Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[duncan.brown]

That style of building looks like Edinburgh to me.

 

[D.B.Moody]

Edinburgh is correct. A close off the Royal Mile, You're up @duncan.brown.

 

[duncan.brown]

Ok, not much of a skyline in this picture (taken just now from a train), but should be easy for some kegerator builders around here.

 

[D.B.Moody]

Well, I don't keg, but I can read the writing on the wall:
West Drayton, Middlesex, UK

Also, I had to answer because it feels sort of naughty to type "Middlesex."

Are you on a visit to home?

 

[duncan.brown]

@D.B.Moody is correct. It is indeed West Drayton, home of John Guest, “the push fit people” and tubing connector suppliers to many HBTers. The end of the West Drayton station platform is just to the left.

Yes, been back home to help my parents with a few things. Short trip, but I did make it to a cask mark pub that dates to 1380 for a couple of pints of real ale last night. Can’t complain!

And Middlesex is definitely not the most ridiculous sounding place name in these isles… you’re up!

 

[D.B.Moody]

I don't envy you the reason for your trip, but having a properly served pint of real ale in an historic pub is a delight.

This is from 1989:

Looks like the Old State House in Boston, MA.

 

[D.B.Moody]

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

If @Ogilthorpe2 wants to re-post this, I'm happy to give up my turn:

I guessed Jackson Hole, WY and @pvpeacock guessed Salt Lake City, UT.

 

[Andres Falconer]

And what about Colorado Springs?

 

[dirkomatic]

Boise, Idaho?

 

[Andres Falconer]

Have we lost @Ogilthorpe2 ?

 

[VApatriot]

I haven't played in a while, or had any correct guesses so please don't get too mad at me. I thought I'd just put this one out there for fun.

I'm currently sitting ~4 miles from where that picture was taken, in Big Spring Park.

 

[Ogilthorpe2]

Have we lost @Ogilthorpe2 ?

Sorry, had to work for a few days…

Here it is again. A natural skyline, and my trusty steed.

Not one of the previous guesses was right? Or close? Any feedback?

Not Salt Lake, Jackson Hole, Boise, or Colorado Springs. all in the ballpark region wise. It is in the U.S. Mountain West.

It is near the entrance to one of the most popular national parks, and the most prominent peak is named after an Native American who was featured on this coin…

Bozeman, Montana

 

[D.B.Moody]

Sounds like Bozeman Yellowstone International Airport.
Edit: and it looks like 3 Dawg Night beat me to it.

 

[Ogilthorpe2]

Bozeman, Montana

winner, winner, chicken dinner.

 

[Andres Falconer]

Glad we sorted this out. And @3 Dawg Night won both extra credit challenges!

 

[3 Dawg Night]

So, am I up now? I've lost track.

 

[Andres Falconer]

Double duty!

 

[3 Dawg Night]

OK, I think someone will get this one pretty quickly. I didn't take this picture, but my wife and I recently visited this area for our first no-kids vacation in forever.

 

[duncan.brown]

That would be Central Park, New York, New York.

Syracuse University was bequeathed a mansion house at 11 E 61st St, which is an awesome place to stay when I have business in the city.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

@duncan.brown has it! The wife and I had never visited NYC, so we gave it a whirl. There's a lot going on, and it was a fun trip, but a lot of the NYC stereotypes were true as well. We got the full New York experience when the homeless guy across from us on the subway stood up, dropped his pants, and remained that way for the remainder of the trip. Needless to say, he had that end of the train car to himself pretty quickly. Central Park was amazing. It was like stepping into another world, and it was a literal breath of fresh air.

You're up, @duncan.brown!

 

[VApatriot]

@3 Dawg Night - well, you knew you were right. We just got here last week, love it here so far, waaaaaaay better than SE Michigan to us. Sweet Home AL!
