Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[D.B.Moody]

Yes it is. You're up @duncan.brown.

Edit in response to @Northern_Brewer's post below: And it's real beauty is inside.

King's Chapel is an interesting building as its royal patronage means it had access to quarries that were unique to it and it has a geological "fault" in it - going back to what we were talking about the other day, it started being built with whitish magnesian limestone from Tadcaster, but was finished in yellower oolitic limestone from Northamptonshire.

Here you go:

Okay, Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY

@D.B.Moody has correctly figured out that I've run out of pictures, so I took this while walking from my office and my parking garage and posted it

The most distinctive building is the Hall of Languages at the back, constructed from local Onondaga Limestone and supposedly the inspiration for the Addam's Family home in the eponymous TV show.

You're up @D.B.Moody

 

[D.B.Moody]

Well it was easy for me because my younger son got his master's degree at Syracuse.
Here's one from 2014:

Not from my office or parking garage. I haven't worked since 2006. This was from a hotel roof.

Cordoba, Spain

 

[D.B.Moody]

Ole! Cordoba it is. You're up @dirkomatic.

 

[dirkomatic]

That city just LOOKS Spanish....

 

[dirkomatic]

I'm getting old... I don't *THINK* I've used this one before.... That's not a clue in any way. I just can't believe this has been sitting on my camera and I haven't used it...

Tröegs brewery. I googled "giant foeders" and it came up. Is that cheating?

Not cheating at all... But I didn't think it would be that quick. Great job!

Tröegs, it is.

You're up @shetc

Providence, RI

 

[D.B.Moody]

Is that Bruno on that Providence Place tower? Shouldn't he be talked down from there?

Ok... That went over my head. Care to explain?

 

[D.B.Moody]

Bruno the Bear is the mascot of Brown University which is in Providence RI. I thought that that thing on the tower looked like a big bear. Don't you? I think the tower is the top of the building "Providence Place." We need to ask @shetc if this picture was taken as part of some prank.

Gotcha... I see it now, but it took a little squinting.

Providence, RI

I knew this one was going to be easy It was taken from my hotel window at Homebrew Con.

 

[dirkomatic]

I didn't take this photo:

Guessing: US Air Force Academy in Boulder, CO?

 

[dirkomatic]

Not Colorado

 

[3 Dawg Night]

OK, then I have the answer, but I'll give someone else a guess before I go again.

I say go for it if you have a photo ready

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Actually, I'm not sure I have it now, so I'll throw out another guess. Based on the fact that you're in Virginia, I guess Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, VA (but I don't think I'm right).

 

[dirkomatic]

Not VMI

 

[dirkomatic]

I didn't expect this one to take so long, especially after duncan.brown's photo

 

[SteveH aka shetc]

That photo was Syracuse, NY so I guess West Point.

 

[dirkomatic]

Not West Point.

I meant that, as Duncan's picture was one he took on his way to work. I would have to take a slight detour, but I could have taken this pic on my way to work in 2017. And like his, it is a university campus... Hell, it's even in the same athletic conference

 

[dirkomatic]

Messed up and posted this... Ignore this one
