Name that country

[JaiDee]

I will name 3 US cities;  which one is furthest south, then 2nd, then which one is the most northern one?

 

  Jacksonville

  San Diego

  Honolulu

[Patrick]

Furthest south   Honolulu

I think Jacksonvilleis in Florida, if so it would be further south than San Diego, (hopefully). Furthest North San Diego

[Patrick]

JaiDee has given me an idea:

Rank these three cities furthest north:

Edinburgh

Moscow

Copenhagen.

[SiamSam]

Copenhagen

Edinburgh

Moscow

[pdogg]

From north to south

 

Honolulu    north

San Diego 

Jax             south

[pdogg]

For Lefty's pic I'll guess Iceland.

[JaiDee]

Furthest south   Honolulu

 Patrick nailed this one...... Honolulu is at 27 degrees longitude, JAX is at 30 and San Diego is it 32.

[Patrick]

Not Copenhagen, Edinburgh, Moscow, Sam

[Lefty]

For Lefty's pic I'll guess Iceland.

Nope. :)

[Patrick]

I'll try France

[Lefty]

I'll try France

That's a bingo!

Howdy all, i seem to have come to this party a bit late but here is a tester for you. Any ideas of the city 

[JaiDee]

I will go with Herat in Afghanistan.

 

2nd choice; Muscat.

On the right track with the first one JD, part of the same empire. The monument in the pic survived even the most unwelcome of visitors oul Genghis

Cheers mate, hope all is well with you. Although the city is one of two famous ones in that country and it may be the other one that you are talking about

[Bumblebeee]

Samarkand?

[Wildrover]

Very close BB, same country

Here is Samarkand, oasis for travellers for centuries...according to Alexander the great the melons there are the finest in the world,  the size of horse's heads... he wasnt wrong

[Wildrover]

The first two pics are of the Kalyan minaret in Bukhara, Uzbekistan - many a person where unceremoniously thrown off the top of it over the centuries.

Wondering can anyone put a name on this cracking historic city

[JaiDee]

Last 3 pics; Havana?

[Wildrover]

Howdy JD. its not Havana but the seafront is certainly a dead ringer for the Malecon

[JaiDee]

San Juan, P.R.?

[JaiDee]

Some of the readers of this forum surely live in the country THIS place can be found;

I know Beiruit has a prom called the Corniche which is supposed to look like Havana so could that be it WR?

no i didnt get the minaret after all.....i thought it was samarkand also..............i;m guessing south america for the last fotos.....buenos aires?

[Wildrover]

Not Beirut or Buenos Aires lads but Cadiz, many say it's the oldest city in Europe at around 3,000 years old

They used it to stand in for Havana in Die Another Day, Halle Berry and all that. It gets overlooked by many visitors as there are a lot of heavyweight tourist destinations in Andalucia
