Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[bruce_the_loon]

Brisbane, Australia?

 

[DuncB]

No sorry Bruce. You're too warm there!

 

[Pkrd]

Castle point?
Whoops Realised that's in New Zealand.

And it doesn’t have a castle.

 

[DuncB]

Well I heard there was a place called the Castle North of it.

 

[InspectorJon]

There seems to be several locations known as The Castle in New Zealand. Is New Zealant the right country?

 

[DuncB]

No, North of New Zealand

 

[3 Dawg Night]

How about Melbourne?

 

[DuncB]

Well done @3DawgNight, it's a view from the Rialto tower. Taken in 2000.

You are up.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

This one is maybe a little more obscure. I'm presently visiting here for the weekend.

Montgomery County Courthouse, Clarksville,TN
I believe the ribbon and POW/MIA flag reflect the proximity of Ft. Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Not too obscure for @D.B.Moody! Clarksville is correct! It's a great little town less than an hour from Nashville. Check out Black Horse Brewery for beer and pizza if ever you're in town.

The modern housing feels Mediterranean and mid-20th century - but probably not former Warsaw Pact?
So one of the PIGS countries or France?

Bridge is weird - those Gothic arches can't possibly be Roman, and you'd expect a rail bridge to have signs of pylons, but seems the wrong era to have been built for road traffic - so is it a canal bridge or aqueduct? Feels wrong to have Gothic arches in Greece or Italy, so further west?

 

[D.B.Moody]

Good thinking, @Northern_Brewer.

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Well all I can say is that I've spent a fair bit of time in southern France and SW Spain and I think I'd remember a bridge like that, so it's either in the Perpignan-Murcia bit or west of Seville. Beyond that, I've not got a clue.

 

[D.B.Moody]

Walking around this city could be challenging at times:

 

[3 Dawg Night]

I'm going to guess Warsaw, Poland, based on the "P" on the back of that Smart car.

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Nah, Poland is PL, Portugal is P. And recepCAO (on the bar sign on the above the Smart car) with a ~ is a very Portuguese word-ending.

Never been to Portugal, but I'd assume there's too much "old town" for it to be anywhere on the Algarve, and we've already seen the famous bridges of Porto, so I guess that leaves Lisbon?

 

[D.B.Moody]

Yes, it is Lisbon. The aqueduct in the first picture is from the 18th century, and it is impressive.. You're up @Northern_Brewer.

 

[Northern_Brewer]

I've kinda got my hands full at the moment, if someone who hasn't posted any/many skylines before wants a go - otherwise I can do one in 2-3 days.

 

[kh54s10]

11 days? I will give it a go.

 

[bracconiere]

well i lurk this thread, and at least this one the country is obvious!

(i'm trying to figure, red? is that east or west coast?)

edit but that sign looks like they drive on the left and the malaysian flag is pretty similar....

 

[D.B.Moody]

Ponce de Leon Inlet, Florida.

 

[kh54s10]

You got it D.B.Moody, you're up.

 

[D.B.Moody]

This is from 1987:

 

[Pkrd]

WAG

Hong Kong?

 

[D.B.Moody]

Hong Kong it is. You're up @Pkrd.

 

[Pkrd]

Over thereabouts somewhere.

 

[DuncB]

Dammed if I know!

 

[pvpeacock]

Three Rivers Gorge Dam, China?

 

[Pkrd]

Three Rivers Gorge Dam, China?

Close enough, Three Gorges Dam.

You're up.

 

[pvpeacock]

 

[Konadog]

Home!

 

[pvpeacock]

Long Beach, California it is. Nice job Konadog. I was hoping the brand new Gerald Desmond Bridge would surprise everyone....but not a local. You're up.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

*edit* Apparently not Boston.

 

[Konadog]

Sorry, I watched that thing going up every day for the last few years.

This should be a bit harder

 

[pvpeacock]

Carpenteria, CA?

 

[Konadog]

Correct coast, close but no.

 

[pvpeacock]

I meant Carpenteria

 

[Konadog]

That's better!
