Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[dirkomatic]

And a daylight shot from a different angle at the same location, from 2015:

 

[D.B.Moody]

That's Kiptopeke's Breakwater, Kiptopeke's State park, Cape Charles, VA.

 

[dirkomatic]

Yes, it is. Nice little park for camping.

Your turn, @D.B.Moody

 

[D.B.Moody]

Those sunken concrete ships put me in mind of this place, but it's not concrete sticking up here. This is from 2017:

 

[dirkomatic]

Is that part of the Giant's Causeway in Ireland?

 

[D.B.Moody]

It is. A most unusual spot. You're up @dirkomatic.

 

[dirkomatic]

Back to the stadium theme...

I believe I have removed any easily identifiable markings from this photo. Taken in 2019.

 

[D.B.Moody]

Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA. (and Wells Fargo Center to the left)

 

[dirkomatic]

Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA. (and Wells Fargo Center to the left)

That's them! Citizen Bank Park is in the background.

Your turn again @D.B.Moody

 

[D.B.Moody]

Not a stadium, but a sports event took place here. That was long before I took this picture in 1990:

 

[dirkomatic]

Chamonix-Mont Blanc, France...

The name on the building helped

 

[D.B.Moody]

Chamonix it is. You're up @dirkomatic.

[D.B.Moody]

San Francisco. Thant's St. Ignatius Church in the background, Did we visit the university of San Francisco?

San Francisco. Thant's St. Ignatius Church in the background, Did we visit the university of San Francisco?

That's the place...

No we only visited 3 schools and we live in a town with a large university. His choice has been made and my pockets are empty.

This is actually a photo a friend took.

You're up @D.B.Moody

 

[D.B.Moody]

and my pockets are empty.i

They'll get emptier before it's over.

Here's another famous church & city from 1988:

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Edinburgh?

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Old Coventry cathedral in Coventry?

 

[D.B.Moody]

It is the Old Cathedral in Coventry. You're up @bruce_the_loon.

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Let's see how much of a challenge for the non-regulars this one is. The regulars should get it instantly.

 

[pvpeacock]

San Francisco, Alcatraz Prison

 

[dirkomatic]

I'm going to say Alcatraz...? Just a slightly different angle than the usual photos.

 

[bruce_the_loon]

You're both correct, but pvpeacock got there first by a minute.

 

[pvpeacock]

 

[3 Dawg Night]

That looks like the California coast, near Monterey, maybe?

 

[pvpeacock]

Yes, California, but not Monterey.

 

[Konadog]

That would be your home.

Point Vicente Lighthouse in Rancho Palos Verdes.

 

[pvpeacock]

I knew you would get it right away Kona. You're up.

 

[Konadog]

Keeping with the lighthouse theme:

 

[Konadog]

Do we need a hint or is everyone out on a Friday night but me

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Hint us up, bro.

 

[Konadog]

Not in the USA, but is in the Northern Hemisphere... barely.

 

[Konadog]

OK, it's somewhat close to Phuket, start swiming

 

[duncan.brown]

I think it's Ko Lanta lighthouse in Thailand. Never been there, but I'm a Bond fan and The Man With The Golden Gun was filmed near there.

Edit: confirmed by perusing Lighthouses of Southern Thailand: West Coast which proves that there is a web page for basically anything.

 

[Konadog]

That's the place D.B Your up!

 

[duncan.brown]

After 18 months, I finally got out of Syracuse and have a new skyline picture! Thanks Moderna!

 

[dirkomatic]

Bristol Mountain?

 

[duncan.brown]

Bristol Mountain?

Nope, much further from Syracuse.

 

[InspectorJon]

Some ski area in America? Pretty small hill. Must be east of the Rockies.

 

[bracconiere]

if it helps anyone.

i'm guessing from a google search white pine ski resort?
