Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[bracconiere]

And that runway looks a bit nutty

you saying that, i don't think it's an airstrip any more. no where to taxi to or from?

 

[Konadog]

It is an airport, not in Alaska. Nutty yes as I think it makes the top 10.

 

[bracconiere]

churchhavel, france...looks realy close...

searched for "downhill airstrips pictures" then added "snow" to the search got this

it has the pine trees, the building look right...it's just the mound on the right seems off....

As in TEN MOST DANGEROUS! Yikes! I found another view of it. It's far worse than the first picture makes look.

EDIT: I didn't know @bracconiere was posting when I did this.

Find a video of a landing, it's crazy!

Courcheval, France? I just Googled "airport runway" and "ski resort" and a similar photo popped up.

Oops, too late.

 

[Konadog]

Brac got it first (bad spelling) but yes, that's it!

 

[bracconiere]

balls in my court...i'm just 'dribbling' trying to buy time to keep the spectators entertained with a tough one....

 

[bracconiere]

honestly this isn't my picture, but JUST the way i remember it....i remember getting a glass of water at the plant at the start from some guy probably laughing at me while my dehydrated bike riding self was oblivious.....(figure for this generic a pic gotta start with a clue!)

 

[pvpeacock]

Busch Gardens, Van Nuys, CA?

 

[bracconiere]

Busch Gardens, Van Nuys, CA?

i wish! they are triple filtered also right? ca is right

 

[Konadog]

No hills that close to Bush Gardens, looks like somewhere San Diego way (South).

 

[pvpeacock]

Calabassas, CA

i was actually looking for the hills....

Calabassas, CA

no... i just posted a pic of the road i bunny hopped my bike across in personalities thread.....right next to it if that helps...

 

[bracconiere]

San Diego way (South).

think county, and yes....

 

[Konadog]

I was actually thinking it looks a lot like where a buddy of mine lives in Poway, but there are no ponds/lakes/rivers near him.

i adopted a surrogate father that lived in poway and often though if it'd be too long a bike ride over the hills to visit him!

 

[beermanpete]

Lake Skinner?

 

[bracconiere]

you know if you swap around the letters a bit, (skip a space between a couple.....)

 

[bracconiere]

well...i think i should give a clue. or a better picture

 

[pvpeacock]

Santee Lakes?

 

[bracconiere]

yep, you're up @pvpeacock ...what in the new photo got it for you? or was an amalgamate? my tip that i didn't know i just drank filtered sewar water, or around poway? which was really to far to get over the hills on my bike too, but my child brain didn't comprehend distance on a BMX bike?

P.S. just like squab at the parking lots...i never knew ducks were edible either.

 

[pvpeacock]

I Googled "San Diego Lakes" and then sifted through a bunch of articles and pictures about San Diego's best recreational lakes.

Here you go.

 

[bracconiere]

well my first thought was utah esque...and ogden, utah looks similar?

 

[pvpeacock]

Not Utah.

Take a second for a second thought. Have a beer while you do this. I suggest a Coors would be appropriate.

 

[bracconiere]

should it be one with a freshness liner, or an old glass bottle?

i'm assuming then you know the answer, and while i moved to nevada or new mexico....the mercury was a bit to low?

 

[pvpeacock]

DB got it even though he didn't actually use the name. It is Golden, Colorado and the industrial building under the mesa to the left side is the Coors' Brewery.

Well, I didn't actually mean to answer; I meant to give @bracconiere a clue to use.
Anyway, here's a picture I took in 1993:

[tracer bullet]

Harvard?

If I'm right it's just because I've seen it in movies. But I guess that counts.
