Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[InspectorJon]

Bavaria yes

 

[InspectorJon]

Somewhere near the Tyrolean border

If the Tyrolean border is the southern border of Germany then yes it is near there.

 

[smcinco]

Berchtesgaden?

 

[BruceH]

Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany. That's the Zugspitze in the background.

 

[InspectorJon]

Close to there but not Garmisch-Partenkirchen. One might want to fiddle around in this town.

 

[Gulo_gulo]

Is it in a town with a fiddle factory "in the midst of the forest"?

Edit: and yes I googled 'German violin maker towns'--so don't give me the 'win' if someone else can guess the actual town name without googling it too...

It is my understanding that your google search terms are appropriate and lawful. Am I incorrect?

 

[InspectorJon]

He never actually said the name of the town. I don't know how anyone else one would get the name of this place unless they had been there recently. The picture below is another hint for the masses if @Gulo_gulo doesn't want to name the town.

These are the rules, admittedly "or any other method" is ambiguous:

4. This is an honor system here so let's keep it fair and fun for everyone. No cheating by using SEARCH GOOGLE FOR IMAGE or looking at the IMAGE URL, or any other method.

My interpretation of gulo gulo's response was he/she knew the answer after searching on google but thought he/she couldn't reveal the name of the "town" after a google search. My understanding is that use of the image itself is inappropriate not a google search of terms or descriptors.

 

[Gulo_gulo]

Yeah thanks for the clarifications. I didn't think it was violating rules, but thought it was unfair to swoop in and name it since I hadn't been involved in narrowing it down. But sounds like no one else is committing either...

So Mittenwald it is?

 

[InspectorJon]

So Mittenwald it is

You are up.

 

[Gulo_gulo]

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Wild guess, Powell River, BC, Canada?

 

[Gulo_gulo]

No but correct vicinity of North america

 

[JB_Brewing2]

Victoria, BC?

 

[Gulo_gulo]

No, Victoria is a lot bigger. And note that i didn't confirm B.C., just that it's on the Pacific side of North America.

 

[InspectorJon]

Glacier bay area?

 

[Gulo_gulo]

Correct State.

 

[InspectorJon]

So it looks like it’s some town on the inside passage in Alaska.

 

[Gulo_gulo]

It does look that way

 

[pvpeacock]

Yakutat?

 

[Gulo_gulo]

No a long way south. Inside passage.

 

[Gulo_gulo]

No one has ever climbed the northwest face of the mountain on the far left background.

 

[JB_Brewing2]

Petersburg, AK?

 

[Gulo_gulo]

Petersburg, AK?

Yes, it's Petersburg. You're up!

 

[JB_Brewing2]

Yes, it's Petersburg. You're up!

Here's one:

 

[Gulo_gulo]

Looks like eastern Europe to me, maybe Romania. Ploiesti? (I looked at a map and it's near some hills...)

 

[Pkrd]

Barcelona

 

[JB_Brewing2]

Barcelona

You got it! You're up.

 

[Gulo_gulo]

That's too funny. I think I've been in that area of Barcelona with the palace and the waterfall features but wow the picture did not trigger my memory!
