Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[scaglikm]

or Trboje, not sure the correct spelling

 

[Persevalli]

or Trboje, not sure the correct spelling

Very close , but not there yet.

This city holds one of the most famous attractions of Slovenia.
One hour west you´re in North Italy.
One hour north you´re in South Austria.

Point of Inquiry: Is it against the thread rules to use Google for searches such as "Slovenia attractions" or "Slovenia river cities"? I think I have the answer, but I want to come by it honestly.

 

[schmurf]

According to the first post which sets up the rules, it's not cheating.

Thanks for the interpretation. I just didn't want to be "that guy."

My guess is Bled, specifically Lake Bled.

That´s the right answer, congratulations!

Now is your turn...

It's not against the rules to use word searches on the internet as long as you don't use something like "Search Google for image"

 

[InspectorJon]

The rules are simple:

1. The first person to correctly guess what skyline is posted will post a photo of a skyline that they choose, once the person confirms the guess is correct.

2. There are no limitations on where the city is or the size of the city. There are people from different countries on this forum so it will make it diverse.

3. If nobody can guess for an extended period such as a few days, then the poster can give hints to keep people guessing, or just reveal the answer and let someone else post.

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.

The last statement “or any other method” is a bit ambiguous. Perhaps we need a clarification from the OP @arnobg

 

[beermanpete]

I think it means any method that will read the subject image and search for it on the web.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Yeah, I didn't use Google image search. I Googled "Slovenia river cities" and "Slovenia top attractions," coupled with @Persevalli's other hints. If I'm judged to be out-of-order, I'll withdraw it. In the meantime...

This one has special significance this week. You're looking at the air traffic control tower for the world's busiest airport.

 

[pvpeacock]

Anchorage, AK.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Anchorage is incorrect.

 

[Pkrd]

Dubai.

Man, that sand is whiter than I remember.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Nope, not Dubai, although my tongue-in-cheek detector is pegged.

 

[InspectorJon]

If not for all the "white sand" I would have guessed Singapore by the description but I think I'll go with London Heathrow.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

It's not Singapore or London. @pvpeacock had the right country.

I guess I should clarify my hint. You're looking at the world's busiest airport, but only for one week out of every year, and in a normal year, it would be this week.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Time for another hint. They love them some Spotted Cow.

[3 Dawg Night]

I can't tell. Is @duncan.brown skipping me, or are you making your guess in a picture?

 

[duncan.brown]

Oh, sorry, I didn't reload and your last post was Solvena so I posted my image.

Your image is Oshkosh, WI. Awesome air show. I did my Ph.D. in Milwaukee.

Edit: and Dan Carey is one of my favorite brewers!

 

[3 Dawg Night]

No, worries, @duncan.brown, and Oshkosh it is! It is, indeed, an awesome air show! I flew in with my Dad for the first time when I was five, and I've made many trips since then. The latest was last year with my wife and kids.

The OSH tower becomes the busiest air traffic control tower in the world for one week out of every non-COVID year. For the other 51 weeks of the year, Atlanta-Hartsfield is the busiest airport in the world, with an average of 103 aircraft per hour. For the week of the EAA AirVenture fly-in and airshow, Oshkosh's Whitman Regional Airport handles an average of 238 aircraft per hour! The FAA staffs the fly-in with a cast of 64 all-star controllers from around the country. They'll actually land multiple aircraft on the same runway at the same time by clearing each aircraft to a different colored "dot" painted on the runway. It's an experience!

You're up, @duncan.brown!

 

[duncan.brown]

@3 Dawg Night the air show is an awesome experience. I've only ever taken off and landed with a friend flying at KSYR.

So, where was I when I took that picture on July 31, 2015?

 

[3 Dawg Night]

It's not Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles, is it?

 

[duncan.brown]

Wrong continent.

 

[govner1]

New Glarus, WI

 

[CKuhns]

Looks Mideast or in the Med - SWAG - Tel Aviv Israel

 

[duncan.brown]

Tel Aviv is closer than Los Angeles, but you're about 3000 km away.

 

[duncan.brown]

Here's a day time view of the same city.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Looks German, maybe? Munich?

 

[duncan.brown]

Closer!
