| ElvisFan67 | posted 25-Feb-2007 10:26am I know it's probably some European city, since the image URL address has "co.uk". I'm guessing either London or Paris. |
| bill | posted 25-Feb-2007 11:11am 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 |
| bill | posted 25-Feb-2007 11:14am I was just checking some Spanish cities and they have the same reddish color roofs... so, perhaps Spain or somewhere in the Mediterranean |
| Iseult | posted 25-Feb-2007 11:20am I don't know. My learned guess is Savannah. |

| Cain | posted 25-Feb-2007 11:28am 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. |
| Enheduanna | posted 25-Feb-2007 11:45am I have no idea. |
| blondie20 | posted 25-Feb-2007 12:33pm I have no clue. |

| ausfox | posted 25-Feb-2007 2:51pm No idea. |
| angelfire | posted 25-Feb-2007 8:42pm A place in the UK...Ha Ha |
| hypersky | posted 25-Feb-2007 9:11pm 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. |
| RGirl | posted 25-Feb-2007 11:21pm Ihavenoclue Land. |
| RGirl | posted 25-Feb-2007 11:28pm Somewhere in Spain? Barcelona? Or Italy......Greece has mountains......I'm sticking with Spain, Barcelona. |
| LindaH | (reply to RGirl) posted 25-Feb-2007 11:51pm You must be thinking of Washington DC |

| cabinfever | posted 26-Feb-2007 12:59am I suck... no idea. |

| 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). |
| bill | (reply to msgman) posted 26-Feb-2007 11:14am That was fun, thanks! |
| mandy | posted 26-Feb-2007 1:32pm My best guess....Portland Oregon. |
| mandy | (reply to bill) posted 26-Feb-2007 1:34pm 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! |
| bill | (reply to mandy) posted 26-Feb-2007 2:39pm I didn't see her in the picture. |
| kirst | posted 26-Feb-2007 5:27pm 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. |
| Zang | posted 27-Feb-2007 2:41am This is much tougher than the last one! |
| Zang | posted 27-Feb-2007 2:45am I gave up too easily... |
| mandy | (reply to bill) posted 27-Feb-2007 2:10pm She's the one in the Sombrero |
| bill | (reply to mandy) posted 27-Feb-2007 4:02pm I think that's Mexico, not Spain. |
| jettles | posted 27-Feb-2007 6:49pm wow, too hard for me |
| mandy | (reply to bill) posted 28-Feb-2007 1:26pm Don't yell at ME... little girl in the kerchief! |
| bill | (reply to mandy) posted 28-Feb-2007 1:51pm it's gawking, not yelling |
| mandy | (reply to bill) posted 28-Feb-2007 1:59pm Don't gawk...bugs will fly in your mouth little girl in the kerchief! |
| bill | (reply to mandy) posted 28-Feb-2007 2:18pm OK, fine, have it your way woman in stockings and short skirt (or perhaps no skirt at all). |
| mandy | (reply to bill) posted 28-Feb-2007 2:29pm no skirt.....no undies....no service... |
| bill | (reply to mandy) posted 28-Feb-2007 3:42pm 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. |
| mandy | (reply to bill) posted 28-Feb-2007 4:53pm See you there!!!!!

| docgbrown | posted 17-Mar-2007 6:52pm Not Las Vegas (we're landlocked) |
| Irene007 | posted 14-Oct-2007 9:36am Knowing which continent it was on would have been a good start
