Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[aurora_colony_cider]

MaxStout got it. Bend it is. Those mountains are, in fact, the Cascades. Well done, sir.

 

[MaxStout]

One from a trip a few years ago.

 

[jack13]

somewhere in Germany?

 

[arturo7]

Kohln aka Cologne

 

[MaxStout]

It's in Germany, but not Koln.

Smaller city.

 

[Bilsch]

Rothenburg

 

[MaxStout]

Rothenburg

That's it!

Your turn.

 

[Bilsch]

I knew I'd stood in that same spot, took me a minute to remember where. This one might be a bit tougher...

 

[arturo7]

Shanghai

 

[Bilsch]

No, this place has about 23 million fewer people.

 

[beermanpete]

Beijing? It certainly looks like China.

 

[jack13]

You haven't confirmed it's China, but I'm going with a chinese city with about 23 million fewer people than Shanghai, at least according to Wikipedia:

Shenyang

 

[Bilsch]

It is China, but not Shenyang. This is way southwest of there. The area is home to one specialized industry that exports it's products worldwide.

 

[triethylborane]

Fireworks

Liuyang

 

[Bilsch]

Yes, Liuyang. Good job. How did you know that?

 

[triethylborane]

Yes, Liuyang. Good job. How did you know that?

:fro:

 

[triethylborane]

A couple hints to get this rolling:

-This city is the capital of the country wherein it lies

-This city positioned closely to the border of another country, with the vast majority of the location of that border currently disputed between the two countries

 

[arturo7]

Somewhere in the Mideast?

 

[beermanpete]

Djibouti City?

 

[arturo7]

Home of Sheikh Djibouti?

 

[triethylborane]

Somewhere in the Mideast?

Djibouti City?

Home of Sheikh Djibouti?

Not in Middle East and not a muslim majority country; it is a Christian-majority nation. Also not home of Sheikh Djibouti fro

 

[HarborTownBrewing]

Sort of a WAG, Cape Town.

 

[Bilsch]

Gibraltar?

 

[triethylborane]

Sort of a WAG, Cape Town.

Nope. Gave this hint earlier:

-This city positioned closely to the border of another country, with the vast majority of the location of that border currently disputed between the two countries

Gibraltar?

Not Europe.

 

[MaxStout]

Bratislava?

Edit: Damn, just saw the "not Europe" clue. Too fast on the draw.

 

[BikerMatt]

Though not sure of the christian majority as several differing results can be found from the net.

Seoul, S:korea

Seoul, S:korea

Not Asia.

It is a Christian majority nation, overwhelmingly so. If you have differing results from your search, you aren't searching for the right place.

Also, French is the official language. Hint of the day.

 

[grampamark]

Port au Prince?

 

[MaxStout]

Kinshasa?

 

[triethylborane]

Port au Prince?

Nope, not in the Caribbean.

Kinshasa?

Nope, but thats a good guess. If conflict ever dies down in the region, Id like to visit DRC and Brazzaville in Republic of Congo.

 

[pursuit0fhoppiness]

A buddy of mine was just in Congo (or DRC, not sure which). Said they got robbed by kids and got sick from the local food.. But other than that had a good time lol

 

[Newsman]

South Sudan? (WAG)

 

[MaxStout]

Brazzaville?

 

[triethylborane]

Brazzaville?

Correct, Brazzaville. And across the Congo River is Kinshasa.

Par for the course. If I can get leave approved next fall Im going to DRC for a week, then onto Rwanda for a week. Ill give it 40% probability of approval :fro:

Sounds like a cool trip. Hope they sign off on the leave.

OK, here's one from my archives. Taken in 2012.

Monte Carlo

 

[MaxStout]

Monte Carlo

That's it. Your turn.

 

[Randar]

somewhere pretty.

 

[MaxStout]

Pretty, indeed!

Looks like the Italian Riviera, perhaps one of the Cinque Terre towns? Don't know which one, though. I'll take a WAG and say Riomaggiore.

 

[Randar]

Right country, wrong region. You're too far North.
