Here's a fun game. My friend just sent me a photo that she took in a city. Can you guess the name of the city. You can see water and snow covered mountains.

Guess the name of the city....

I'll be the first to get shot down. Geneva?

Good guess. Incorrect.

We'll do a search in Northern Italy.

Sandra?

Looks like somewhere in Europe ... or South America ? Is that a lake ???
Sigh, I give up :-(

Am intrigued though ... will come back & check regularly :-)

This gives me a good excuse to come back to Europe, G ! :-)

wrong so far. Keep guessing ;)

Lago Maggiore? And the mountains could be Monte Rosa range?

Nope...good try! ;)

oh and..I'll let more people answer before saying right or wrong...

my computer screen is so crummy in this office, i can barely see anything. so my wild stab in the dark is seattle. haha

duly noted...you're on record...a fair guess

Small and grainy photo. Can't make out the architecture. Loads of cities with water and snow covered mountains. I think I see an old church tower, so I'm thinking Europe. The low flats look newish. Blue water and those mountains must be a serious range if there's still snow because it isn't winter.
I'm thinking Switzerland, Austria, indeed north Italy though I am not familiar there.

all excellent guesses...

It cannot be Lago di Garda, the mountains close by are not that high to have that much snow. But it must be warm enough that this guy can wear a t-shirt. These iron handrails are typical for the northern Italian and Swiss lakes. Lago D'Orta?

dammit, this is gonna drive me nuts til i know the answer.

hmmmm
santiago, chile?

good guess....good sleuthing...interesting how you analyze....but not correct

hmmm...a good guess also....

G.
I couldn't get the link to open.

hahaha...somewhere in between ice cold and warm ;)

cut and paste the entire link into the address bar or your browser

any hint as to which continent its on? i really dont think europe for some reason....

can't say...but I wouldn't rule any continent out. maybe you guys can put your heads together and suss it out

hmmmm, tough one...
I don't recognise anything. Could it be the alps in the background? In that case it could be many places. Depends also if the water is salt or fresh, or perhaps a river? Could be anywhere. I'll take a pick.... Torino?

very good guess as well. I find it interesting that many people thought italy and the alps.

I wonder if the mountains are the Southern Alps but I can't think of a 'city' with a backdrop and a waterfront like that.

does la paz bolivia have any water near it?

I think, many of us think Italy or Alps because of the buildings and the (?) fastening of the lake shore, with stone piles. But on the other hand, as we all have more Christmas time than spring - snow all over, it is maybe not likely to be here, if the photo was taken today or yesterday :-)
If it is New Zealand, I'm out. I was never there.
But Chile or Argentina, the lake area, could also be. But on the other hand, their shores are more flat, so they won#t have these piles of stones.

kiwi, where is montrose, is it in nz>?

I can't spell, I mean Montreux, where Freddy Mercury lies :-) Next to Lake Geneva.
