched it up. So HarborTown, you're up.

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

I'll take it. For the record, after the second image I Googled "Big River Green Mountains" which resulted in a pic about best colleges in the mountains, which was in Vermont near the Green Mountains. I got lucky haha.

I'll have a pic right away.

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

Ready, go!

Tadmur, Syria,

 

[passedpawn]

I'd be surprised if it's not completely rubble now. Isis has no reverence for historical sights.

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

Tadmur, Syria,

Somebody saw some news today....

You're up!

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

I'd be surprised if it's not completely rubble now. Isis has no reverence for historical sights.

I read where a UNESCO director or somebody said that ISIS destroying these ruins just proves how scared they are of the history. Say whaaaaaat?

It's a shame. Truly a shame.

 

[passedpawn]

I think this will be easy, but not sure.

 

[passedpawn]

There's several answers that would be appropriate. Don't cheat, google knows this one (though I can't imagine how, but google is smart).

 

[JB_Brewing2]

Cité de Carcassonne, France?

 

[passedpawn]

Nope.

Hint: I'll bet everyone here has seen this exact spot. You just don't remember seeing it.

 

[beermanpete]

Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

 

[passedpawn]

Here's another picture of that gate, from above. I think there's a bunch of student's there.

 

[Kharnynb]

ah, the british castle they used for the harry potter "broom flying" class scenes...

would have to google the name, so i guess that's cheating.

 

[passedpawn]

Googling's fair. You just can't right click the picture and "Search Google for image".

 

[Kharnynb]

In that case alnwick castle

 

[Kharnynb]

pretty sure i was right, so posting an image already

quality is so so, as it is scanned from an old photo.

 

[passedpawn]

Righto

 

[arturo7]

Not sure where it is, but the light is brilliant in that photo.

 

[Kharnynb]

minolta x-500 and a lot of luck

 

[Kharnynb]

do you guys need hints/different angles?

 

[arturo7]

That is an interesting dome atop the tower. Were I an architectural historian, I could probably identify its origin. But I'm not, so I'll just guess somewhere in Spain.

 

[Kharnynb]

it's about as near spain as you can get without being spain.

 

[arturo7]

I'm officially impressed by myself.

Castro Marim, Portugal?

 

[Kharnynb]

not even close

 

[arturo7]

I guess that puts it somewhere in France?

 

[Kharnynb]

getting warm

 

[binabik]

St Malo, France.

 

[Kharnynb]

much nearer to spain
