Inspired by the Cleveland & Cincinnati Photo trivia threads, here's a thread for guessing skylines of world cities...

 

The person who correctly guesses the photo below, can pick a photo of their choosing of a world skyline, the person to correctly guess that city gets a turn and so on...

 

Entry #1:

 

 

Monte:  I assume "World" can mean any city outside Ohio correct?  (Not that I have any educated guess.)

i suck at these but i would guess fort worth

BallHat, any skyline of a world city.

 

Atlas, you are correct, your turn.

Entry #2

Milwaukee?

no and no

Dallas?

Well I see pick-up trucks and SUV's, so it's probably in the US... obviously it's located by a body of water... don't see any palm trees...  maybe it's Canada in the summer....  Edmonton?

Looks like Calgary.

no to dallas, yes to calgary. 

Here is the next one:

 

^Looks to be a southern city...small...Orlando?

FT LAURERDALE MAYBE

i feel like its in north carolina.  maybe winston salem?

Interstate 4 means Florida, I'll go with St. Petersburg.

^ nice eye Inkaelin but Rando got it right on the first try.  It is Orlando.

One hint....first non-American city (Canada doesn't count).....

 

thats tough, a lot of these cities look alike to me.  i would have to guess........eeerrr.....sao paulo......

Hong Kong

 

Damn, it does look like Sao Paulo. That has to be it.

It is Sao Paulo overlooking Jardins neighborhood.  The name was in the title of the photo :wink:

^damn...I didn't notice that about the name in the title thing (not my photo).  But either way....atlas got to it first!

 

Have at it..

where is the title with the name?  Anyway, heres the next one.  Sorry if this is small. 

I've seen that damn needle before...  located on the water...  hills in the background...  maybe Australia... Melbourne?

nope.  but good guess.

Auckland NZ?

Seoul?

I think metrocity is right.  Looks like Auckland.

yep, its auckland. 

Sorry about the small pic.  I need to get some hosting space...I know

hmmmm looks american/canadian. 

Man is that Edmonton?  Good photo for being sneeky, hard to make out some of the buildings.

You trying to slip Calgary in there again?

i dunno though.  if you look at the calgary picture i posted, the river is on the near side of the picture.  in this picture, the river is on the other side of the city.  unless there are 2 bodies of water or my directions are backwards.  other than that, I have no educated guess for this. 

Well upon further review it isn't Calgary:

 

Here is another photo of Calgary:

 

Hey Metro, can you post another photo of the city above?

Louisville?

Dude Canada's downtowns are way more functional. It's pretty sad. Have you guys seen Vancouver? Talk about efficient utilization of land.

Yes David, I have been to Vancouver and no Maygar that is definitely not Louisville.  Metro give us another hint.

Oklahoma City?

Wow, can't believe I have stumped you guys.  It is a US city.  You could double your pleasure if you visit here. 

st. paul?

 

 

Des Moines?

Niiice, St Paul looks like a pretty good match.

Peoria, Illinois? Based primarily on your comment that you could "double your pleasure" ... Wrigley Jr. is headquartered in Peoria. But the photos of Peoria I've looked at COULD be a match.

Ahhh yes, St. Paul the city in the shadow of Minneapolis.  Nice one... Looks like mrnyc got it.

It is indeed St. Paul. Just found metrocity's photo online.

Yes, It is the lesser of the Twin cities...St Paul.

metrocity since mrnyc hasn't posted a pic, feel free to post another one.

Try this one

eeeerrr......i dunno.
