Guess the City
http://www.math.toronto.edu/~drorbn/Gallery/Symmetry/Tilings/2S22/BrickWall.jpg

The above exibit is exaggerated (not by much) to make a point: In keeping with the spirit and intent of this GTC subforum it is suggested that images be posted which contain at least a single subtle clue within, like skylines or street level scenes.

Someone actually started a thread with this beauty.

Others have posted the likes of what you see below

This is preposterous! Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting that pictures of Paris with the Eiffel tower, San Francisco with the Golden Gate bridge, or Sydney with the opera house be posted, but something less myopic than the samples cited above, some of which appear in "skylines only" threads.

I also realize that forumers are reluctant to post images that would be solved on the first guess by one of the leading "wiz kids" of the forum, but there should be a reasonable alternative between the two extremes. If you're unable to post a challenging image within forum standards, simply skip the photo altogether and ask us to guess what city you have in mind.

:soapbox:

I agree with the first two, they were totally absurd. the others at least give you a littlechance, a gothic spire and trees was difficult, but not impossible. The collapsing house suggests that it is a decaying old city...like Detroit, not impossible. In general, I agree with you. The street from above is absurd, so is that facade with gold seal on the balcony.

As for the first photo of the brick wall:
I will guess: Toronto, Madrid, Osaka? ;)

the brick wall: san francisco, panama city ? :D

the brick wall: san francisco, panama city ? :DNope. Earth!

I posted the Detroit picture right after a discussion about Detroit, it was to prove a point rather than a serious "GTC". I have to say this is my particular bete noir.

It is ridiculous.

But I have a solution and that is I realised it was stupid and refused to guess it. Then the thread dies if we all decide not to guess it.

I consider everyone can post any pics and if it is interesting people will try to guess anyway..It`s free world..

I was offended that you would even post a picture of my house before I was able to clean the yard!

Hey I knew you were so proud of your handyman skills and wouldn't mind the odd errant leaf.

But I can't hide the gas can if I don't know company's comin'!

I know and I am sorry. I forgot to say I love what you did with that tin of condemned building orange paint you stole from Walmart.

You did a better job than Ty Pennington ever could.

failistan?

I think it may be Donchadaretakemypicistan.

Nicetittiestan :)

I think if you made a move, while she could not get away she would bite your hands off!

Nah, I always wait for them to pass out first!

A graduate of the "How to make friends and drug people" school?

Who said anything about making friends? :D

BTW, apologies to the OP of this thread for detouring off topic. I didn't anticipate going from the trouble guessing a wall or a tree to having sex with drugged women. Sorry.

Wow, you were already having sex?

Wow, you were already having sex?

You mean you didn't noticed my bad typing?

You have a lot of sex if bad typing is a symptom!

Yep, I pound the keyboard "like the fist of God"!

Surely that is blasphemy unless God likes to fist?!

Ew, I never really thought to ask but since I am off to bed, no time like the present...

http://i39.tinypic.com/mw4mmh.jpgIs that supposed to be a stick in the mud?

And a mighty fine brick wall it is. Is this better?

Its the biggest and best stick in the mud I could find.

Its in the Palo Alto Baylands before anyone starts guessing!

Ew, near East Palo Alto? There could be a body in there.

Jimmy Hoffa?

No, he's still in his concrete abutment along the Lodge Freeway. Hasn't got out west yet.

you would think with all that free time he would travel more.

Nah, he's happy as long as they keep pouring. ;)
