Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[Pkrd]

Queenstown NZ.

Queenstown it is, A refreshing stop at the Pub on Wharf, during a wonderful trip to New Zealand. You're up @Pkrd.

 

[Pkrd]

The road signage gave it away. What an unoriginal name and who the heck watches the Super Bowl hereabouts?

I didn't have a wide enough lens for this one. Two views to help.

For no particular reason, feels like Greece?

 

[Pkrd]

It is a very very long way away from Greece.

Dang, seemed like a great guess. Hawaii came to mind but the rock type is wrong, doesn't look volcanic and doesn't look like a lava tube.

Started thinking of other places on the Mediterannean but thaty aren't a "very very long way away".

Hmmm

 

[Pkrd]

It’s south of Hawaii

 

[D.B.Moody]

New Zealand is a long way from Greece. This can be found by Googling "sea cave New Zealand"

Edit: I should have had "very, very" in that, @tracer bullet.

Worlds best sub tropical diving will get you there too.

Sorry I left town June 7th. That's why my post on the 6th about New Zealand was not specific. (Remember the picture poster gives New Zealand as his location. I figured @Pkrd, would want a more specific name. I was only dropping a hint about the answer, and I thought @Pkrd was doing the same in his response to that post. He did not name me as being up.

 

[Pkrd]

Yes you’re up.

That’s Rikoriko cave at the Poor Knights islands.
It’s big enough that you can park up 4 tour/dive boats inside.

 

[D.B.Moody]

I apologize for causing the delay.

This is from 2017.

 

[bracconiere]

someplace Buddhist?

 

[cmac62]

I'm guessing European?

 

[tracer bullet]

Spain?

 

[bracconiere]

this looks like budda to me? but the architechture is wrong....

 

[bracconiere]

the statue looks more like an asian buddhist place, maybe thailand....

 

[D.B.Moody]

European, not Spain.

 

[tracer bullet]

The clay tile roofs, the open plaza, the clothing and such on the statue on the far right.... Italy?

Not italy. You're first guess was closer

Has to be Portugal. Still working out where. Looks a lot like "Lisbon Main Square", but it's not the same one. But enough so I think that's got to be the country. Still working out that building. Looks like government.

 

[cmac62]

I think the statue is Leonardo D. somewhere in Italy.

Edit, Okay, not Leonardo necessarily but definitely renaissance and two different lines of people. Some kind of museum complex.

Portugal is right. As to what the buildings are, maybe a view to the right and what's laid into the pavement there will help:

My thoughts as well. I was in Lisbon in 2014 and it really reminds me of a couple of town squares. But it doesn't have the wavy tiling I'd expect.

I was in Lisbon in 2104 too. The view from this plaza is a bit different than you'd see there:

I googled Portuguese museums and came up with the University and Coimbra. I guess they like Harry Potter there.

 

[Andres Falconer]

Aw shucks. It looked so familiar. I even have that picture... Coimbra is pretty amazing.
