Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[CKuhns]

Reminds me of Southern Poland - I'm going with - Plock?

 

[Northern_Brewer]

That looks like Christchurch, so I think it’s Cambridge.

Err - Christchurch is in Oxford, this one is Garret Hostel Bridge with Trinity Hall on the right. Which is in Cambridge.

Another one that was all too easy for me, but I've not been on HBT for a few days!

Current one - that split level embankment makes me think of Paris?

 

[Pkrd]

Not France or Poland, but close to both.

Christchurch NZ looks a lot like Cambridge with punting down the river.

 

[Northern_Brewer]

Ah gotcha, my apologies, I assumed you meant the biggest college in Oxford (which is technically Christ Church, it's a joint foundation with the diocese).

The split embankment makes me think of the car chase in Spectre, which was set in Rome (but could have been shot anywhere)?

Otherwise the Rhine is the obvious river between Paris and Poland, although there's a couple of other big ones.

 

[Pkrd]

Not Italy, not the Rhine.

 

[duncan.brown]

It reminds me of Budapest, but the bridge in the background doesn't look like the ones I remember from my last trip there.

 

[Pkrd]

Not Budapest

 

[duncan.brown]

I don't think it's Prague, but I'm stuck on it being the Danube. Bucharest?

 

[Pkrd]

Not the Danube

 

[CKuhns]

Trier, Germany (Moselle River)

 

[Pkrd]

Germany yes, not Trier.

 

[Persevalli]

Regensburg?

 

[Pkrd]

Nope

 

[Persevalli]

My last try...
Heidelberg?

 

[Pkrd]

Heidelberg it is! If it was a nicer day you'd be able to see the Schloss.

 

[Persevalli]

Thanks Pkrd! Indeed a nice place.
Next is easy.

 

[SouthBounds]

Going to need a clue here

 

[pvpeacock]

Looks like the Rhine somewhere.

 

[Persevalli]

Looks like the Rhine somewhere.

Nice try. Not so far... but Danube (or Donau) would be more correct.

This is in the neighborhood of a very famous (at least in Central Europe ) Dunkel, brewed in an ancient Klosterbrauerei, with a very complicated name....

 

[Persevalli]

Also close to a very famous Weissbier brewery, known for its open fermentation vessels. A few clones of it are posted here.

 

[duncan.brown]

I think the city is Kelheim and the beer is Schneider.

 

[Persevalli]

Exactly, Duncan! Now is your turn.

The monument on the hill is the Befreiungshalle (Liberation Hall), built to commemorate the victory over Napoleon. The other Brewery I´ve mentioned is the Weltenburger Klosterbrauerei.
Schneider Weisse, Weltenburger, Befreiungshalle, Kelheim... all of them worth the visit when in Bavaria.

 

[duncan.brown]

As soon as I can travel again, I'm heading to Bavaria to do the full beer tour!

Next up is one of my favorite cities.

 

[Persevalli]

Annecy, France?

 

[duncan.brown]

Yes, Annecy it is. @Persevalli you're up.

 

[Persevalli]

nice pic, Duncan. Love the Alps.

Next:

 

[GilSwillBasementBrews]

Rothenburg??

 

[Persevalli]

Rothenburg??

Correct! Not the typical Rothenburg ob der Tauber pic, well done!

 

[GilSwillBasementBrews]

Was there 5-6 yrs ago. Almost Missed my bus right up the way from where the photographer was.

 

[GilSwillBasementBrews]

Sorry for the delay posting. I don’t have many skyline pics. This should be an easy one.

 

[pvpeacock]

Koln, Germany?

 

[GilSwillBasementBrews]

Correct. You’re up pvpeacock

 

[pvpeacock]

I know this one will take some hints.

 

[smcinco]

Lone pine? Something around mt Whitney...

 

[pvpeacock]

Bing, bing, bing, bing! Lone Pine, California it is! Wow that was fast. You're up Smcinco.

 

[smcinco]

Not too far from there.....

 

[pvpeacock]

Manzanar internment camp?

 

[smcinco]

Bingo! Way to go! Crazy seeing the stars n stripes over what otherwise looks like a Nazi camp. Such a beautiful, desolate area.

You’re ure back up.

 

[pvpeacock]

If you've been there, this should be easy.

 

[SouthBounds]

Crab Island, Destin Fl. Good chance I'm out there, ha!
