Skyline #5.

I zoomed in that skyline photo to determine read the signs of the highways that crossed in Tulsa. When I posted my success, I still hadn’t identified the Honolulu satellite image yet.

There were a couple of other skylines I pegged first, but those were obvious (or, at least, instantly recognizable to me), and you did say “non-obvious”, which Tulsa definitely was.

Well done!

The lead engineers sit a cubicle row over from me and were talking of who would have to go to certain flight test locales that were listed on some list. The county in which this skyline is from was mentioned as being a place on the list, because of its high winter winds being suitable for flight testing.

Lead A: “Who wants to go to [country] in winter? I don’t.”

Lead B: “Yeah, I’ll take Japan, or Montana, but certainly not [country] in winter.”

Me: “I’d go. It sounds fun.”

Anyway, so then I decided to research on Wikipedia a bit to see just how bad the winters are there. And there, I saw a photo of the church that seemed oddly familiar… from Mike’s skyline!

So, I have the answer. And I know the name of the church. I don’t know the significance of the pier though.

You’d think I would have known this one when the photos were first posted.

Consider:
a) I’ve always wanted to go here.
b) This city is a sister city of Seattle.
b) It’s in the Carmen Sandiego game, man!

Denver? Hmm. I’ve been there. Shame on me. It looked like a much smaller city from the photo.
