Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[Newsman]

I'll give you a little hint... right now that part of the country wouldn't be my first choice for a vacation.

Houston

 

[Newsman]

Houston

Close enough. Its a suburb of Houston called The Woodlands

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

Okay let's get this rolling again.

 

[MagicMatt]

Horseshoe Bend, Arizona! Been there - there's a short trail to the rim from a parking lot that you can't really see in the top center of this pic.

You got it, your up! Hoping to visit that area this fall.

 

[MagicMatt]

OK here we go.

 

[triethylborane]

Looks like the Appalachian region, maybe somewhere in WV

 

[MagicMatt]

It is along the Appalachian, but not WV (too far south).

 

[Newsman]

Maryland?

 

[MagicMatt]

Nope, but you're within 100 miles of this town.

 

[Buck3ye_Brandon]

Took me a while, had to search for autumn tree tours and came across Jim Thorpe PA?

 

[MagicMatt]

You got it! You're up.

 

[Buck3ye_Brandon]

That last one was tough. Hope this one stumps for a few..

 

[triethylborane]

mountainous
tropical
moderate density housing - not an island
moderate property offsets - "
no pools
large single family homes - extended family
LHD - rules out former commonwealth countries/asia (this isn't china, period)
stadium/arena left and mid level of picture
use of green lighting in separate places in picture
no flags - damn
white box van mid/left appears to be of NA origin, just looks like a Chevrolet

 

[jack13]

San Jose, Costa Rica?

 

[pvpeacock]

Medellin, Columbia

 

[Buck3ye_Brandon]

Medellin, Columbia

South East of there.

 

[pvpeacock]

Bogota?

 

[triethylborane]

Somewhere in Brazil

 

[Buck3ye_Brandon]

Somewhere in Brazil

Yes it is in Brazil.

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

Clues or something.

 

[Goofynewfie]

Sao Paulo (sp?)

 

[Brondon]

Might it be Rio de Janeiro?

 

[MaxStout]

I'm trying to narrow this down. Looks like a medium-sized city, unless there is a lot more of it outside the view in the pic. So not thinking it's one of the big ones, like Rio, Brasilia, Sao Paulo. Mountainous--that leaves out most of the Amazon basin. No ocean in view, so not likely coastal. Still, a lot of the country remains, and lots of mountain cities.

OTOH, it could be a nearby city from a major one. Nova Iguacu?

Day 17.

Somebody post another pic.

[HarborTownBrewing]

I'll guess Telluride, CO.

and THANK YOU @beermanpete

 

[arturo7]

Ogden, UT

 

[triethylborane]

I'll guess Telluride, CO.

and THANK YOU @beermanpete

Not the poster, but you are correct. The switchback road visible thanks to the snow is Black Bear Pass, which is a great 4wd road. Its particularly shaky if you take BBP into Telluride, slick rock and steep descents.

 

[beermanpete]

Yes, it is Telluride. CO. Black Bear Pass was quite the challenge in a VW based Dune Buggy.

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

Alright, let's get this rolling again.

 

[pvpeacock]

I don't know, but it looks like my kind of place.

 

[20grit]

Mackinac

 

[triethylborane]

Fudge city

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

Mackinac

Winner. And a bonus point for the appropriate spelling.

 

[triethylborane]

Yes, it is Telluride. CO. Black Bear Pass was quite the challenge in a VW based Dune Buggy.

Did BBP with my father's FJ40, thought that was pretty sketchy. A manx would be a challenge, to say the least. :rockin:

 

[20grit]

Will have one posted when I am home from work.
