Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[MaxStout]

Not Amsterdam.
Hint: It's in Europe, but not on the continent.

 

[pursuit0fhoppiness]

Copenhagen

 

[MaxStout]

Sorry, not Copenhagen. It's not in continental Europe, and it's a much smaller city.

 

[TheMadKing]

Cork Ireland?

 

[MaxStout]

Not Cork, but the country is correct.

 

[pursuit0fhoppiness]

Limerick?

 

[MaxStout]

Not Limerick.

 

[MaxStout]

OK, better give another hint. It's a small city on the western side of Ireland (Republic).

 

[pursuit0fhoppiness]

Galway?

 

[MaxStout]

Not Galway, but you're very close. Head a little farther north...

 

[aurora_colony_cider]

Ha. Sligo. My old haunt. I'm from just up the road before I moved out West (where they'll appreciate me!). Thanks for the memories, MaxStout.

 

[MaxStout]

We have a winner! I was worried I would have to keep giving clues until someone got there by dead reckoning.

Glad to see it solved by someone from the area. I only spent a day there during an Ireland trip in 2006, but thoroughly enjoyed it. Beautiful, wild country, and the town was wonderful.

Went for a short visit to the Slieve League the next day (which involved a white-knuckle drive up a 1-lane cliffside road).

 

[aurora_colony_cider]

Very cool. So do I get to post the next skyline?

 

[aurora_colony_cider]

OK, let's try this one out for size. A simple one. Big beer town.

 

[MaxStout]

Boulder, CO?

 

[BlueEyesBrewing]

Fort Collins?

 

[pursuit0fhoppiness]

Eugene?

 

[MaxStout]

Bend, OR?

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

Golden, CO.

 

[triethylborane]

Definitely not Colorado. Those mountains look like the Cascades.

 

[aurora_colony_cider]

MaxStout got it. Bend it is. Those mountains are, in fact, the Cascades. Well done, sir.

 

[MaxStout]

One from a trip a few years ago.

 

[jack13]

somewhere in Germany?

 

[arturo7]

Kohln aka Cologne

 

[MaxStout]

It's in Germany, but not Koln.

Smaller city.

 

[Bilsch]

Rothenburg

 

[MaxStout]

Rothenburg

That's it!

Your turn.

 

[Bilsch]

I knew I'd stood in that same spot, took me a minute to remember where. This one might be a bit tougher...

 

[arturo7]

Shanghai

 

[Bilsch]

No, this place has about 23 million fewer people.
