Name That Skyline - Picture Game

ding ding. Nice job. Kyoto is the traditional home of the geisha. More in Memoirs of a Geisha.

Cool. I did a Google Image search on "Old Japanese tourist town"

Hopefully this won't be too easy.

Looks like Old Executive Office Building in Washington DC

Dang! That was easier than I thought it would be! You're up, Grog

 

[GrogNerd]

at first I thought it was this building we saw while on a cruise in the Baltic, but then noticed the US flag on the top, the NO RIGHT TURN sign, definitely US. Street lamps and the anti-vehicle posts looked like DC, around the White House.

will be a few before I come up with one. busy work day, plus dude's here to fix my A/C

 

[GrogNerd]

here we go. easy one. no clues

pretty sure google images will find it

Found that one with a search for "two railroad bridges tunnel". Thought it might be close to home for you too.

Here's one that is not mine and will show in Google search images!

Tunis is correct. You're up.

Wife and I visited this spot some years ago. Everyone has seen it, probably numerous times on the big and little screens.

BTW, sorry, I know it's not a skyline with buildings as I think the OP expected. I'm really short on pics - I keep telling myself not to look at this thread

 

[Kharnynb]

vazquez rocks.

easy search...star trek rock formation

 

[passedpawn]

That be it. When we were there, The Flintstone Movie set was there. It was Bedrock.

You're up.

In behalf of kharny, what we're looking at is the fully-rigged steel ship AF Chapman moored onto the pier of the Skeppsholmen islet in front of the Grand hotel Stockholm. If the angle would be wider we'd see the Kungsslotten, or the king's castle just to the left of the picture.

Well, since you say I got it, I guess I'll go ahead even though your fellow Finlander hasn't officially said so yet.

 

[Newsman]

Here we go. This will (hopefully) be harder than my last one. Please name the location. For bonus points, give me the name of the bridge and for triple bonus points, briefly explain the significance of the bridge.

 

[passedpawn]

Sharpsburg MD, Burnside's Bridge, Confederates held off the union army at this bridge during the Battle of Antietam (civil war)

 

[Brewenstein]

Darn it. Thought it might be civil war related, but couldn't find it quick enough.
