Name That Skyline - Picture Game

Los Angeles has inversion layers sometimes. Is this from Mt. Wilson? I don't see any transmitters but...

This is what I was thinking, but I wrote Whitney. Doh!! Yeah, the transmitters could be behind this location looking out towards San Bernardino.

 

[pvpeacock]

Big Bear?

 

[duncan.brown]

I’ll give it to @beermanpete. It’s the view from the Angeles Crest Highway looking towards the Inland Empire from the Big Pines end of the highway.

I guess that was trickier than I thought.

 

[beermanpete]

Here we go...

 

[duncan.brown]

San Gabriels again? Looks like the view towards Mt. Wilson from the Antelope Valley.

 

[beermanpete]

Not the San Gabriels. Further west.

 

[beermanpete]

Time for a clue?

 

[duncan.brown]

The shadows on the foothills make it tricky, but it looks desert. Could still be in California, but I'm guessing Mt. Lemmon in AZ?

 

[beermanpete]

Not AZ. San Gabriel was closer. It is in the transverse range. The snow is rare in this peak.

 

[duncan.brown]

Snow on Santa Yenz?!

 

[beermanpete]

You went too far west.

 

[InspectorJon]

My. Wilson?

 

[beermanpete]

Not Mt. Wilson. Farther west.

 

[cmac62]

Santiago Peak Cleveland Nation forest?

 

[beermanpete]

Too far south. It is in Los Angeles.

 

[duncan.brown]

OK, so its Transverse Range, but not San Gabriels... You said west of Mt. Wilson, so it's not in the San Bernardino Mountains. It's not definitely not Mt Lee, as there are too many antennae (and snow). The snow probably rules out the Santa Monicas and Verdugo mountains. The rocks in the foreground suggest that it's somewhere in the Santa Susana Mountains. There's snow, so it must be above 2500 ft. The highest peak in the Santa Susanas is Oat Mountain, so I'm going with that.

 

[beermanpete]

Yes, Oat Mountain. The photo is not mine but I remember the snow there in 2008.

@duncan.brown, you're up.

 

[duncan.brown]

I lived in Pasadena from 2004-2007, so remember the big spring 2005 rain that brought snow right down to a couple of thousand feet!

OK, don’t think I’ve posted this one before. I’ll take the name of the lake, or any of the towns on the lake.

 

[pvpeacock]

Queenstown, NZ?

 

[duncan.brown]

Nope, wrong hemisphere.

 

[bruce_the_loon]

One of the Italian/Swiss lakes maybe?

 

[dirkomatic]

Lake Lugano?

 

[cmac62]

Looks German or Swiss to me also.

 

[KyBeer]

This is my choice of Skyline. Great with a good ale!

 

[duncan.brown]

Lake Lugano

Wrong side. @cmac62 is closest so far.

 

[cmac62]

Is it Thun?

 

[InspectorJon]

It looks like we are riding a gondola. So I'm guessing a ski resort near somethingsee in Germany.

 

[cmac62]

I believe I see Vaduz castle on the hill directly center. Lichtenstein?

 

[KyBeer]

This is an easy one! Even I can guess it.
