Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[bracconiere]

hmm, looks like lake wanaka then?

 

[pvpeacock]

Lake Wanaka, New Zealand is correct!

 

[bracconiere]

well i learned something about glaciers from the round i guess!

 

[bracconiere]

well, i don't know if this is a good play...but damn it! i like dams!

i see the shear power of that water, and think of 1000watts of sub woofer, and not to mention fermentation temp control!

 

[beermanpete]

Three Gorges Dam, China.

 

[bracconiere]

Three Gorges Dam, China.

that easy huh? you got it....

 

[cmac62]

@beermanpete beat me to it. I had typed my answer out already when his post came in. I googled red crane damn and it was the only thing that came up.

 

[beermanpete]

Good guess. Staying on the theme:

 

[bracconiere]

oroville?

edit: yep pretty sure it's oroville... (googled "dam with emergency spillway")

 

[beermanpete]

Yes. Another quick round. You're up, @bracconiere.

 

[bracconiere]

obviously not my picture...i've driven through here many times, it's one of those sorta significant towns, that you think to yourself, "huh, people actually LIVE here?" lol

 

[Pkrd]

Tijuana?

 

[bracconiere]

nope...if it proves too difficult, i got the perfect megadeth song to give it away! (and no not that, because this is a real city!)

 

[beermanpete]

Laughlin/Bullhead City?

 

[bracconiere]

Laughlin/Bullhead City?

really, really, close, but you gotta follow the angle down a bit....(and i mean straight down...might even get asked if you have any produce!)

 

[beermanpete]

Needles?

 

[bracconiere]

yep, at least this one took a couple guesses! you be up!

edit: oh and that song, that i thought would be a funny give away for it! lol

 

[duncan.brown]

Needles?

Rats, I was too slow on this one. My second US road trip was Los Angeles to Milwaukee via Needles, CA; Flagstaff, NM; Santa Fe, NM; Clayton, NM; Boise City, OK; Dodge City, KS; Salina, KS; Kansas City, MO; Des Moines, IA; Rockford, IL; Milwaukee, WI.

 

[beermanpete]

At the risk of drifting too far away from skylines, another bridge.

 

[bracconiere]

damn i've seen so many bridges like that around san diego! but i'm going to guess i'm way off....but i swear i feel like i've been over that bridge or one just like it many times as a 7-8 year old....

 

[bracconiere]

i don't think i'm that far off and haven't forget my 40 year old memories that badly yet, found this hunting around lake morena, just need the road name!

or whatever, but i'm pretty sure i've been there as a very small child...many times as a regular semi yearly outing!

 

[beermanpete]

That is the bridge. Where is it?

 

[bracconiere]

Wait i just responded...

San Gabriel Canyon, around Pasadena LA...i think i was toting a .22 along it when i was there....

 

[duncan.brown]

Rats! Too slow again. It’s the Bridge to Nowhere. Great hike when I lived in Pasadena.

damn, good thing you responded...i forgot i was up to make a play! but i didn't get confirmation...soooo?

 

[beermanpete]

Yes, it is the Bridge to Nowhere in the San Gabriel Canyon, north of Azusa. @bracconiere, you got close enough.You're up.

 

[bracconiere]

ok, this is my attempt at having some fun with a trick question.....the picture has been modified...not sure if it will be a flop or a winner.....

 

[pvpeacock]

Wild guess -- Cairo?

 

[bracconiere]

right country, and real close? ( i think...)

edit: i mean cairo's skyline is in the picture? not sure how hard these are supposed to be.....

 

[bracconiere]

well i don't want to kill the game...here's the original picture

but i think it's giza? not cairo proper?


so i'll give it to @pvpeacock ...i have a lot to learn


(i just thought it'd be fun to edit out the dead give away...)
