Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[HarborTownBrewing]

Sounds like a great book; I just added it to my list. I just started reading Adrift, which has been very interesting so far. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0618257322/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20

Read that one many years ago. Good story. Steve Calahan fares better in the end than Donald Crowhurst. I've read a ton of those types of survival at sea books. Check out Skeletons on the Zahara or The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex or (the best) Endurance for more of the same. Way to go, got me talking about books, I'm an easy mark

Loved that book. I believe I read the entire second half of it in one sitting (when the lives of french girl and german boy started to converge, I couldn't put it down).

Maybe this one will take a few guesses...

Oh, sure.. NOW you choose to post a difficult one.

 

[BikerMatt]

Antananarivo, madagascar

 

[Newsman]

Alhambra, Granada, Spain

 

[Kampenken]

Antananarivo, madagascar

Yeah, that's it, well I should say, that's my guess, and you beat me to it!

 

[BikerMatt]

I confess I cheated a little (though I did recognize a few buildings)

Hint: not in USA.

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

I confess I cheated a little (though I did recognize a few buildings)

Well, how exactly did you cheat?

 

[BikerMatt]

Well I did do a reverse google image search even though it's forbidden, but I basically did it just to check how the nane of the place is written. I did recognize the place to be in madagascar as I had seen it in a nature show on TV not too long ago. If that's against the rules then fine disqualify me.

Dinnnnng! Live about 30km away, drive criss cross around it at work.

I searched radio towers, which produced much garbage. Added Finland to it and something similar popped up on Pinterest for lahti. Searched lahti radio towers and saw a postage Finnish postage stamp depicting those towers, lit up like you showed.

Let's try this (can everybody see embedded video?). Go ahead and use google image search My niece sent this out last week.

[orionol73]

Auckland, NZ?

 

[BikerMatt]

They were a long range T-transmitter up until 1993, but the radio activity has since moved away. Being such an iconic part of the skyline they decided not to take them down, and nowadays they're pretty much rented out to different telecompanies to house their antennas in because of the location (they sit atop a ridge with nothing to block them for miles and miles)

 

[passedpawn]

Auckland, NZ?

Good job. You're up. That tower is the tallest freestanding structure in the southern hemisphere.

I see I have to make these a lot harder

 

[orionol73]

Of course I just removed my traveling pics from my phone to make room on it

Its actually a 24-hour time lapse layered from one side to the other as the day progressed

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

I'm fairly certain that is San Francisco, looking at the San Fran-Oakland Bridge.

Definitely during the America's Cup.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

oops.

 

[gratus fermentatio]

Antananarivo, madagascar

Correct!

It's not mine to officially call, but I'm going to officially confirm HarborTownBrewing's answer as correct. Except for the bridge part. That's the BAY bridge [emoji6]
