Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[Northern_Brewer]

Nah, nah - all yours! It was tough enough finding a photo for it, but it's such an interesting story (and not well-known in the West) that I allowed myself a cheat for one time.

Capital Records, Hollywood, CA.

 

[smcinco]

Damn you @beermanpete , you're too fast! Former workplace, good times! Great rooftop concerts and beers! Was introduced to home-brew by a coworker there many moons ago.

 

[beermanpete]

Here is one that will likely be easy.

 

[govner1]

Denver

 

[beermanpete]

Not Denver.

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Los Angeles?

 

[beermanpete]

Yes, @bruce_the_loon, it is Los Angeles, you're up.

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Here you go. Full panorama from my last visit.

 

[InspectorJon]

Is that the Columbia River?

 

[BruceH]

Haven't been there for a long time but that pic reminds me of Vancouver, BC and that's my guess.

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Is that the Columbia River?

Nope.

Vancouver it is, panorama taken from across Burrard Inlet standing at Lonsdale Quay on the North Shore.

Continuing with the view from the water theme.

London?

 

[BruceH]

London?

Not London. Is in Europe.

All that copper on the roof isn't particularly British, it's far more Germanic - and the general vibe is rather German.

Obviously rich enough to support significant new buildings - and either didn't care about what was there before or was badly hit in wartime.

Looks like there's the odd heavy barge in the picture, suggesting it's a port at the outflow of a major river.

Hamburg?

Correct!

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Sorry for the delay, had some things going on. Try this :

 

[pvpeacock]

San Luis Obispo, CA?

 

[Northern_Brewer]

No - but luke-warm I guess, on a global scale at least.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Fairbanks, Alaska?

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Right direction from SLO, but too far so you've ended up cooler.

 

[beermanpete]

Salt Lake City, UT?

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Without looking at a map, probably similarly warmish.

 

[SouthBounds]

Billings, Montana

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Definitely warmer - but not hot.

 

[CKuhns]

Red Bluff, CA?

 

[BruceH]

Those hills remind me of eastern Montana or Wyoming.

Sheridan, WY?
