Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[duncan.brown]

I guess I thought the PABST sign was the Brewhouse Inn...

The Inn is in the building with the boil kettles on 10th St. The Pabst sign itself spans W Juneau Ave from the old malting building (which is now being renovated as apartments) to Jackson’s Blue Ribbon pub (which unfortunately didn’t survive COVID).

It could be Scotland - but no doubt is actually Canada or somewhere - and two bridges at the end of a piece of water makes me think of the Tay bridges, so as a complete WAG the Tay near Dundee?

 

[dirkomatic]

Great guess, but not Scotland and not Canada. In North America, though.

 

[D.B.Moody]

Looks like a damn big bridge, so I'll guess Big Dam Bridge,Two Rivers Park, on the Arkansas River at Little Rock.

 

[dirkomatic]

Getting closer. In the United States for sure.

Not including these two bridges, there are six crossings for automobiles before the ocean.

This photo was taken facing upstream.

 

[dirkomatic]

Two of those crossings between this spot and the ocean are not considered to be over this pictured body of water.

would i be close to ask, is it starts in canada then crosses into the USA? like the columbia, then?

edit: i'd think astoria, but the lack of pine trees, i think east coast?

 

[dirkomatic]

Not the Columbia. Entirely in the USA... And, yes, east coast... That should narrow it down pretty well.

 

[D.B.Moody]

Susquehanna River bridges between Wrightsville and Columbia, PA.

There you go! Taken from the Turkey Hill Overlook.

Good job @D.B.Moody! Your turn.

From 1990, here's another river valley that may be more familiar to beer drinkers:

 

[bracconiere]

did the romans ever cross it?

 

[dirkomatic]

Old Bridge in Heidelberg?

 

[D.B.Moody]

@bracconiere, I believe the answer would be "Yes, but. . " A frontier area back in the day, and, speaking of back in the day, I got D's in 10th grade Latin.
@dirkomatic, yes it is Heidelberg. Taken from the castle. You're up.

i thought dirk was right from wiki, but i couldn't find the name of the castle (i saw the two white towers visible from the other side hiding behind the tree)

 

[dirkomatic]

I'll have to find some old phots and scan them... I'm running low on digital photos which can count as a skyline.

 

[D.B.Moody]

@bracconiere, my relationship with Roman history and Latin may be a bit spotty, but I met my wife when I sat behind her in 9th grade Latin class in 1957 when we were 14 years old. That took.

 

[bracconiere]

looking at the flags. south carolina, or wyoming? some sorta sports complex. honestly, couldn't google a picture of either state's.


but i'd imagine this will be easy for experienced players.....

 

[dirkomatic]

Great guesses. There are a ton of blue state flags. This one is neither South Carolina nor Wyoming.

 

[bruce_the_loon]

That be the Richmond Coliseum in the state of Virginia. Nice tie-in back to the Latin discussions if that was intended.

Was going to try and guess a date of the photo, but Virginia has flown the state flag at half-mast a dozen times this year alone, so no chance of that.

Posting in wrong thread. Not even drinking. Maybe I should be.

That's it. It was a nice coincidence that the Latin discussion happened and I might have worked that into a clue if necessary.

It was taken in June of 2017 from the VCU hospital. Honestly, I don't know why the flag wasn't at full mast. Kind of had other things going on and this photo was a slight diversion during some down time.

You're up @bruce_the_loon

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Don't know if I should insist on the correct name or the popular name.

 

[dirkomatic]

Yeah... I really know this one. I'm a caver and know a bit about karst formations; my next photo will be a karst formation, I just don't have it on my phone. This one is pretty famous. I'll bow out and let someone else get it and get some of my pics in a row before I guess another.

 

[D.B.Moody]

Actually, that water doesn't look very shaken or stirred. I'm with @dirkomatic and bowing out too.

I'll accept that, well-played sir. One wonders how much mourning there will be when it inevitably topples over

I resisted saying “James Bond Island.”

This one was taken January 2000.
