Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[Pkrd]

I think it's actually a clue. I'll say Barcelona, Spain.
And I did check. Barcelona does have a three stack power plant and two skyscrapers off to one side.

Barcelona it is. You’re up.

This is from 2011, and labeled it accordingly:

like pluto, it once was a planet but now it's just a non-functional link....

The pitch of the roof lines suggest Europe and there are not that many five-span truss bridges over rivers... some creative searching of such bridges suggests that this is the bridge that crosses the Daugava river in Riga, Latvia.

 

[D.B.Moody]

Riga it is. You're up, @duncan.brown.

Here's my excuse for being offline for a couple of weeks.

Hmm. Skiing, summer mountain biking. Pushing the edge of the tree line. Looks more US than Europe to me (just a guess). So in the Rockies.

Big Sky, MT?

 

[pvpeacock]

Jackson Hole, Wyoming

 

[cmac62]

Mammoth Mt. CA

 

[duncan.brown]

@tracer bullet was on the right track with the Rockies, but @pvpeacock is spot on with Jackson Hole. We took the tramway up and did the circ trail down to the gondola. i.e. the easy way.

 

[pvpeacock]

I recognized Corbet's Coulior to the left of the tram tower. Scary ski run!

This one could be difficult.

Australia?

 

[pvpeacock]

Yes, Australia. But it's a big country.

 

[Pkrd]

Coolgardie?

 

[pvpeacock]

Nope, wrong Australian State.

 

[cmac62]

It looks like the outback to me so Alice Springs? I just looked at a map and picked a random town somewhere in the middle. LOL.

 

[pvpeacock]

Outback, yes, but not Alice Springs which is in the Northern Territory which is also incorrect.

 

[cmac62]

Charleville in QL?

 

[pvpeacock]

Not in Queensland.

 

[bracconiere]

movie studio in melbourne? gotta be a movie studio, the road doesn't have markings.....

edit: i was just reminded of duck hunting... ?

 

[pvpeacock]

Hint: It's on the Barwon River and was once a thriving port.

 

[bracconiere]

geelong?

 

[pvpeacock]

Not in Victoria.

Quite the hunt, Brewarrina in New South Wales, population 1143 humans and may well be the inspiration for Terry Pratchett's depiction of the boat races up the dry river at Dijabringabeeralong in XXXX in The Last Continent.

 

[pvpeacock]

Bingo. Somehow I ended up in Brewarrina the Summer of 1980. Quite the experience. Kangaroos everywhere! Nice job Bruce, you're up.

Here goes, should be easy. Blurred out two giveaways in the background.

 

[pvpeacock]

Looked like Vegas to me, but then I thought "why would Las Vegas have a stain glass whale sculpture?" So I Googled "stain glass whale sculpture" and up came Reno, Nevada.

Yep, Reno it is. You're up PV.
