Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[jack13]

I thought it was the backdrop for the Argonath/Pillars of the Kings from LOTR (Fellowship), which seems to be this Karawau Gorge, so if it's not that it I'm stumped.

More recent movie than that.

Milford Sound, NZ.

Milford Sound, NZ.

Correct, as seen in Alien Covenant.

 

[pvpeacock]

Been there. It’s gorgeous (pun intended). I’m out of town and will try to post later today

[jack13]

Feels like Switzerland

EDIT: I don't think it matters, but I suppose I should guess a city. Lucerne.

 

[Rodent]

given the direction that the cars are driving in the rotary, I'd say this is in Great Britain somewhere ... maybe Wales?

I’m guessing it’s nowhere near there.

 

[pvpeacock]

Not Switzerland or Wales

Cars on the left only narrows it down to 76 countries.

Cars driving on the left on the roundabout.
I don't recognise it, and orange trains suggests not UK.
Lush green grass and general greenness suggests it's rainy.
Random knot garden suggests western European influence, which with driving on left suggests British links.
Train network implies a bigger country than say the Falklands.
Architecture looks Flemish influenced - authentic, random, or just a young country with no strong architectural tradition?
Are they black bricks, painted black, or is it a black stone like basalt? If the latter, that implies volcanic origins.

So - New Zealand again?

Edit - thinking about it, would the Flemish style be a nod to WWI perhaps?

Well there's a big rugby stadium in the picture too...

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Not immediately obvious that's what it is though. Presumably built/upgraded as a host city for the 2011 World Cup?

Looks quite a big stadium but not Eden Park, railway looks small in relation. So it's going to be one of those smaller cities like Hamilton?

 

[JB_Brewing2]

Dunedin, NZ?

 

[pvpeacock]

Dunedin NZ is correct.

 

[JB_Brewing2]

This should set a new speed record for correct response:

 

[JB_Brewing2]

...or not.

 

[drchris83]

Venice?

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Is there meant to be a mountain behind that cloud? In which case Fuji, so Tokyo?

Not Italy nor Japan. Italian architect though.

 

[JB_Brewing2]

Hint: Was used as a prison and execution ground approx. 100 years ago; now a museum.

 

[govner1]

Turkey?

 

[JB_Brewing2]

Sorry, not Turkey.

Hint: This city has a world famous museum but not to be confused the museum housed in this structure.

 

[pvpeacock]

St. Petersburg?

 

[JB_Brewing2]

St. Petersburg?

100% correct! You're up.

Cool! From where, the Fed Reserve building?

[pvpeacock]

A restaurant called Manhatta

If that's a national flag centre-right, then the only flags I can think of with multiple blue stripes like that are Cuba, Greece and Uruguay, and it looks like it must be Uruguay.

So somewhere in Montevideo?

Montevideo 'tis.

I somehow didn't notice the flag unti after I posted it.

Your turn!

 

[jack13]

Northern Brewer, you're up.

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Sorry for the delay, I've been on the road.

I assume this one will need a clue, but let's give you a go without.

 

[BruceH]

Chernobyl

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Nope - you're pretty cold.
