Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[Northern_Brewer]

Well we're obviously in one of the historic bits of Russia or thereabouts, so let's say Novgorod.

 

[D.B.Moody]

Yes, Russia, but not Novgorod. (Newer that that. ) Here's another site in this city:

When I said historic, I didn't mean ancient. Boston, MA, is older than this Russian city. Another picture:

Saint Petersburg, verified by my Russian colleague

 

[D.B.Moody]

It is. We were there in 2012. Amazing restoration work on the palaces.
You're up @schmurf.

 

[schmurf]

I haven't been here myself, so it's a photo from the web

Surfers Paradise, Australia?

 

[schmurf]

Well I guess that's more or less right, as I understand it Surfers Paradise is a beach by the city in question, Gold Coast. You're up @pvpeacock .

I was in Surfers Paradise in 1980 and my buddy and I went to a beer garden there. It was obviously not as built up back then. When we left the beer garden, I agreed to drive us back to Burleigh Heads where we were staying. Because I'd have a few beers at the beer garden, I was worried that I would accidently drive on the wrong side of the road. As I pulled out of the parking lot, I was very careful to stay to the left side of the road. Nevertheless, the people driving the other way kept honking their horns and yelling at me. After a few blocks, we realized I was driving the wrong way on a one way street. Oops.

Here you go.

Cancun

 

[pvpeacock]

Good guess, but wrong ocean.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Looks like it could be an older picture of Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, Hawaii.

 

[pvpeacock]

Correct ocean but wrong beach/city/state.

 

[InspectorJon]

San Diego?

 

[pvpeacock]

Not San Diego.

 

[InspectorJon]

If it is not Hawaii and it is a Pacific Ocean state then it seems like it must be in Southern California.

 

[pvpeacock]

Not So. Cal.

 

[InspectorJon]

Mexico?

 

[pvpeacock]

Wrong Country

 

[InspectorJon]

Tamuning, Guam

 

[pvpeacock]

Tumon Bay, Guam, correct. Nice job. Inspector Jon is up.

 

[InspectorJon]

 

[schmurf]

Marrakesh?

 

[InspectorJon]

Wrong continent.

 

[govner1]

Alhambra

 

[InspectorJon]

Not Alhambra, I not sure where Alhambra is.

 

[govner1]

The Alhambra is in Grenada, Spain

 

[InspectorJon]

Not in Europe

 

[InspectorJon]

There have been a lot of wars fought over this city. The picture is of the ancient walled portion of the city.
