Redbrick Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 OK......Nobody's going to guess so, "A lake in the northeast"?....Curious now........ Link to comment
TEWKS Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Yup, a lake in the northeast. Clue, a B-52 crashed in the area back in 1963. Pat Link to comment
Whip Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Yup, a lake in the northeast. Clue, a B-52 crashed in the area back in 1963. Pat Google is my friend, so I cheated and won't answer.....yet. Link to comment

TEWKS Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 That's were the plane crashed. Looking for the name of the lake or the name of the rock formation in the background. Pat Link to comment
Deadboy Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Mooselookmeguntic lake..... Or Moosehead lake.... Link to comment
TEWKS Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 A bit farther NE. Yup, got it with the edit! Moosehead lake it is. Side note, good read about the B-52 crash here. Pat Link to comment
Deadboy Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Name of the road is good, or the place. Looking the other way: Link to comment

bakerzdosen Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 OK, what city is this: Link to comment
bakerzdosen Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Las Vegas? Nope. This is at least (depending on the source) 10x as big. Edit: I'll post a different angle in the morning if no one gets it. Link to comment
bakerzdosen Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Not St. Louis. Different angle: link I did not take this shot. And my inherited subject may have made it confusing. I fixed it. That should help. Link to comment
Whip Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 It looks new for Europe, but it's hard to tell in the dark. It ain't Hong Gong cause there ain't no water or I can't see it. It could be Taipei. Am I getting warmer???? Link to comment
bakerzdosen Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Am I getting warmer????Definitely warmer. No correct answer yet. Link to comment
Whip Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Jakarta??? I'm just going through Bigskyline.com. Link to comment
bakerzdosen Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 This part of the city isn't in bigskyline.com. (It's a BIG city - probably bigger than many realize - but technically not as populous as Jakarta...) But, oddly enough, Jakarta is geographically the 2nd closest city so far, but it seems closer than that. (I had to look it up.) Link to comment
bakerzdosen Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Seoul?Getting colder. And technically, Seoul has a larger population than Jakarta. Link to comment
Chris K Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Going by the park area in the second picture, I am guessing Shanghai? Although most skyline shots of Shanghai include the river. Link to comment
bakerzdosen Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I purposefully posted the night shot as there is a big banner on the tallest building in the first of these pictures. If you google the company name on that banner, it's obvious what city it is. (I can JUST make it out on the enlarged version, but I know what it says and this was taken years ago on my Canon Pro70.) I would have thought one of the defining characteristics of the 2nd pic would have given it away because there are only two of these in this region of the world. But, as is, I'll clarify this: It's closer to Hong Kong than Jakarta by a couple hundred miles. It's not a straight line though. Link to comment
bakerzdosen Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Going by the park area in the second picture, I am guessing Shanghai? Although most skyline shots of Shanghai include the river. Closer than Seoul... Shanghai is way up on the population list (#2) And this is a skyline shot taken from our hotel room, so I wasn't exactly able to be picky about what it included and what it didn't include.

azkaisr Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Looks like part of Singapore to me. But that also may have to do with the hints Link to comment
bakerzdosen Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Singapore?Closest yet, but no. Singapore is closer to Jakarta than Hong Kong. (Apparently this is becoming Matt's Asian Geography Lesson®.) The tallest building in the two shots is the tallest in the country FWIW (85 stories). I tried looking and that info didn't help much in google (it's obviously not Tuntex) Sheesh, Twisties deleted his Singapore guess... Oh well. Link to comment
Redbrick Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Jakarta?... He guessed .......... Link to comment
bakerzdosen Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 BangkokYup. You're up. There are only two elevated trains like that in that part of the world. Skytrain is one of them. It's the Baiyoke Tower II with a DTAC ad on the side (at the time anyway.) Link to comment
Twisties Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Singapore?Closest yet, but no. Singapore is closer to Jakarta than Hong Kong. Sheesh, Twisties deleted his Singapore guess... Oh well. That's why I deleted it. Link to comment

Twisties Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Well, for some reason this one has been on my mind for days: But it's not fair to kype one off of someone else's smugmug, w/o their permission, so that's not it! We'll go with this one instead, since I hear the show is done for. Where is this bike? Link to comment
Twisties Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 No, but you are only 588 miles off, by Google's fastest route. Link to comment

Twisties Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Chrome In The Dome at Pocatello Now you've given me something to look up! Sounds interesting, but I've never heard of it. Let me know when it's time for another hint. Link to comment
