Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[SteveH aka shetc]

Yep, it's the Trip, with Nottingham Castle in the background. It's one of several pubs that claim to be the oldest in the UK, they claim to have been selling beer some 300 years before Columbus sailed.

This article gives a small flavour, don't you hate it when your haunted galleon is distracting from the chair that makes people pregnant?

You're up.

Damn, wish I've seen this sooner! I've had a few bevies there, including having to put a beer mat on top of my pint to keep bits of the old building out of it.

I deliberately posted late UK time, to give the cousins a chance!

@JB - yep, I'm pretty sure I know that one, but getting it within a minute of posting seems a bit unfair...

Spanish Steps- Piazza de Spagna

Spanish Steps- Piazza de Spagna

That's correct. One of the more crowded places in Rome. You're up.

Haha I would have got that one. My wife's cousin's are party animals and that picture of the Spanish Steps is looking exactly at their hotel that is the building that frames rhe right of the steps. That window of that building may actually be their room. Anyways by the end of the night there weren't a whole lot of people on those steps just us and the people selling wine in carts. People were using the steps as a restroom by late in the night.

Anyways I would like to stay in that hotel if I ever go back and I think America could learn a lot from that area. I loved how the young and old gather there and drink wine and communicate. Public transportation too. Here in America if you have a glass of wine too many your life is over. I really enjoyed the congregating over there. Whether it was the plaza mayor or spanish steps, or the walking area in munich.

Not St. Martin but same general area of the world.
I lived in Rome from 69-70 then made regular trips back in the late 90’s & early 2000’s.
My last visit was in 2007.

Key West

 

[govner1]

Not Key West

wow, you live in rome in 1969, what was that like? I knew that looked carribean, looks like bvi

 

[govner1]

Rome was and is great. Food, sites, weather, etc. As a student I could get lunch & dinner w/ wine for about 45 cents each per day!
Not BVI but warm.

I totally agree. Maybe the only slightly better place in the world I've been is Florence, just because it's cleaner.

 

[applescrap]

bonaire

 

[AZCoolerBrewer]

I’ve seen a picture of something very like that, though the cannon are painted and in better repair. Fort McHenry? Home of the star spangled banner?

 

[govner1]

Not Bonaire or Ft. McHenry.

 

[govner1]

Love Florence as well. My daughter lived there for a while during her college years.
If you want a quick trip to the suburbs around Rome for great food try Frascati & nearby towns like Grotta Ferata. Frascati is about 30 minutes by train west of Rome

Hints / look beyond the foreground!

 

[applescrap]

All I see is a cruise ship

 

[AZCoolerBrewer]

So I blew part of the picture up and scrutinized it for 15 minutes and finally realized it was a cisco container

 

[govner1]

Cruise ships and container ships.....

 

[applescrap]

miami, or cape Canaveral (is that the name of the city the cruise ships leave from in fl)

 

[govner1]

Not Cape Canaveral nor Miami. A bit too far west

 

[MaxStout]

Nassau?

 

[govner1]

Bingo! Fort Fincastle, built in 1793 to defend the port.

 

[MaxStout]

OK, here's the next one.

 

[govner1]

West Palm Beach

 

[MaxStout]

No.

 

[AJinJacksonville]

Minneapolis.
