	If all goes well, I would like to make a sequel to this quiz. If you have any suggestions for the sequel, feel free to comment and leave a suggestion. Thanks.

	Nicely done, I liked it a lot. I would like to see a sequel to this quiz. Perhaps cities at night as a sequel?

	Great quiz! Nice selection of cities with recognizable features. However, my hat's off to anyone who gets #10 from that picture.

	Lovely quiz indeed. I wouldn't mind seeing your beautiful Seattle in the sequel, if only to dispel the notion that it never stops raining. (I'd give you an instant nomination if you could manage to find Bishkek.)

	Excellent pictures! Fun quiz. Kicking myself for not getting New York.

	I wouldn't exactly call #10 a landmark, but great quiz nonetheless. I like the way the pictures are set up so that the most intense orange is in the bottom row.

	Sunrise on Portland is amazing. If you're looking for new cities.

	Great quiz! Amazing pictures! The only problem was that I had to keep scrolling up to see the top row of pictures then fill in the answer. Still, it was good.

	#14 is an awesome picture.

	The Iwo Jima Memorial is actually in Arlington VA. I knew what you meant and there are DC landmarks in the background but it might be nice if you accepted Arlington as well

	I don't mean to get nitpicky about things that don't even matter, but I have reason to believe at least one of these is actually a sunset. But seriously, this is a really great quiz! Nicely done!

	Amazing photos. Where did they come from? Great quiz too.

	You should have done one with Detroit...oh wait the sun never rises in detroit

	I love the Washington D.C. sunrise with the Vietnam memorial, very beautiful

	puckett86:	May 23rd, 2011 at 01:37 GMT	10 points
	@nowaybrah76 That's actually the Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, VA. It's a statue of the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima. The Vietnam Memorial is on the other side of the Potomac, actually in D.C. Completely agree though that it's a beautiful shot, and it's also a beautiful memorial.

	The images alone are worth five stars.

	Jakarta is really hard to guess! Nice quiz!

	macakzorz10:	May 23rd, 2011 at 22:56 GMT	3 points
	Very nice quiz with very nice pictures, but I'd say that all the pictures in the bottom row are all sunsets.

	tahitiwahini:	May 24th, 2011 at 18:10 GMT	5 points
	Great quiz! I would say that the picture of Sydney is a sunset rather than a sunrise since the only way that the Syndey Opera House can appear to the left of the Sydney Harbor Bridge is if you are facing west. I could even see how someone familiar with the Dubai skyline could determine if it were a sunrise or sunset, but in the Istanbul picture of the Blue Mosque it's symmetrical, isn't it? Could be taken from either the western or eastern side, no? And the picture of a pyramid in Giza could go either way too, couldn't it? It seems to me that one needs two identify two things in a picture to determine what vantage point it was taken from when the one item present is symmetrical.

	Great idea and great quiz,Jakarta makes me 15/16...

	Berubium:	May 27th, 2011 at 00:19 GMT	2 points
	ditto to what the guy above me said :D

	Sequel idea: Sunset pics. New York should definitely be accepted, of course, but it should say New York City once you enter it.

	#10 JAKARTA is completely NON-DESCRIPT.

	Rooster:	May 31st, 2011 at 17:42 GMT	4 points
	fun quiz...but that Jakarta one could only be got by 1) guessing or 2) living in that exact part of Jakarta and recognizing 4 totally bland buildings

	Tommy_C:	Jun 1st, 2011 at 16:13 GMT	4 points
	Frankfurt is tough but fair. The picture from Jakarta could be anywhere. You should substitute.

	Imperium:	Jun 5th, 2011 at 10:13 GMT	3 points
	Jakarta needs to be substituted, it's too general. @tahitiwahini Giza is a sunset, as a sunrise would include either parts of the Great Pyramid, or parts of Cairo in the backround rather than a flat horizon. The blue Mosque is a sunrise as those hills are on the asian side of the Bosphoros, and on the basis that I don't think you can actually get a picture of the Burj al-Khalifa from the west like that, Dubai's is a sunset as well.

	@All: Some of you are correct when stating that some pictures are sunsets. I made a note on the quiz and I hope that doesn't make you too upset. Pictures of sunrises at some of these places were either 1) too easy or 2) there weren't any pictures that were interesting or well-taken. Thanks everyone for all your kind words and help.
