GTC - STOP THE MADNESS NOW!

Guess the City

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.

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?

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.

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 could post a picture of a stick in the mud and some would find that interesting, but that's besides the point...
