Greenrider Tresa · Nov 11 2010, 03:00 PM

The stupid thing is; I'm darn sure I know that 'spring onion' building on the left!!!

Brenda · Nov 12 2010, 11:16 AM

You mean the tower that looks like a Christmas ornament?

Lily · Nov 12 2010, 04:48 PM

And I zoomed in on that ancient roman looking colloseum and wondered Rome, but it's not that.

Poor P'ter! Well considering it's 42 days until xmas AEST

so yes it does look a xmas ornament

- I'd agree with you on that one Brenda but....

No to Beijing.

Brenda · Nov 14 2010, 11:56 AM

I'm surprised people are guessing cities rather than countries! You have to start out broad before you can narrow it down to a city!

Lily · Nov 14 2010, 03:48 PM

Let's try China then

jube · Nov 15 2010, 12:54 AM

Looks we're playing again, woohoo and YES to Lily

P'ter · Nov 15 2010, 03:19 AM

That water looks rather flat for seaside: so on a river?

Lily · Nov 15 2010, 02:49 PM

Yay! Got it!

It's Shanghai, sitting at the mouth of the Yangtse river

jube · Nov 15 2010, 03:16 PM

Well done to Brenda and Hans who pm'd me the correct answer and Lily for getting it right too in the public arena. YAY!

Brenda · Nov 18 2010, 10:40 AM
