Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[govner1]

Mauritius it is! Actually considered part of the African continent.
You’re up

 

[schmurf]

Maybe easy...

 

[Pkrd]

Last flight out of there the plane did a loop around the city (just to add some time to to the 16hr flight I guess). It is staggering the size of that thing.

 

[SouthBounds]

Dubai, hello Burj Khalifa.

 

[Gulo_gulo]

I just threw up thinking about standing at a window near the top.

 

[schmurf]

Dubai indeed. Not sure who's next, @Pkrd seemed to know what it is but didn't write it. In capacity of .. whatever... I proclaim @SouthBounds, who actually named the place, the winner of this round.

[InspectorJon]

Is that the Mississippi river?

 

[SouthBounds]

Is that the Mississippi river?

Yes it is!

 

[SouthBounds]

Hint time - there are no roads to this place

 

[InspectorJon]

I spent 5 months is south Louisiana doing disaster inspections for the federal government. This picture reminded me of some of the places I visited south of New Orleans in Plaquemines Parish. I guess that’s South Pass Lighthouse.

Correct! Port Eads, one of my favorite places to fish. You are up @InspectorJon

 

[InspectorJon]

Try this.

 

[govner1]

Denver

 

[InspectorJon]

Denver

Wrong state.

 

[BruceH]

Austin?

 

[InspectorJon]

Austin it is. @BruceH you are up.

 

[BruceH]

 

[Pkrd]

Hamelin?

 

[BruceH]

Hamelin?

Yes it is Hamlin. It was about 100F at the time, only tourists ventured draussen.

You are up.

 

[Pkrd]

Well that was a WAG.

Here you go. Beer Town. USA.

 

[govner1]

North a lot and east a bit from there.

No mountains near Tampa [emoji38]

That’s it. You can work off a few beers with a pedal along the lake.

Galway?

 

[jack13]

Galway?

Right country.

 

[bruce_the_loon]

There once was a bridge in a picture
With street lights and many a fixture
In a known location
From summer vacation
With Shannon, Thomond and John's structure

Limerick

 

[jack13]

Limerick

Haha.

So here's this guy from Delaware

Of his skyline you're seemingly well aware

He found it sublime

So put it online

Despite having never even been there

 

[mikeasu]

Right country.

Ahhh, that's right. The bridge made me think of Galway, but now I remember that round keep being in Limerick.

 

[InspectorJon]

So who's next? The person that wrote a Limerick or the person who wrote the word Limerick?

 

[schmurf]

I think @bruce_the_loon should get the credit...

 

[bruce_the_loon]

I'll take it. Here you go.

 

[Gulo_gulo]

Complete guess and I haven't been there, Nagano Japan?

 

[schmurf]

Complete guess and I haven't been there, Nagano Japan?

somewhere Asia or perhaps South America, something in the photo makes me hesitate about Japan though

 

[@RoyalGallon]

It has a South American feel to me - is it La Paz?

 

[bruce_the_loon]

RoyalGallon has it in one. Your turn.
