OT: Name That Skyline -- A Picture Game
« on: August 18, 2021, 05:17:05 PM »
This is a play on CD's name that picture thread, but suggest we can keep this as an actual ongoing thread.

The game is simple: someone posts a picture of a skyline, a scenic place, etc. Whoever is first to successfully guess that location gets the honor of posting the next entry in the game.

I'll start with a pretty easy one...

Edit: Google reverse image search is cheating BTW... Gotta guess it honestly. That MAY include, if you have a specific location that you think it might be, looking up photos of said location to confirm. But reverse image search is verboten.

Edit 2: Some of these, as we go farther and more obscure, may be difficult. It may require providing hints. Generally it's best to give a few people opportunities to guess before you start throwing out hints.

One of those white buildings right along the Arno, on the opposite bank from this camera, but this side of Uffizi, is the hotel where we stayed last time we were there.  Had a great window view of the dome of the Duomo.

I love that town, easily in my top 3 or 4 outside of the USA.  Probably in my top 3 or 4 even including the USA. :)

(I hope that one's not too tough.  I didn't want to go super-easy like BRAD did ;) )

Florence--from the Renaissance dome--was my first thought but I didn't know if a river ran through it and was too lazy to check.

P.S. What dissuaded me from Florence was a tower that looked to me like a minaret.

Yeah that's the Arno, and a super-famous bridge runs across it-- the Ponte Vecchio which translates to "Old Bridge."  During WW2 the allies took out many of the bridges in Florence, but they saved this bridge, along with much of Florence's  other historical architecture.
