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

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

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?

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.

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


Norfolk?

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...
