Galway Bay and the city of Galway/Ireland.

Galway Bay and the city of Galway/Ireland.

You sir are either a genius or an idiot savant.

Personally I tend toward the former.

However , here we need a referee.

The first picture (which I joked about posting)

is indeed the sun going down over Galway Bay

(stop singing lads we're trying to have a conversation

here) but the second picture is another connurbation

some distance away.

??? What to do ???

You're right. I just guessed the Galway Bay; city is wrong.

Is it Salthill ?

LaoPo

Different country , same continent.

Stop looking at the first picture please

IT WAS JUST A JOKE !

you could have saved me some time....

"different country, same continent": what's that supposed to mean?

Britain or Europe ?

You speak riddles.

LaoPo

Jeez , did you ever wish you hadn't started something ?

The first picture was just a joking reference to a

previous poster's offering.

The "city" I posted is in the second picture.

It is not in Ireland or Britain but it is in

Europe.

Now if you're getting vexed go and read

some chidrens' stories.

Rouen..

Rouen..

Nope

I was looking for another pic to move this along

and found this one. I thought it was pretty and

it does have a SMALL clue in it if you look.

Copenhagen

Close but no cigar (yet)

It's actually a quite boring roll-the-sidewalks-up-at-9pm

sort of burgh but they do have an Irish pub which was

handy , me being stuck there on Paddy's day.

Odense?

Odense?

Yes , well done sir.

Your turn.

OK - here we go:

Looks like a statue of Don Quixote.

Granada in Spain ?

Right continent wrong country...

Looks like a mouseketeer. France somewhere.

Spot on with France, although the statue is not of a mouseketeer! (Or Dogtanian, for that matter!)

With respect Jez, but this is sitting here for 6 days and going nowhere.

The initial game of this topic is about 'What's the city' (and/or a famous landmark).

France is very big and has literally millions of statues/sculptures.

I've searched what I could but found nothing.....

Now, come on and post a picture of the city or another hint in order not to let this thread go beserk and neglected.

OK LP - just for you:

However, I think the statue is more of a clue if you look more closely - it's of a well known fictional character who was named after the city - now if you don't get it from that, you need to go back to school!

Bergerac

Bergerac

That slipped my mind also, but Cyrano de Bergerac really existed:

"Savinien de Cyrano de Bergerac (March 6, 1619 – July 28, 1655) was a French dramatist and duellist born in Paris, who is now best remembered for the many works of fiction which have been woven around his life story, most notably the play by Edmond Rostand which bears his name (see Cyrano de Bergerac (play)). In those fictional works he is featured with an overly large nose"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrano_de_Bergerac

Only later he was remembered and further re-created as a fictional figure.

Therefore the quote of Jez "it's of a well known fictional character who was named after the city" is a kind of misleading.

Just my opinion.

Bergerac it is!

Sorry to be slightly misleading - the fictional Cyrano had a rather large nose, as does the statue (It has to be replaced several times a year due to souvenir hunters hacking it off!)

Well done Farangsay - your go...

OK Try this one

Croydon?

Leningrad? If not it looks terrible anyway and refugees have rights to move.

Croydon?

Err , no

Came across this one which gives a beginnings of a clue

Khartoum?

Khartoum?

Not Khartoum (not Africa)
