Guess the Skyline!

[ML8991]

Here's a much better known city, but still a challenge i feel.

@rakowozz: That Sao Paulo bridge looks amazing. Do you know by chance how it's called?
And the current city seems to be Lyon if I'm right. Looks quite french.

Yup it is Lyon. See here: #965

 

[ML8991]

Very good, it is of course Lyon.

 

[ML8991]

Btw the beidge is the Octavio Frias De Oliveira Bridge

 

[stuwater]

Thanks for the info, @ML8991.
And regarding to the proposed rule changes, they seem reasonable to me if we apply them with common sense and not too strictly in border cases.

Anyways, here is your next metropolis. Happy guessing.

 

[Myquandro]

Vaduz, Liechtenstein?

 

[delpiero1234]

Those zebra crossings look Swiss to me.
Zurich?

 

[stuwater]

Yes it is Vaduz, one of the world's smallest capitals.

 

[Myquandro]

It was the VP Bank building that gave it away. I will post a skyline as soon as I wake up (late now and I don't have one yet), so probably 7 to 8 hours of patience is needed.

 

[delpiero1234]

Damn. I could have sworn these yellow zebra crossings look like the one in Switzerland Oh well

 

[Chieron]

Looks very Swiss to me. But it's Vaduz, Liechtenstein.
Edit: should reload page before posting.

You weren't that far off, it's almost Switzerland, isn't it?

 

[Myquandro]

Here is the new skyline:

 

[Nyanako]

Caracas, maybe?

There are words on that tower, but I can't make them out. They actually don't look like latin letters, so it could be in Thailand or somewhere... Can't make out what is written on the watertank there, ether

 

[Myquandro]

Caracas is correct.

 

[Nyanako]

That was a good guess. I googled "Slum" and "Hill" and "City" and thats what came up. Okay, this is an easy one; lots of clues in the pic. If its not guessed within three hours, I will be highly surprised.

 

[Myquandro]

In my opinion that picture is not correct. It's an aerial view instead of a skyline.

 

[rakowozz]

Karbala, Iraq?

 

[Nyanako]

Karbala Iraq is correct. The two mosques we see are the Imam Hussein Shrine, and the Al Abbas Mosque. Karbala is the fourth most holy city of the Shi'ite branch of Isalm, where Hussen bin Ali, grandson (by Fatima) of Muhammad was set upon by the villainous Umayyad Caliph Yazid I during the battle of Karbala. On the Day of Ashura; the day commemorating the battle, over a million Shia pilgrims flock to the city, sheltered by Blue tents. It seems that this picture was taken on that paticular day Your turn, Rakowozz.

And it is as much a skyline as Vaduz was, Myquandro, even moreso, since it has far more clues within it
