Post photos of where you are from [Merged]

Photos of your city, your house, your country....anything like this. I want to see what it is like all over the world where us fans are from. Take a look at what is being united here :)


This was at about 5am one morning when the fog was coming off the lake. It filled the valley and looked so cool so I took a few pics. (The moon is in the sky)

Re: Post photos of where you are from

I agree with a_silver_lining. That house in Alberta, Ape, has some character going on. :)

Yay, Lorraine! London! I've been to all those places. Nice to see them again! :D

These are all within a half hour of where I live:

Re: Post photos of where you are from

I love this :D From now on when I want to take a trip somewhere, I'll come visit this thread. Lorraine I didn't really know what it looked like (though I have probably seen photos before). I'm so glad you guys are adding to this. Thank you for the compliment on my old house (well...still a young house but..ya know what I mean) I'd post my house now but I would feel funny about it for some reason.

I love that beach and the library too. Can you go in the library or is it private? What a beautiful place to read.
Lorraine that bridge is breathtaking.

Re: Post photos of where you are from

Cool thread, Ape. :) Gonna add some pix later. :yes:
 
Re: Post photos of where you are from

:) Thank you..I'm looking forward to that.^ (I'd post the pics of my house if it weren't for all those darned internet stalkers that would be outside with their binoculars and such) ..lol
 
Re: Post photos of where you are from

The Nixon Library is a memorial slash monument slash museum all about Richard Nixon. He and his wife, Patricia, are buried on the premises. He grew up in the area. And even though it is right around the corner from me, I have never been.
 
Re: Post photos of where you are from

Wow, thank you. I'm going to post some of the various bronze statues around my old city Red Deer. I believe they call them the Ghosts of Red Deer. They wanted to have more than any other city in the world or something (maybe it is per capita).

Ghosts Project Red Deer
Eight bronze sculptures depicting figures from Red Deer's history stand on guard of our streets. Have a seat beside Reverend Gaetz. Many say he is a good listener and even replies on occasion. Look into the face of the one handed man that fights to control his team of horses and feel the power and energy of the 'Sound the Alarm' ghost. Stop to see our national headliner 'Francis the Pig' who turned the Downtown upside-down when he made it his home in 1990. Each has a story worth exploring.[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]

Re: Post photos of where you are from

Ape - your photos of the fog over the lake are so nice! But you get up way to early lol!

MJkop4ever - I'm so jealous, France is so beautiful! One of these days I have to find a way to move there!

I'll be back with some pics...

Re: Post photos of where you are from

oh I love these photos :) what a beautiful world we have.

(that was only one day that I woke up that early btw..lol. My baby daughter woke me and would not return to sleep so I got up for that day that early)

I'd love to see some of South Africa and Germany! Do you have some Raylo?
 
Re: Post photos of where you are from

Wonderful, JabroniDrive! I want to be there right now! (aw, little yellow birdie perched on the fence) Thanks for sharing those. You're right, very nice places. :yes:

Is that Versailles, MjKop4ever?

Re: Post photos of where you are from

NEW YORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :sun:
Okay guys, this is the view I had while I was hospitalized against my will, it was ridiculous, its the only thing that kept me sane for a month, I'd never quite appreciated the beauty of NY before this to be honest :blush:. It's such a shame cameras weren't allowed :( (this is not my pic)

image2me0.jpg



To be more specific, I live in Staten Island New York, which is pretty much invaded with pigeons and all the streets look like this :
image5so4.jpg



And the coolest bus on Staten Island, (lol this is so typical New York) I love that someone actually took a picture of the sign :rofl:

Re: Post photos of where you are from

haha great sign. This thread really makes me want to travel. :) I'm so glad people are posting pics of their countries and cities.
 
Re: Post photos of where you are from

Ooooh let me post some :give_heart:


I have a similar thread to this on Caboodle :D

Here

But allow me to post some pictures here :)




I'm from Australia

which is a gigantic island
biggrin.gif


See!!! *points to picture*

whereintheworldisAUS.jpg


I live in a state known as Victoria
smile.gif
*points to map*

_txt_australia-map.gif


The capital of Victoria is Melbourne
happy.gif
Melbourne is considered the most liveable city in the world
biggrin.gif


Here's some images of Melbourne:

melbourne-1.jpg

In this picture you can see Rod Laver Arena (which is where the Australian Open Tennis is played and a lot of rock concerts are held here also). The river is the Yarra River and runs right through Melbourne's CBD :)

This is what my part of Victoria looks like:
melbourne-observations-map.png


I live West of Melbourne.

Looking at the above map.... look for a place called Geelong (Ap) .... now the beach area south of that point and to the East of that point is where I go when it's a nice sunny day :)


melbourne_downtown.jpg

This photo is taken on one of the bridges that cross the Yarra. The view is directed towards Flinders St Station, a beautiful old Rail station :)
On the bridge to the left side are big walls of glass.... each glass piece represents a country in the world.... it has a world map with that country shaded in and lists the different amounts of people who migrated to Melbourne from that country. It's great to walk along and observe. Melbourne is truly multicultural.

Re: Post photos of where you are from

I love going to the beach in the summer soon as we have such beautiful beaches ^_^ so I present to you Jan Juc which is a few minutes out of Torquay.
Torquay is like 25 minutes from Geelong AP *points to her first post*
wink.gif




Jan Juc

Lots and lots of stairs to get down the cliff side

I mean lots!! I carried Tika (my doggie) down the stairs LOL




JanJuc005.jpg

Tika was excited about the whole thing too
tongue.gif


JanJuc008.jpg

Along the cliffside were all sorts of caves and alcoves too
smile.gif



So we went rock pooling (which is where you go and look into rock pools and see what's in there
smile.gif
)

JanJuc007.jpg

This spot is all covered in rock pools

JanJuc009.jpg

In this rock pool there were some little sea slugs or something... you can see one it's in the centre of the photo and he's bright green!!
biggrin.gif
he has dark spots on him too
smile.gif
 
Re: Post photos of where you are from

and when he tried to go in all these bugs fell on him
laugh.gif
He come running out of there
