Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[kh54s10]

The clock tower / steeple in the background is it the Market Church in Hannover, Germany?
- Thought it looked familiar from a trip taken as a chaperone with a bunch of high school kids in 2004 - (Looked it up on Wikipedia and pretty sure that's it.)

I believe I found a shot from the same place as posted.

In a search for the Market Church in Hannover.

@CKuhns has got it, it's a view down Kramerstraße from Holzmarkt taken towards the Marktkirche. You're up.

All that wood looks "new" in an old style, so somewhere that did not avoid the attention of the RAF in WWII?

Indeed. A trip to Hannover was my first visit to Germany. I recall thinking that the mix of old buildings and 50s and 60s architecture looked strangely familiar... It's a greatly underrated city to visit. I always have a lot of fun there.

 

[CKuhns]

Here's one I have visited for work more than I care to admit.

 

[duncan.brown]

Toledo, OH?

 

[CKuhns]

@duncan.brown - Right country wrong State.

 

[CKuhns]

Time for a hint...

This city was home to one of the most celebrated Tejano music artists of all-time.

 

[kenmcchord]

Sounds like Corpus Christi, TX

 

[CKuhns]

Corpus Christi Texas it is @kenmcchord You are up!

 

[kenmcchord]

This shouldn't be too hard. Like to use a picture I took rather than a google image.

Gettysburg, PA

 

[kenmcchord]

Gettysburg, PA

Yep, that took like two minutes...but I'd like to add you'd be looking at the Appalachian Trail ridge in the distance.

3 Dawg Night is up!

 

[3 Dawg Night]

This one also shouldn't be too terribly hard.

 

[kenmcchord]

Total guess...Pittsburgh PA?

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Not Pittsburgh.

 

[Pkrd]

Philadelphia?

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Not Philadelphia (or Pennsylvania, for that matter).

 

[duncan.brown]

New York City?

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Pittsburgh to Philadelphia to New York City is getting progressively cooler.

 

[kenmcchord]

Atlanta GA

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Atlanta GA

Yep! That's a view of the Atlanta skyline from the top of Stone Mountain.

@kenmcchord, you're up!

 

[kenmcchord]

Well...sticking with a theme

Shouldn't be to difficult, another shot from my personal photo roll.

 

[duncan.brown]

Going with New York again.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

I'm going with Boston.

 

[kenmcchord]

@duncan.brown is correct. That's the New York City skyline as viewed from the Garrett Mountain Reservation in Clifton NJ. Our nephew did a little rehab stint in Patterson NJ (he's doing great now, amazing the difference a few years can make!) and whenever we would travel up to visit him we'd take him hiking up there.

Duncan, you're up!

 

[duncan.brown]

I had to use a stock photo for this one, as I don't have any good pictures of this city in my album.

 

[CKuhns]

Germany or Austria - Guessing Germany - Cologne - (The Kaisers sign right - is a grocery store chain centered around Duseldorf and Cologne)

 

[duncan.brown]

Germany is the correct country @CKuhns, but this city was in the former DDR and not West Germany.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Dresden?

 

[duncan.brown]

It’s not in Saxony.

 

[CKuhns]

OK- So now that I looked at about 100 churches in East Germany I'm going with Potsdam, Germany. (The church looks like St Peter & Paul's) The street has the Brandenburg Gate at one end and the Church at the other.
