In this thread you have to guess what the city is from a picture posted by somebody (usually the winner on the previous picture)

Rules

1. The picture you post has to be on a city or very large, famous town.
2. The picture has to contain something from the city that makes it recognisable.
3. The cities should be at least known in the country.
4. Wait until the previous poster has stated that your guess is correct, then you can post a picture of a city.
5. If the picture poster takes as long as 2 days saying whether anybody was correct, it is invalid, and another poster gives another picture of a city.

Googling and other searching is allowed.

I start!

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3a/Milano_scala_2005.jpg

googling the van suggests its Italian

Yes, but what city? Admittedly, it's hard.

Is it Milan?

How about Venice?

Grillick is right! The building was Il teatro alla Scala. Grill's go.

Haha. You're kidding! I was like, "What's a city in Italy people wouldn't think of right away?" Okay, here we go. Hopefully this'll be easy.

Small picture...

Yeah, sorry. I'll look for a bigger one.

Is that Roasters Restaurant?

Oops, that second picture would've made it TOO easy. ;)

No, it is not.

I'm guessing Atlanta...

Not Atlanta, but you're in the right country.

Can't see any details in the small pic, but it read "Frontier Restaurants"...so I'm guessing it's somewhere in the west of the USA. Is it Denver?

No, but you're getting warmer.

And I'm cold, so I'm going to bed. Hoepfully a correct answer will have arisen by morning.

Third time lucky (?)

Albuquerque, New Mexico

Evidence: http://www.frontierrestaurant.com/

Haha. Very good. I'm so clever, posting a picture from the city I live in, aren't I?

If I had a digital camera, I would've gone out and taken one myself. ;)

My turn :D

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m51/Grenadier_539/Hofbrauhaus.jpg

#RND Munich?

Yep you're right Rheinmetall that was relatively an easy one. Hofbraeuhaus beer hall in Muenchen.

Then why does it say Planet Hollywood? Isn't that only in Niagara Falls?

Planet Hollywood has locations all over the world.

What? I got it right. :wow:

http://koti.mbnet.fi/jatt/picture.jpg


This could prove hard. If you want I'll ask another. The city is not very large by world standards.

Hitti-Litti, you stay away from this will you. :)

Helsinki? Helsinki?

Not Helsinki.

Is it Valkeala? (not even sure if that is actually a city)

You've been browsing through Hitti-Littis profile I see. But no cigar this time. I think I'll switch the city to a more famous one.

Akyureyri?

I'm going to go with Näsinneula.

I'm going to go with Näsinneula.

That'll do. I don't want to tease you with this any further.

Näsinneula is the name of the tower, "Näsi's needle". It's located in the city of Tampere (3rd largest city of Finland). The picture shows the adventure park at the base of the tower.

Er, is it mine? If so, the floor is open. I don't know how to attach images.

Have I killed this? Er, sorry. :blush:

To reiterate, the floor is open for anyone to post a picture.

I'm sure it's in Italy. Now to say what city it is, that's harder. ;) Absolutely random guess: a city somewhat from the north, like, say, Padova?

No, you're making it much harder for yourself.

I guess it's a bigger city then, and since I've been in the north, let's go in the south: Naples?

Nope. htrtrth

St. Petersburg?

Rome? I know its not DC...

London...?

It might be the Vatican City, maybe?

Rome? I know its not DC...

Hai ragione! Your turn!

2 days has passed. New picture:

http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/86697/Helsinki_Pohjoisranta.jpg

Washington, D.C.?

That dome looks like the White House or the Capitol.

It's Helsinki...

That's Eskilstuna! I think...

Catharis is right. His go.

No, Swedishguy or someone else can have it. I have to admit, I've been cheating.

How? Ooh, I'll never tell! :mischief:

(It's probably obvious...)

http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/2668/guesscityrt3.th.jpg (http://img235.imageshack.us/my.php?image=guesscityrt3.jpg)

I'll take.

Now, see, D'Art has done it properly. I can't cheat this one. :sad:

But I'll make a real guess: Rabat.

Not Rabat.

Is it Casablanca?

*Catharsis tries all the cities in Morocco before moving on to Algeria*

Those arches look oriental. A tourist trap of sorts.

Catharsis, it's funny you mention Morocco because that's what I tought at first too. :)

No. Not in Morocco.

Maybe we should move to Algeria then :)

Algiers! Tunis! Tripoli! Cairo!

...uhh...

...Naples?

No No No No No!

Gah. And there's nothing in there I can Google, either. :sad:

I'll make a few more guesses: Madrid Barcelona Lisbon Oporto

And if it isn't one of them, then I guess you've beaten me, D'Artagnan59. But I'll be back! You just wait!

Actually, the arcades remind me of what I've seen in Venice, but the rest doesn't fit.

So here's my guess: Toledo?

5 nos again!

Stockholm or Amsterdam?

Somewhere on the Cote d'Azur...Marseilles?

No, no, and no.

Is this city at least big enough to be known by a decent amount of people?

Is this place in the city famous enough to be known by a decent amount of people?

Keep throwing city names at him. He'll give us a clue eventually :p

Let see. Is it somewhere in Greece? Thessaloniki, maybe? Rhodes?

Let's go in alphabetical order!

Aachen?

Athens .

it looks the old square in Kos town?

No, not really. But it's in Europe.

And no, no, no.

Aba???????

Stupid guess (I actually know it's not true, because you said it's not very big and it's - I'm guessing fully - in Europe): Istanbul?

A more serious guess: Cadiz, Spain?

That picture really is hard.

It's so small, and could be anywhere near the mediterranean.... We can't even see some text from the streets, at least to know the language and identify the country... :)

Is it Generic Mediterranean City #15?

Or...
Valencia
Valladolid
Venice
Nicosia

I already guessed Venice. :nono: (and D'Artagnan didn't give an answer about this :D)

I already guessed Venice. :nono: (and D'Artagnan didn't give an answer about this :D)

I know. That's why I guessed it again. ;)

EDIT: Actually, you said this:

Actually, the arcades remind me of what I've seen in Venice, but the rest doesn't fit.

Maybe D'Art didn't count that as a guess. That would be crafty.

EDIT AGAIN: While I'm here: Ajaccio, Genoa, Palermo, Ankhara, Monaco, San Marino, Seville.

Messina? Madrid? (doesn't have to be on the seaside....), Cordoba, Alhambra, Granada, Mallorca?

Hellueva ?

Split? Dubrovnik?

Finally! Mirc gets it with Split!

Ha! I might go there in September. :smug: That's how I thought of it.

I'll post a city tomorrow, it's 2 AM...

So the city was a former Italian one...

I don't think it qualifies as a former Italian city. You could call even Jerusalem a former Italian city, by these rules. It was ruled in the late middle ages and early renaissance by Venice, but this doesn't really make it Italian. It's like saying Athens is an Ottoman city.

Edit:
http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/6240/guesscityof1.png

Covered the website, as it contains country's extension... Also covered the name of the guy on the statue.

Carducci?

(Not sure if it's spelled right)

Nope. :) It's bigger and more important than that. I haven't actually heard of Carducci.

Honestly, that looks a little bit like St Louis, Missouri.

No, it's not St Louis... :D


(BTW, you are supposed to have maximum 5 lines in your sig, you have 17 ;))

Ooooooh this is hard . . .

I would think that crown at the base of the statue pretty much eliminates the United States. In fact, it looked English...

How about, um, Ottawa?

Cecena????

Is it San Diego?

Ooooooh this is hard . . .

Nope, neither of those unfortunately. :)

Mirc give us a clue or we'll refer to the alphabetical method again. ;)

Is it London? Amsterdam? Brussels?

Let's do it 20 Questions style!

Is it in Europe?

Yes, it's in Europe. It's a very important city for the EU.


Mirc give us a clue or we'll refer to the alphabetical method again. ;)

Yup. :D

:woohoo: I got it right! :)

Alright here's mine.

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m51/Grenadier_539/Vic.jpg

Mexico City?

Dump random guess, wanted to keep this thread moving. :)

Hmm, I'm guessing something British, Manchester? NewCastle?

Mexico City?

Nope, nope and nope.

Keep trying. :)

Looks European so I'll just take aim with my city name shotgun!

London
Liverpool
St. Petersburg
Moscow
Kiev
Belarus
Prague
Warsaw
Sarajevo

^ You missed!

Keep trying. :)

Madrid? Valencia? Florence? Lisbon?

Perth, Australia?

Tokyo Singapore ?

Seven nos!

Keep trying folks. Don't give up yet :)

Belgrade? Budapest? Bucharest?

^ Well, I can't say about the other guesses, but it's not Bucharest, we don't have such trains. :)

Of course I might be wrong, but IMHO it doesn't look European. Also, I think I see a palm tree in the background...

Wild guess: Istanbul?

If it is for some reason, here's mine:
http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/47028/pici.gif

I don't think it's european. We europeans don't build such stupid structures, we build stupider structures :p

If it's not European, I'm gonna guess South American, Buenos Aries? Rio de Jenairo? San Salvador?

I don't know taillesskangaru's, but I think Jono's is a picture of my house. I had a curry for tea last night. :blush:

I also don't know why anyone would say that city looks European, if it's in Europe, it's definitely not typical. ;)

:D

Is it Seoul?

1. Jono's is Nagasaki
2. No one's got the right answer so far.
3. And yes Mirc there are palm trees in the background.

Kuala Lampur, Jakarta, Manila?

Cairns, Australia?

Not quite. You're getting warmer though.

Canberra?

If I'm right, the floor's open. I hate finding pictures.

Canberra?

If I'm right, the floor's open. I hate finding pictures.

You can keep guessing.

It's not in Australia.

Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington, Bangkok, Hanoi, Hue, Ho Chi Minh City

Jono's could be Hiroshima :o

But it was Nagasaki...

Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington, Bangkok, Hanoi, Hue, Ho Chi Minh City

We have a winner!!! :eek:

The picture is of the Victory Monument in Bangkok Thailand. It was built in 1941 in a period of militarist rule by General Phibulsongram to commemorate a brief war with Vichy French Indochina. You can also see the sky rail in the background, another symbol of Bangkok.

:goodjob: Your turn Madviking.

Guess the city.
http://forums.civfanatics.com/uploads/59103/hahasucker.jpg

Aah... Bangkok.

Don't even make me go there on why some young boys are sent into fits of laughter when they hear that city.

But first: Philadelphia?

Nope .

Budapest ?

:hmm: Don't ask.

Still no .

That building facade looks awfully Parisian.

So I'll guess Paris or Algiers.

no and no .

Think north.

Hamburg? (am I getting closer?)

No, but yes

I don't know.

But madviking has worked out how I was cheating. :blush:

Now THAT one's St. Petersburg!

Damn! I was going to say St Peterburg . . .

Anyway, lets say, uh, Stockholm?

Which St Petersburg? :p

Which St Petersburg? :p

The Pennsylvanian one, of course!:crazyeye:

You should post one Blade.

BUMP! :bump:

http://students.uww.edu/RodenJA10/cityisnotdarwin.jpg

That is a really pretty building, for an unnecessarily tall skyscraper.

Someone else post a picture now.

EDIT: Irrelevant post.

Don't we need to guess where this picture is from, first?

As a guess out of nowhere, I'll guess Darwin, Australia.

Cars are on the right side of the road, and I think Australia uses the left side, but I might be wrong.

So I'd guess USA. I have no idea where, could be anywhere. Totally random guess: New York.

Chicago .

No one!

Lame hint: You may have seen it on TV, but it's not to be confused with the movie version.

Miami maybe?

Atlanta
DC
Boston
Pittsburg
Charlotte
Richmond
Norfolk
Cincinatti
Cleveland
Orlando
Jacksonville
Philly

Vancouver!

London, Great Britain?

Vancouver!

Perfect!!!

London, Great Britain?

Well, I pointed up that the cars are driving on the right side of the road in that pic. But doesn't matter now. :)

As about taillesskangaru's picture, it looks very European*, but is there a Pagoda in the background? :confused:
*I actually first had the impression that it's from Romania.

Kyoto???????

You spotted the pagoda. :goodjob: That's a big clue there.

And no it's not Kyoto. Keep trying, you're not far off. :)

Hong Kong?

I'll say KYOTO!

Neither.

Er, open floor. (I really should stop guessing these.)

Here's a landmark from where I'm from. Bonus if you can name the building.

http://www.nameorg.org/conferences/2004/hotelpic.gif

I'll start off with Kansas.

I'll start off with Kansas.

The building is the Revolving Kansas Thingy Hotel.

EDIT: AARGH pressed 'quote' instead of 'edit'.

I'll start off with Kansas.

This one is hard to score... you're close. The building is not in Kansas, though, if that was your guess.

Kansas City!

Kansas City!

You got it. Kansas City, Missouri, United States of America. :)

The hotel is pretty famous. Or infamous, I suppose.

http://students.uww.edu/RodenJA10/city2.jpg

I know my guess is stupid, but... Washington?

Paris

IHSTC

Salt Lake City, Utah?

By the way, the hotel was the Hyatt Regency Hotel, which suffered a tragic collapse in 1981.

I know my guess is stupid, but... Washington?

Nope. I know I'm not the poster that posted the picture, but I am 100% positive that is not Washington D.C.

I'm going to guess (was going to guess Salt Lake City) Portland, Oregon for the hell of it.

Copenhagen...???

Vienna?

Just want to keep this thread running :)

The dome in the center is a rip-off of D.C.'s, but not actually it.

Pretty tough. Wild guess: Sacramento?

Deciduous (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deciduous) trees they are.

No reply in a long time...

http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/6862/ahahasuckerdr6.jpg

Mexico City?

Nope. :)

Looks Hispanic. Best bet would be latin america. Sao Paulo?

Nope, not Sao Paulo either. :) I'm going to give clues if it's too hard. :)

Clue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the continent this city is on, this kind of trees are rare.

In that case, Cordoba, Spain?

No, but that is much closer. :)

(Where's my Civ4 Spanish city list?) ;)

Barcelona, Madrid, Granada?

Could be Italy, so how about Florence, Genoa, Naples?

Yes, you got it right. :D

(Where's my Civ4 Spanish city list?) ;)

Barcelona, Madrid, Granada?

Placa Reial, a wonderful spot. The next clue I was going to give is "Think East", and if you went to far east, like Italy or Greece, I would have said "Third Clue: Rise from Medieval Kingdoms" (forum game, in which I play as Barcelona).

Over to you!

Oh yeah...

That game where gandhi rules is getting creamed by my military (I'm shipping it to the people creaming him).

Come take a look-see at it sometime.

I'm guessing Kyoto.

That is what Venice will look like when the Chinese tanks finally roll over the last scrap of Europe left.

Singapore City?

Nope. Keep it comin' :)

Bangkok???

Seoul ?

No not Seoul either.

Bolton. I win.

It's a CHINESE city, dammit! D:

Tsingtao? :crazyeye:

No.

You're getting much closer though. :clap:

Somewhere?

Over the rainbow!

Is it the Duke of Edinburgh's nightmare world?

It is somewhere over the rainbow . . . of course it depends where you live. :crazyeye:

What's Duke of Edinburgh's nightmare world? :p

Barcelona

Oops Looking at wrong pic

Ok looking at the right picture this time i say Nanjing

Looking at wrong pic

Amsterdam?

Not Amsterdam and not Europe either BTW.

Buenos Aires? O.o

Try another continent

Australia? :hmm:

Still not right

South Africa

Is it in North America?

taillesskangaru: The Duke of Edinburgh's nightmare world is anywhere in which, and I quote (not really): "their eyes are slitty, or they're a bit dusky, or the whole place is crawling with foreigners. Harrumph."

South Africa is the right continent

Err... well i was talking about the country South Africa.
So, Cape Town / Praetoria ?

Johannesberg?

Durban??????????

I should have said South Africa was on the right continent, it's not the right country.

Alger ?

Casablanca?

Congotown?

Try again all

Rabat, Cairo, Addis Abada?

Lusaka, Zambia?
Livingstone, Zambia?
Luanda, Angola?

Church City, the country of Africa?

Abidjan, Ivory Coast
Accra, Ghana
Maputo, Mozambique
Gaborone, Botswana
Libreville, Gabon

Cape Verde
Skittlesland or whatever
