What's The City

[Old Croc]

Or maybe you two experts can give us poor novices some tips and websites as where to look? Many thanks.....

A tip - Interest in geography and travel, patience, obcession and a lack of life outside the forum.

OK. This is a site I use to find some of the cities. Many of the pics are quite old and often the one needed is missing. It can be a help at times.

world cities

Thanks Old Croc,apart from having an avid interest in travel/geography a few website pointers does help otherwise this 'game' is limited to the few 'in the know'.Whose turn is it?

[Old Croc]

It's LaoPo's turn. He's trying to find a village with about 20 people and two dogs in it because my last one was smallish!

[Momo8]

Hahaha got a website where we can search for villages?Better not pee him off or he may just do that.

[Zpete]

I have fun looking and wasting me B/B alowance...LOL

One day my time will come to post another "EASY" one.

Tis a good effort this.

[LaoPo]

What's the City:

I know you guys like BIG photos...so here's one...

LaoPo

[Momo8]

If only one could make out that beer sign.Somewhere in England?

[LaoPo]

No, not UK and not Scandinavia or Baltic or Germany/Poland.

It's on the European mainland, but on a coast not a lake.

Isteria ?

[Old Croc]

Porec?

[LaoPo]

Isteria ?...do you mean Istria ?

If so, the answer is NO.

Also not Porec.

Both places are in the wrong country.

LaoPo

Yes I probably did. Much like my feeble attempt at a Chinese city, I try to do these off the top of my head.....It's never worked yet..............Sorry.

I know what you mean....they all look alike, most of them.

But your guess wasn't too far off; correct part of the world so to speak.

[Old Croc]

Budva?

[LaoPo]

No and not in Montenegro.

LaoPo

[Old Croc]

Is it in Italy, perhaps Sardinia?

[suiging]

Anyway, this place had a scenic value I wanted to share with other players, and I for one, learnt a lot more about an Island I was fairly ignorant about previously.

I agree Croc; we all learned a lot with this game. I learned about places I didn't know they existed. Searching for places brings you around the world and increases your knowledge considerably.

However, I feel sorry there are just a few players and I wonder if it is 'non-interest' or that other members are 'afraid' for playing along....?

Or, maybe they know everything already....

LaoPo

May be the graphic requirements mean people " In country" do not have the connection speeds to search ?

That is another disappointing reason for people to miss out on this, because the more the better for this thread in my opinion.

However, there's a thread elsewhere about rich and poor and if one should feel guilty if you have an abundance of riches.

While sympathetic and understanding of the bandwidth deprived, I feel no guilt for my ability to fly, figuratively, through the cities of the world.

Somewhere in France?

[LaoPo]

Not Sardinia....not Italia...

Not France.

LaoPo

[Momo8]

Somewhere around the Black Sea?

[LaoPo]

Somewhere around the Black Sea?

No, sorry. That's too far East.

LaoPo

[LaoPo]

Bump.

I re-post the photo:

To help a bit, I re-post the NON places:

Not UK and not Scandinavia or Baltic or Germany/Poland. It's on the European mainland, but on a coast not a lake.

Not in Croatia nor Montenegro nor Italy, nor France.

Not around the Black Sea, so not one of the countries surrounding the Black Sea.

Izola

Izola

Correct; it was a tough one..., I know. Your turn Sir Croc.

LaoPo

I should have got it much earlier. I looked closely at Piran, but totally missed Izola, the next village up the coast.

A new one shortly.
