Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[beermanpete]

Mannheim?

 

[3 Dawg Night]

***DING-DING-DING*** Mannheim it is! I spent three weeks in and around Mannheim one lovely summer a decade ago. The hotel where I stayed had a pub/tavern in the bottom floor. More than one evening was spent with a dish of pork cutlets in gravy (I still remember that it was called "Huntsman's Pork" on the menu) and several dunkelweizens.

I never did see any steamrollers, though.

You're up, @beermanpete!

 

[beermanpete]

Let's see if this one is is easy or difficult.

Liverpool?

Is that Oslo? Expensive beer there!

 

[beermanpete]

Liverpool?

Yes, it is Liverpool. You're up.

 

[bruce_the_loon]

Here you go, may be difficult or not. Clues are going to be fun if you can't get it easily.

Loch Ness

 

[beermanpete]

Where's that confounded bridge?

 

[BruceH]

A dragon built into a bridge. Probably called "Dragon Bridge". A bridge looking just like that is in Da Nang, Vietnam.

 

[bruce_the_loon]

And BruceH has got it. No need for cryptic clues about Magnum and General Westmoreland.

You're up BruceH

Cologne?

 

[BruceH]

Cologne?

No, but it is in Europe.

 

[SouthBounds]

Looks French, I'm going with Lyon.

 

[BruceH]

Looks French, I'm going with Lyon.

It is in France but not Lyon.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Bordeaux?

 

[BruceH]

Bordeaux?

Not Bordeaux.

 

[Persevalli]

Paris, view of Bir Hakeim bridge?

 

[BruceH]

Paris, view of Bir Hakeim bridge?

Yes, Paris is correct.

Your turn to put up a pic.

 

[Persevalli]

 

[smcinco]

Whore island

 

[Persevalli]

Lol, no whores there (afaik...)

 

[schmurf]

Somewhere in the alps? Lake Geneva?

 

[Persevalli]

Somewhere in the alps? Lake Geneva?

Very close, but it is not in Switzerland. If they were a few miles up North, they would speak german (or Bayrisch, more precisely).

 

[smcinco]

Lol, no whores there (afaik...)

Edited: Slovenia

 

[Persevalli]

Edited: Slovenia

Exactly, the beautiful Slovenia is correct.
Any guess about the city?

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Ljubljana?

 

[Persevalli]

Ljubljana?

Almost there.
Missing only 33 miles.

 

[scaglikm]

trabajo

 

[scaglikm]

or Trboje, not sure the correct spelling

 

[Persevalli]

or Trboje, not sure the correct spelling

Very close , but not there yet.

This city holds one of the most famous attractions of Slovenia.
One hour west you´re in North Italy.
One hour north you´re in South Austria.

Point of Inquiry: Is it against the thread rules to use Google for searches such as "Slovenia attractions" or "Slovenia river cities"? I think I have the answer, but I want to come by it honestly.

 

[schmurf]

According to the first post which sets up the rules, it's not cheating.

Thanks for the interpretation. I just didn't want to be "that guy."

My guess is Bled, specifically Lake Bled.

That´s the right answer, congratulations!

Now is your turn...

 

[pvpeacock]

It's not against the rules to use word searches on the internet as long as you don't use something like "Search Google for image"

 

[InspectorJon]

The rules are simple:

1. The first person to correctly guess what skyline is posted will post a photo of a skyline that they choose, once the person confirms the guess is correct.

2. There are no limitations on where the city is or the size of the city. There are people from different countries on this forum so it will make it diverse.

3. If nobody can guess for an extended period such as a few days, then the poster can give hints to keep people guessing, or just reveal the answer and let someone else post.

4. This is an honor system here so let's keep it fair and fun for everyone. No cheating by using SEARCH GOOGLE FOR IMAGE or looking at the IMAGE URL, or any other method.

The last statement “or any other method” is a bit ambiguous. Perhaps we need a clarification from the OP @arnobg

 

[beermanpete]

I think it means any method that will read the subject image and search for it on the web.

 

[3 Dawg Night]

Yeah, I didn't use Google image search. I Googled "Slovenia river cities" and "Slovenia top attractions," coupled with @Persevalli's other hints. If I'm judged to be out-of-order, I'll withdraw it. In the meantime...

This one has special significance this week. You're looking at the air traffic control tower for the world's busiest airport.
