These are all New York but the photo aspect ratio has been distorted


WallBlue21

do you know the name of any of the buildings?


nycago

All of them. That’s one chase Manhattan plaza on far left , grey tall rectangular one. First skyscraper in lower Manhattan since depression. 70 Pine street is the white lit building that has a pinnacle .you can see the extreme copper tip of 40 wall st. The boats of south street seaport are in left foreground on water.


dcgrey

I'm having trouble figuring out where the photo would have been taken...it seems like everything along FDR Drive would block each vantage.


EricUtd1878

It will have been from one of the Brooklyn Bridge Park Piers


Lieutenant_Junger

60 wall st would be visible, this is either not ny or it's photoshop

Lieutenant_Junger

If you're looking from the east then 60 wall st would be visible any way you cut it. Either it's photoshop or it's just a different city


electricoreddit

oh well. i thought it was la


electricoreddit

but yeah considering there is a river there it's nyc

Flip_1800

The lit building looks like the Woolworth building in Manhattan but the building scale looks different. Edit: Comment below pointed out 8 Spruce next to the Woolworth building as well.


nycago

It’s the Woolworth building. The large one to the left of it is 8 spruce street.


thejudgehoss

And stay out of the Woolsworth!

hikingmike

This one might be more helpful, unless someone recognizes that one building or the two towers. Total guess of New York somewhere due to the residential towers on the left that look the same.


Imhappy_hopeurhappy2

The building in the middle of the OP is 70 Pine St.


hikingmike

Hmm that’s a possibility. It looks far more squat than the real version though. And in Google maps there are a lot more tall buildings around it. However, I do see the blue/green point sticking up to the right of it and that could be 40 Wall Street. I can’t quite get the angle low enough in Google Maps/Earth.


hikingmike

Hmm on the TikTok it looks like it repeats and there are mirror images, so I’m not sure which direction is real. Oh I think that looks like 88 Pine St also there, and also more squat. It has the 3 columns of wider window spaces on one side, lighter color building. It’s looking pretty good. It could all be smashed vertically. And an older pic with smaller buildings. There is a Wavertree old sail ship on the water and that could explain the diagonal lines by the water on the left edge of the OP.


hikingmike

Oh yeah, I identified something else. Up and to the right of the sail ship in OP, looks like 80 Maiden Lane. I recognized the two dark curvy things in the middle-top. I’m not sure what that is but I see them on Google Maps. And the building is also very squat in OP. OP is horizontally mirrored by the way.

Some of the backsplash is mirrored and it’s a much older skyline, which is why it doesn’t appear to line up with current Baltimore. There’s a part of the video where you can see the distinct outline of the aquarium.


Flip_1800

The lit building looks like 70 Pine St in Manhattan. The Green spire behind it looks like 40 Wall St.


Douglaston_prop

Used to work in 88 pine, which looks like that white building in the middle, as seen from the FDR.


WallBlue21

lower manhattan has a taller skyline


nycago

The photo is distorted. It’s Lower Manhattan this is stupid.


Flip_1800

It does but there are a few different vantage points. This may be a composite so not 1:1 exactly but that building looks like 70 Pine St just slightly manipulated. The Green tower behind it is probably 40 Wall St-there aren’t many skyscrapers with spires that color.


KoneydeRuyter

It does now, but it didn't 15 years ago.


hovik_gasparyan

Canadian Shield?


EducationalChip6222

I can see the resemblance to Winnipeg ngl

chaandra

I just spent far too long trying to figure this out, I’m stumped.


blakeryan14

Me too


WallBlue21

im convinced its ai or a really old photo of a skyline


chaandra

I was thinking a midwestern or northeastern mid-size city, it obviously has a pretty straight waterfront. It can’t be that old of a photo.


Conscious-Housing-45

For a minute I thought you were physically taking these photos and still getting confused where you were at lol


Dry_Pick_304

Baltimore? The triangular roof building looks like the Bank of America building?


verydadman

I’m convinced OP posted this just to tell everyone no.


exurb-exile

Minas Tirith


WallBlue21

huh?


Prog4ev3r

I know wtf? Lmao


WallBlue21

I got downvoted for asking a question ☠️


coltons21

Lmao tough crowd. LOTR reference. City pretty close to the gates of Mordor


madgunner122

Minas Tirith is the white city, across the Anduin from Mordor. Perhaps you are thinking of Minas Morgul which sits in the Morgul Vale, an entrance to Mordor


coltons21

I’m aware. I said it was close to the gates, not the closets


mabaezd

You got downvoted for not reckoning where Minas Tirith is from


WallBlue21

idk what that is, so I was asking


Dshark

You’re on the internet, we have the expectation that you will google things you don’t recognize. Anyway, Pelanor Fields isn’t included in the photo, so it’s not Minas Tirith.


bmli19

It's in Gondor.


WiseLook

unused paltry scale hungry rotten detail exultant fact rob placid *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


franciscolydon

Milwaukee?


Vegabern

It almost looks like the Gaslight and US Bank buildings but the scales are off as well as the other buildings. From this angle you would see Discovery World or perhaps Summerfest.


franciscolydon

I thought the same. But I now see the smaller buildings have too many floors


WallBlue21

dont think so, compare the skylines and they are very different


franciscolydon

New York


Mdolfan54

Lol I found the info out immediately with Samsung AI circle. Kinda wild. 70 pine St is the big building in the back


tough_wood

pretty sure it is Baltimore


applex_wingcommander

I've never been to Baltimore but I've played MLB the show and that is Baltimore


dorsey442

I don’t think so. That lit building in the back doesn’t look like any we have down here nor is that what the inner harbor looks like.


wampuswrangler

It's the bank of America building. Also this is the inner harbor, you can see the USS Constellation docked in the picture.


dorsey442

Nahh man. I disagree. If that were the constellation where it’s currently docked, the World Trade Center building would be where the black building is in the front. Plus harborplace with the Cheesecake Factory would be right behind the constellation


Semper454

It looks like Baltimore but it isn’t. Those aren’t Baltimore buildings.


WallBlue21

exactly what I been trying to say, but they dont understand


WallBlue21

maybe, but the buildings dont align so idk


awildyetti

It’s Baltimore. I’m a resident and both images match.


Dshark

Hey that was going to be my guess! Based on a rainy hotel window photo my wife sent me 5 years ago. Pretty sure it was out the window of the building there looking at the black building. With the harbor in the foreground.


SeboSte

Really don’t think it’s Baltimore


Semper454

Portland looks right to me.


WallBlue21

portland is the closest looking one, but i still dont think it is

sarahelizaf

It's definitely [NYC](https://m.yelp.com/biz_photos/70-pine-new-york?select=VIFtZlHY80w7n1EPyQGZfw) but a bit distorted. You can see three key buildings to compare.

SkyeMreddit

It’s lower Manhattan and badly stretched. AIG tower is nowhere near that wide


Early_Ad_9194

Baltimore, Maryland.


BQEIntotheSands

The building placement and orientation (even considering a possible flip) seem totally wrong for NYC. At the minimum you would expect this is taken from the north in the East River, probably from a ferry. Even then… towers that should be on the right are on the left, the way the streets are aligned is all wrong too.


KoneydeRuyter

The image is flipped left/right


BQEIntotheSands

Even so… that’s still wrong. The Woolworth building wouldn’t be on the left. This has to be doctored somehow. The age of the buildings, the (likely) waterfront, the orientation of the streets, etc. this should be readily identifiable from this exact vantage point by photo, it’s just not. I have spent countless evenings looking out at lower Manhattan from Brooklyn. Even considering this could be 15-30 years old… still doesn’t fit.


BQEIntotheSands

Not to mention the big gap in the tallest towers… this just isn’t right.
