Hmmm... tough one. The boats look European, but the bridge looks to have Islamic ornamentation on top of the piers. Istanbul?

Payman

Haha I found it... and I was waaaayyyyy off. I'll wait awhile for others to guess.

Haha, you were correct in saying you were way off.

Minpin

To me, that looks like a barge and a pilot boat; and the river looks like the Mississippi. But, the stone archs are what's throwing me off. I guess I'll just throw out a guess.

It couldn't be Memphis could it?
?Do you expect me to talk?"
"No, Mr Bond. I expect you to die!?

hotrodalex

Nope. But closer than Istanbul. :ohyeah:

Minpin

Hmm. I'm still thinking Mississippi River..

New Orleans?

"No, Mr Bond. I expect you to die!?

hotrodalex

Nope.

By the way, I do not know when this picture was taken. I wouldn't base the location on the background completely, since it may or may not have changed.

Minpin

This has to be somewhere in America. They just don't have boats like that elsewhere...


Norfolk?

hotrodalex

It is in America. But not Norfolk.

Minpin

Cincinnati is the last guess I got.

Yup. Do you know what bridge it is?

Seriously? I just threw out a wild guess, so no.  :lol:

I kinda concentrated more on the water and barge traffic. So thought about cities that have that kind of water and then thought which ones would have barge traffic as well. Got lucky, too.  :lol:

It's the Roebling Bridge, built by the same dude that later built the Brooklyn Bridge.

You can take it if you would like; I can't think of a city interesting enough for me to make one.

If I wanted it this would have been over yesterday.  :lol:

I'll see if I can find something...
