I know it's probably some European city, since the image URL address has "co.uk". I'm guessing either London or Paris. |

I see a river, and some mountains... a decent harbor area, this is a notable port city. Roof-tops seem to have a red tint, I'm not sure what to conclude from that (perhaps North America, southwestern style?). It looks dry (not very green). There's a clear structure at the top of some large hill. Ah, wait.. maybe that's a clue. Is it Rio de Janeiro, Brazil? Or, maybe that's some sort of observatory (but a city is a terrible place for an observatory). hm |

I was just checking some Spanish cities and they have the same reddish color roofs... so, perhaps Spain or somewhere in the Mediterranean |

I don't know. My learned guess is Savannah. |

I'm really awful at things like this. I feel like the harbour part should be a huge giveaway but I just can't think of where it might be. |

Athens, Greece? I'm thinking that maybe the round shape that's just a bit to the right of centre might an ancient stadium. Wild ass guess, as usual. |

Somewhere in Spain? Barcelona? Or Italy......Greece has mountains......I'm sticking with Spain, Barcelona. |

That's my website. The image is "borrowed" from live.com. |

This, and your previous comments, are good observations. I won't say how close you are yet, but you're definitely on the right lines |

OK, forget my previous reply, you seem to have worked it out anyway! |
| msgman | | posted 26-Feb-2007 9:12am |
OK, enough of you seem to have spotted that it's Barcelona. The real identifier (apart from general things like it being a port city and the nearby mountains) is the long straight road running from centre-left to towards top-right. Since the grid pattern of the city is predominantly parallel to the coast, this road is running diagonally as far as the city is concerned and it's a key Barcelona landmark - it's actually called "Avinguda Diagonal" ("Diagonal Avenue", in English).
Hypersky: The round shape just to the right of centre is Barcelona's Olympic stadium (from the 1992 Olympics). |

YAY!
Mallory's been to Barcelona. She loved it. She said the people were wonderful and warm and the food was good and the Flamenco dancing RAWKED! |

Rome? A total complete guess...no, wait. That looks like a draw bridge of somesort which confuses me. No, looks like more of a container port. Somewhere densely populated with a large river...I have no clue. |

OK, fine, have it your way woman in stockings and short skirt (or perhaps no skirt at all). |

Girl in the kerchief with mouth open has a service she can provide too, though it's illegal and I'm going to Hell just for joking about it. |
