Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[bracconiere]

well for all my life this is the way i'll think of italy.....

edit: of course now that i think more about it, he dressing really warm isn't he?

I looked in France and way to simple, then I looked in Italy and found it.

TORRECHIARA CASTLE​

That's it! I didn't expect that kind of castle there either. Built in the late 1400's.

I slightly cropped the original picture to take out some more modern buildings and also chose an angle that didn't show any mountains in the background.

Here's my contribution.

somewhere in old hollywood?

 

[cmac62]

Correct state, and the home does have some ties to the entertainment industry.

 

[bracconiere]

so Beverly hills ?

is it really harry?

edit: NVM...definatly not...

Yeah, I was thinking about too but can't come up with anything else.

i'm scrolling through pictures of famous peoples mansions......most of them are of their backyards though, gotta look for the roof line!

It seems to have an Islamic theme to it, for what it's worth.

 

[bracconiere]

first place i thought was turkey, but the 1/4 curve glass window is too modern....

 

[bracconiere]

old mission san diego looks like the same style place....

 

[cmac62]

Not BH or anywhere in LA County, and yes there is a Islamic style to it.

Sounds like California is the right state. And it's definitely got a church / mosque / temple / etc. vibe to it.

I looked through a guide on the missions but didn't see it. Visit California

I think they all have clay tile roofs, and funny enough this doesn't seem to have a roof - guessing it's actually a flat roof. If so it's far newer than any mission, and probably built in the 1900's or so. And does look like a home.

I'm stumped. Hope the insights help someone with an idea?

Actually, that’s in Spain!

 

[bracconiere]

Actually, that’s in Spain!

you know this is killing my childhood memories left and right!

At first i thought it was Arizona or Nevada or something, then found out, i thought....that it was actually italy, now it's like pace! "That's made in SPAIN?"

I have to thank @tracer bullet for helping me get the Google words:

So, it's Sister Aimee's Heavenly Retreat, Lake Elisnore, CA. Just got sold to another church lady. Must be a good paying gig.

 

[pvpeacock]

Padaro Beach, CA aka Santa Clause Beach?

This may be a little more well known. I took this shot in 2017:

St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin.

It had Ireland written all over it, and looked familiar. I typed in Irish Cathedrals and it was the 1st hit.

I was going to be cool and give my own picture, having been somewhat sure I'd seen it in person as well. But alas mine was apparently the Christ Church Cathedral in Dublin. Oops! But similar enough I guess to get me there quickly.

 

[bracconiere]

St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin.

i thought that was a made up cathedral in Ohio?

 

[D.B.Moody]

St. Patrick's in Dublin it is. You're up, @tracer bullet.

Hopefully we haven't done this one or one too close to it. We are 12,595 posts into this party and relatively speaking I'm pretty late to it.

Vancouver? Looking north from Granville Island/Kitsilano area with Grouse Mountain lit up behind North Van.

 

[tracer bullet]

Seems like a good guess, but - wrong country!

 

[bracconiere]

somewhere in brazil? like rio?

i really wish i could make out what it said on that building....

 

[Northern_Brewer]

I think the clue is in the dog that isn't barking. There's a lot of skyscrapers but none of the all-glass kind that have been in vogue in the West for the last few decades, they're all ?faced with concrete. So I think it's somewhere that used to be rich but has had some kind of problem in affording fancy building materials in recent decades - due to the end of the Cold War??

It's not North Korea as they can't afford to run streetlights, but maybe somewhere in the Carpathians or one of the -stans?
