Guess the Skyline!

[ML8991]

Especially the basillica of saint peter, with its approaching promenade .
I'll attempt something a bit easier this time. And look dei, its bigger

 

[ShilkaLive]

Must be the bridge over golden horn bay in Vladivostok

Damn this boy is good.
GG @ShilkaLive , ibh i was surprised you didn't get Northampton, being the absolute master of this game it seems,
what's your method oh wise one?

 

[ShilkaLive]

Well, there's not that many cable-stayed bridges with the pylons leaning outwards like that... Other then that, no real method other then initial intuition and nitpicking at points of interest I see in the picture. Anyway, will post new picture soon

 

[ShilkaLive]

Here's the new picture:

 

[ML8991]

Toledo, spain?
Edit: well, that was a bad guess

 

[taZZy]

La Paz?

Toledo, spain?

Errr, nope indeed Toledo looks nothing like the picture, and also is short of a couple million of inhabitants compared to the city I posted....

La Paz?

It's not La Paz, but a much better guess already

Muses on next answer.

That... is Medellin, Columbia... The weird pointy building matched no other cityscape on the continent but that
Thanks for the South America clue, it narrowed it down significantly

Sorry, didn't mean any disrespect. Must admit it made me chuckle

Very well done, it is indeed Medellín! The weird pointy building is the Coltejer building, named after the Coltejer textile company, and it is said the building was shaped this way to resemble a sewing needle. Indeed one of the landmarks standing out in this picture.

Your turn @Nyanako !

 

[ML8991]

I was messing, sorry i forgot my typical

 

[Nyanako]

Its definitely a unique building!
This one might be hard, since the citys most prominent landmark (which, if it was in the picture, it'd be a no contest) is not in this particular picture (instead its off to the right of the camera); so I'll give you a clue; as Nyanko is prone to doing
This city is more important than its size would generally indicate.

 

[ShilkaLive]

Awww, too late, I think? Was looking for a capital city that is small in comparison, on red soil... XD

 

[Nyanako]

Looks like Canberra.. I think I have been on this place where this picture has been taken.

Canberra it is!

Canberra; in the Australian Capital Territory is the capital of the Commonwealth of Australia. With a population of 380,000, it is Australia's 8th largest city, and Australia's largest inland city. A planned city, designed by Walter Burley Griffin, Canberra was chosen as the capital because Sydney and Melbourne couldn't agree on who should be the capital; they chose somewhere almost half way between the two cities. It is home to what Trip Advisor says is one of the best tourist attractions in the world, the Australian War Memorial, which is at the bottom of this image. Because this was got so fast, I might have to pull another Urumqi out of my hat next time...

Your turn, Akeela

 

[delpiero1234]

I skip. If you want to you can take the next turn.

Since Shilka seems to be offline, maybe you should go next?

 

[ML8991]

Ulaanbaatar, mongolia?

 

[ML8991]

The yurts in the foreground gave it away too quickly for me .
All the best here, a nice far away shot, for extra challenge .

 

[ShilkaLive]

Looks like one of the fast growers again.... Gosh, I'd never want to live in of those walls of highrises.... Don't have time to google endlessly for golfcourse pics though...
Hengyang?

 

[ML8991]

Nope,not Hengyang
