What's The City

[LaoPo]

Good Morning and a Very Happy New Year to All.

I would like to hazzard a guess and see if it is in Japan somewhere.

Happy New Year !

Sorry, but not Japan, in fact not in Asia at all.

[Old Croc]

I was thinking northern Europe, perhaps Germany?

Bother ! Back to the Drawing Board

Then I would like to suggest the North American Continent simply because of the look of trees .

That's the first good guess in 2008, LK

To be more specific as a nice hint to start the year positive:

It's the USA.

Well as I seem to be running hot let me try another stab and say that it is a city near the Great Lakes, possibly Detroit ?

Is it Portland, Oregon?

[LaoPo]

Is it Portland, Oregon?

Yes, it is; well done Croc. You recovered remarkably well after New Year's Eve...

I must have checked hundreds of cities since this was posted. I have four big lists of US cities and this was near the bottom of the fourth one, and even then I wasn't sure as I couldn't find anything with the same angle as your picture.

A new (hard) one shortly.

LaoPo

Sorry to mislead. It's a web site that stores photos of cities from virtually every country. Many thousands of pictures all together.

The Usa list is so big they have divided it, alphabetically by state, into four separate lists.

I'm not quite that bad.

What's this city?

[Florin]

Brasov, Romania

[Old Croc]

I think we might be using the same web site Florin. I found your picture of Windhoek on the one I use, and you seem to have had little trouble with this one.

Your turn to post a city.

[Florin]

I actually Googled for Windhoek, and have stayed in Brasov many times, my father comes from just a few kilometers outside the city, I'd recognize the Black Church area anytime

Anyways, here's one:

[Old Croc]

Kinshasa?

[Florin]

No, but you're VERY close!

[LeungKen]

'

Kinshasa ?

[Old Croc]

Bukavu?

Hi Professor, and welcome to the game "What's The City"

Here are the rules as the OP set them up in the beginning:

Here is a new game called 'What's the City?"

All you do is post a photo of a city or a famous landmark in the city.

If no-one can guess, then clues can be given.

Unfortunately you can't post an image before the previous one has been guessed by one of the players. That particular player can post a new image of a city unless he/she give up his/her turn for whatever reason. In that case the first one who sees such a message can post.

Have fun !

[mrbojangles]

Lusaka, Zambia

[Florin]

Not Bukavu, not Lusaka...Bukavu and Kinshasa are about equally close to it

[Old Croc]

Lubumbashi?

[Florin]

...also known as Elizabethville, Lubumbashi is correct!

[Old Croc]

What's the City?

[Old Croc]

It's in Europe.

[Florin]

Looks like Eastern Europe to me...Poland?

[Old Croc]

It's not in Poland.

It's an area that has seen much conflict, disruption and separation in recent years.
