Can anyone guess the city?

Here's a photo I took somewhere on my way back, can you guess where?

(for those who haven't seen the last posts, guess before you look!)

No idea. The water's such a pretty turqouise so it definately can't be anywhere along the Deleware, New Jersey shoreline! :D

Is this in the US? I'm guessing Miami or Daytona?

I don't know, it doesn't look US to me, but, I'm sure I'm totally off. Any hints? :)

for me looks like italy but i'm not sure or is it in the US??

I doesn't look like Italy as there wouldn't have been a city with these checkered streets so close to the sea.

Thus I suppose it's the US. Can't get any closer.

Randi is this a real question- i.e. would you like to know or is it just a puzzle for us?

For all puzzlers: Randi flew from LA to Chicago and from Chicago to Paris- so she could have seen a West Coast city, a lake Michigan city or an East Coast city:D

Edit: by looking at a Chicago map I think it could be a view of Lake Shore Dr. in the direction of Montrose Harbour: Sara, waddya say?

LOL! It's a "puzzle" for you guys. :D I know for sure (almost) that 2 PTalkers will be able to tell which city it is!

Read my last lines Randi- it's not only Debbie and Sara:D

There appears to be some smog hovering over this city, so I am going to guess it is somewhere in California. Maybe Long Beach (?). I have been away for many years so I am just guessing.

Doesn't look like enough tall buildings to be Chicago.

This is interesting! :D Does it really take a European to guess it right?? Yes, Barbara, it IS Chicago!

My first immediate reaction was Chicago because I knew you flew out of here, but I didn't recognize it at all. Where's the Sears Tower? Where's Soldier Field? Where's the Amoco building (or Aon I guess it is now)? Where's Navy Pier? I'm thinking this view is all South of the main city and that's why I didn't recognize it. :o Seems I need to reacquaint myself with the city. ;) :o :)

Debbie, I was probably slow and it's half way out of town, but I thought you'd recognise it. It also could be sharper. At least we didn't run into a thunderstom, athough it was expected. :)

I know, I know....of course by now you have already solved the puzzle.

Many years ago I took my niece on a trip. She was about 10. We were flying back and she told me we were almost to O'Hare. I thought we couldn't be! I looked out the window and sure enough...there was the skyline. Her response to me was "I know my Chicago!" And now she lives there.....:D :cool: :D

My first thought was that it was Chicago but the sand threw me. I don't know why (because I've been around the Great Lakes before), but I didn't expect to see as much sand as is in the photo.
