Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[pvpeacock]

Bingo! My folks and most of my siblings live in the Destin area, so I've been there a few times myself. You're up SouthBounds.

 

[SouthBounds]

Not much skyline here so I'll throw in a clue quick if you need one.

 

[duncan.brown]

Tucson, AZ?

 

[SouthBounds]

Tucson, AZ?

Close but "sunnier".

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Looks a lot like Scottsdale, AZ.

 

[CKuhns]

Looks like "Old Town" - Albuquerque NM to me...

 

[SouthBounds]

You guys are real close. Known as the "sunniest place on earth".

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Ah. That'd be beautiful Yuma, AZ!

 

[SouthBounds]

You got it! @3 Dawg Night is up.

Let's go to the other end of the spectrum.

 

[CKuhns]

Google search for least amount of daylight... Rjukan Norway (At least until they placed the mirrors)

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Good job, @CKuhns! You're up!

 

[CKuhns]

Okay not really a skyline... might disqualify me as i may not be following the rules. More of a geographic location.

 

[duncan.brown]

I believe that’s the NOAA observatory at the South Pole

 

[CKuhns]

Nope not the South pole.

 

[duncan.brown]

Ok, now I’m confused. I was pretty sure it’s was the South Pole (I had a colleague who worked BICEP2 which is next door to NOAA) and the picture looks identical to the one on NOAA’s web site:

https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/obop/
Must be same modular building somewhere else?

I think Ckuhns found a mis-labled copy of that photo, the flags and signs are identical to the one on the NOAA's website.

 

[duncan.brown]

That was my other thought

 

[CKuhns]

Was obviously mis-labeled was designated as the North Pole @duncan.brown your up! ( Sorry for the cofusion)

 

[duncan.brown]

Here's a picture taken while I was at a conference with the aforementioned BICEP2 colleague (although, I've never been to the South Pole).

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Somewhere in Vietnam, I think. Saigon?

 

[duncan.brown]

Right country, wrong city.

 

[smcinco]

Hanoi

 

[duncan.brown]

Yep, Hanoi from a trip in 2006. @smcinco you're up!

Damn did I toss a wet blanket on the thread?

 

[schmurf]

This happens to me too many times... I know I recognise a place (or think I do) but can't name it in detail. I was with work to India for some 5-6 years ago and we visited a place looking very much like that. A temple? But do I remember anything more? nope...

Yah lots of spectacular buildings in India. The above pic has 2...

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Ah, I'll jump on the hints and guess Agra?

@3 Dawg Night got it, you're up!
