Has anyone got close to 91 yet? It seems familiar to me, but I can't place it at all.
― ailsa, Friday, 17 October 2008 13:58 (fifteen years ago) link
Something about it says france to me. but I can't place it

sydney
― caek, Friday, 17 October 2008 17:58 (fifteen years ago) link
i thot it might well be tucson - the houses looked very phoenix-y, but the mountains were off - but couldn't GIS a picture that looked similar - are those mountains part of tucson mountain park or something else?
― gabbneb, Friday, 17 October 2008 18:07 (fifteen years ago) link
I don't think so, cause that doesn't include Mt Lemmon, right? Which I think is within Catalina State Park. I doubt any of the other surrounding mountains could accumalate that large of an amount of snow.

91 is driving me mad. This is what I can see:
- it's on a coast, with open sea beyond - no islands, no opposing coastline, nothing- it's got what looks like 3 harbours. On is man-made, the other two are natural (and could conceivably be rivers or, on the left, a lake)- all the harbours are underused. Only the man-made one has anything in it, being a fairly large cruise ship, a container ship and a couple of smaller craft- one steel-arch bridge over the harbour/river mouth. Quite a big bridge, nice red arch- it's full of high-rises, so really dense, and yet there is loads of woodland on what should normally be perfectly-habitable ground. There's one crazily-dense part in the middle, surrounded by forest. Why build like this?- it's all very green, the only bare ground is on the rocky hills in the foreground- only two distinctive buildings - a round tower block just below and to the left of the bridge; and what could be the top of a space needle dead centre, at the back behind the hill.- looks quite clean- the photographer is higher than the hills in the foreground, so the city lies on a thin strip twixt mountains and sea- the area round the man-made harbour is low-rise, suggesting a historic centre. Not so many tower blocks as would suggest breakneck growth- I'm guessing a population of around 300,000
Help me please. Please.

looks like it could be a canal between those two green fields?

key question

indian burial ground?
― caek, Friday, 17 October 2008 20:24 (fifteen years ago) link
haha that's what i was thinking. some sort of ruins. maybe a park?
― Granny Dainger, Friday, 17 October 2008 20:25 (fifteen years ago) link
93 is pondicherry/puducherry
― velko, Friday, 17 October 2008 20:30 (fifteen years ago) link
lol pudcherry
i'm thinking wet ground/unbuildable swamp
are you guys thinking latin america?
― jergins, Friday, 17 October 2008 20:31 (fifteen years ago) link
that waterway is way too small for panama canal, right?
― 69, Friday, 17 October 2008 20:33 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah latin america. first thought was mexico, due to that building in the left foreground resembling a mayan pyramid.
― Granny Dainger, Friday, 17 October 2008 20:40 (fifteen years ago) link
91: Kobe?
― I DIED, Friday, 17 October 2008 20:40 (fifteen years ago) link
i think its not dense enough for kobe. i think its colon, panama.
― 69, Friday, 17 October 2008 20:47 (fifteen years ago) link
doesn't appear to be big enough for Kobe, no? per google earth Kobe does have a sizable forested area just nearby though
xp
― Granny Dainger, Friday, 17 October 2008 20:52 (fifteen years ago) link
also the one bridge i see in kobe looks different
― Granny Dainger, Friday, 17 October 2008 20:53 (fifteen years ago) link
ok not colon either
― 69, Friday, 17 October 2008 21:03 (fifteen years ago) link
I got to Kobe too when looking for the bridge, but Kobe's too big I think.I was thinking European Mediterranean, but I see no spires or churches. I think it's too green for east/south Med.I don't think it's an island country because the port isn't busy.I think the bridge is over a rivermouth, as there seems to be the remnants of an old harbour just inside it, and if it was a natural harbour it would have been developed in preference to building a new oneA lot of the residential towers appear to have cube shapes perched on top. Is that characteristic of anywhere?
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 17 October 2008 21:52 (fifteen years ago) link
it's not kobe, there are not open fields that close to the city center. downtown kobe looks nothing like that. the tiered hotels are not a japanese style.
― jergins, Friday, 17 October 2008 21:54 (fifteen years ago) link
Also, I see no shanty town, which I'd expect to see if the country was poor because of all the unused land
― Ismael Klata, Friday, 17 October 2008 21:54 (fifteen years ago) link
a lot of things could be out of the frame: shantytowns, a central tourist area, etc
