Guess the City

I had promised I wasn't going to play this any more, but here's 105:

Well, the ship's the QE2, which doesn't really narrow it down that much really, since it's been everywhere. I'll guess Honolulu.

You usually guess mine instantly, ailsa, but not this time. Here's another angle:

miami?
</lazy>

galveston?

the downtown structure def. looks north american, and that little jetty looks forested, and the light makes it look fairly high latitude, which makes me think it's in canada, but since there are no mountains within ~50 miles of the first shot, it's not vancouver. maybe an atlantic city like halifax? thunder bay?

You're all way off.

A Coruna? Valencia?

perth?

(not the one in scotland)

None of those. I could post a suitably gritty street scene, if you'd prefer to guess from micro rather than macro.

i thought maybe it was perth earlier, but it doesn't seem to match the google maps aerial. then i checked all 100K+ cities in new zealand, no go. can you tell us which hemisphere this is in? i've already spent way too much time on this one.

yeah post that street scene

Yeah, I've just been googling round European ports with no joy.

durban?

that looks like a rugby ground to me

the buildings almost look too modern to be a developed european city, plus the stadium in the lower left of the second picture looks like a soccer stadium now that i think about it. so now i think this is def. south america and not def. north america like i thought before.

(yes, or "rugby")

is it kingston

I thought it was an athletics ground or a v. old football stadium

bermuda

Durban

Results 1 - 10 of about 10,500 for "mr phone". (0.17 seconds)

damn it

Correct ailsa, but caek gets the points!

I googled MTN, found they were South African, and went straight for Durban on google maps

(the ground is a cricket ground, btw)

Sorry for postponing your moment of triumph, caek, but the street scene picture took about ten minutes to upload - I was bloody well posting it after that wait.

Oh, I never even spotted caek saying Durban. FAIL!

hahah

someone else post one

i'm on dialup, too slow to go looking for a good one

durban was a really good one, btw.

That's beautiful. I'm bowing out now though, I've got work to get on with - you pesky kids have already cost me an hour.

likewise ismael! and excellent work, caek. i had tried cape town after abandoning canada (???) but then went elsewhere...

ailsa yours can be 107 and mine'll be 106.

106 almost looks like bristol, but the topography is wrong and they are driving on the right.

omg yes the return of my favorite thread ever wahhhh

107 looks like it's in england (e.g. villa in the bottom right, smallish size of fields in the background), but i don't recognize the river at all, so i guess it's not. hmmm.

106 athens?

107 is Inverness. And I am bowing out now.

haha

106 looks Baltic or Scandinavian. Gdansk, maybe?

Ismael, correct, I have no better imagination that to use my home town!

yeah, athens was nuts. that's northern europe.

106 nope not athens. gdansk is a gdanswer but you're off by over a thousand miles.

hahaha

what is ariston?

oslo?

ariston makes washing machines and stuff
