Josephine. I think that would be a great name for the skyline.

(I'm surprised it doesn't already have a name. )

The ugly round tower on the left side of the picture reminds me of a building in Tampa that I used to drive by. But some of the buildings I don't recognize. ... though, it's been a long time since I lived down there.

St.Ives, Cornwall, UK - from a rare and lesser known angle admittedly..

Re: Name the Skyline

Knowing that the right answer (but not the only answer by the way!) may have been already posted, I always post my answer before reading down, as many others here do!!

If you read carefully, many were still guessing AFTER post #9, which gave the name out for all to read, who had not read the whole blog......simple!!

I am basically never the first to read a blog!!

When after posting my guess, I read down, and I was very unsure as to the accuracy of my answer.....

It also demonstrates seemingly, that few people from this area are online here!!!

What was the point of your post? You wanted to be recognised as the first one maybe? You know, who else should we tell?

I should have marked my response as off topic.

Just amused that a "late" response identical to another is given a GA - it looks "stacked"

Nothing personal meant.

It's like having a discussion with the spouse -

As you well know, I did not and could not post a GA to myself.

Also, I have NO idea who actually posted it as they did not identify themselves...nor are they required to either.....

They obviously felt that I had earned it more!!! (because of my jokes online maybe?)

Shoot, I'm looking at this a bit late. I live in Tampa. Very familiar site to me.

Fredski --- if Tampa Bay is the correct answer - why not a GA for all those who got it right?
