Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[duncan.brown]

The Virgin Islands?

 

[SouthBounds]

Probably more like Jamaica's architecture. Shot in the dark - Ocho Rios.

It is the Virgin Islands, @duncan.brown, but which one?

 

[duncan.brown]

Uh... the big American one?

Let me consult the judges...

Sorry, you'll have to be more specific.

St. Croix? I’ll admit to using a globe (3D analog version). Not sure if that’s allowed.

As long as you aren't putting the image into a search engine you're good. There is no way this thread would continue without searches for skylines of suspected cities, maps, or searching for commonalities and odd things that stick out.

I once spent days with a satellite map traveling along German canals to find a specific bridge in the picture. Not cheating, lots of research involved, and didn't do an image search.

***DING-DING-DING*** St. Croix it is! Christiansted to be exact. SWMBO and I honeymooned there back in 2004. Hurricane Ivan had passed through the Caribbean the week before, so we nearly had the place to ourselves. As I said, we drank a lot more rum than beer, but it was still a fantastic time. We haven't been back, but I'd like to. Our 20th anniversary is coming up in a few years, so who knows?

I always thought it was humorous/ironic that we honeymooned in the Virgin Islands.

You're up, @duncan.brown!

It has been said somewhere, possibly in song, that the Virgin Islands are anything but...

That looks very similar to Volos, Greece, but I don't think that's quite it.

Right continent, but far too warm.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Right continent, but far too warm.

Too warm as in geography or climate?

 

[schmurf]

Somewhere in the UK?

 

[duncan.brown]

Too warm as in climate. @schmurf has the right country.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

How about Liverpool?

 

[duncan.brown]

Not Liverpool. It's a town and not a city.

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Somewhere on the South coast? Plymouth maybe?

 

[duncan.brown]

Somewhere on the South coast? Plymouth maybe?

Definitely getting closer. I'll post some clues tonight if people are still stuck.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Penzance?

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Dartmouth?

 

[duncan.brown]

Dartmouth?

Ding ding ding! Dartmouth, Devon it is. My next clue was going to be "the Mayflower stopped here 400 years ago." @bruce_the_loon is up next!

As part of the Mayflower 400 celebrations, shops and business have been setting up displays of important moments in US history. For bonus points, can you guess which president this is?

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Here you go, one clue ahead of time. Grumpy doctors.

 

[duncan.brown]

I would say that we've not travelled too far from my post?

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Just under 100km as the crow flies.

 

[duncan.brown]

That's close enough to walk without wearing out my Doc Martens.

 

[bruce_the_loon]

And Wenn you get there, you can have a couple of Large ones. Are you going to call it or leave it for someone else to try?

 

[duncan.brown]

I'll let someone else have a go

 

[schmurf]

I'll guess you are referring to the TV series with Martin Clunes.... and the town where it's filmed. I have no idea which it is unfortunately

Google Fu again tells me Port Isaac.
