Photos of your CITY or TOWN

[Cotties]

I've been looking at photos today of different cities around the world.

If you could post a picture here it would be great. If not tell me where you are from and I'll take pleasure in finding it and posting it here.[while the mood lasts anyway]

Let me know a city or large enough town ...I don't care if you have a house in the mountains. Just tell me what mountain.

Sydney Aust
This is where I grew up. I miss it. It has about 5 million people.

Its a beautiful city........

[Jy]

I was born and raised in London, Ontario, Canada. It's just over 350,000 people. I've lived all over Canada and came back here to raise my son so he would know his grandmothers. It's a beautiful city with the feel of an overgrown town; very community oriented.

This is where I have been for about 8years...why I'll never know...it is always eye opening.....dull is just not a word that I can associate with this place..

http://www.bangkok-photos.com/frameme.php?page=bangkok-views.htm

it has about 10,000,000 people... records say 6mil but taxes are less if you don't register here and stay registered in the countryside..

[Sandy]

[Shiane]

This is where I work, I spend 3 days a week here and thats plenty. Too much traffic, too much concrete. It is a nice city, and I love it, but definately not a place I want to call home.
http://www.tulsa.com/gallery/

Couldn't find any pictures of the town close to me, umm cuz theres only about 1380 residents. No stop lights, 1 grocery store, a couple of convenient stores and thats about it besides a bunch of cows.:D

[Norfolkdave]

I couldn't find anything about the town I live in because it's such a small little hick town.

But, I did find a website that shows the area we go camping & fishing at. It's pretty close to where I live

How nice to see places where you live, I often wonder whats its like when Im talking to you all on here, ZP with his mountains and Spare with colorado, I envy you guys in the states as it seems so large and pretty, Jazzy in Canada, everywhere else seems clean and beautiful.

It looks like a big city. How many people and whats the city known for? Bussiness wise or culturally......It also looks freezzing with lots of new and old architecture.......This is where I work, I spend 3 days a week here and thats plenty.

It looks like a big city. How many people and whats the city known for? Business wise or culturally......It also looks freezzing with lots of new and old architecture.......

Tulsa is the second-largest city in Oklahoma. As of the revised 2004 census report, the city had a total population of 387,807, with 930,842 in the greater metro area. Tulsa is the 45th largest city in the United States and the 93rd largest city in North America.

Tulsa, while no longer the Oil Capital of the World, is still an important energy center. Other important industries include aerospace, telecom, high tech, insurance, car rental companies, and river transportation.

This link actually shows more of what the city has to offer.

I have been seaching for Spares home. I had to do it myself as he can be a hard case. {as some newbies may call him}.

Its somewhere in the photo, I just know it is. When I asked around, I was just given a cold look by many locals.

Any ideas about Spares location.??????...I figured this would be a good place to start....

[spare_change]

In my years, I have travelled all over the world -and lived in most parts. None of them has captured my attention like Colorado Springs.

Colorado Springs is located on a high desert mesa at the base of Pike's Peak (the base!! We are 6000 ft above sea level, and we look down on those people in the "Mile High City - Denver!). The city is spread out over miles, and conforms to foothills, with its valleys and canyons. Some areas of the city don't even seem to be connected to the rest of the city.

Because we are tucked up against the mountains, we get very little snow and rain. We average about 320 days a year of sunshine.

I can't begin to capture the elegance and magnificence of the scenery here. But, I have captured a few pictures from the Web just to give you a taste.

This picture shows you the relationship of the city to Pike's Peak. The town is about 500,000 people.

http://real-estate-colorado-springs-co.com/

This picture is one of several streams that run thru the foothills.

http://www.nd.edu/~sweber/about_me/travel/CO_MNT.JPG (http://www.nd.edu/%7Esweber/about_me/travel/CO_MNT.JPG)

Seven Falls is located right in Colorado Springs. To get a sense of the size, note the car at the bottom of the falls.

http://www.coloradoresort.com/attractions/images/sc_sfalls.jpg

In town, we have a park called Garden of the Gods - a beautiful place to visit.

http://www.spadout.com/articles/USA/CO/Colorado%20Springs/Garden%20of%20the%20Gods/

Crystal Reservoir is one of our main sources of water - always an issue in th e mountains. This picture was taken from the mountain.

Very nice, Dave --- as an afficionado of history, I am always impressed with the idea of walking where so much history has been made. Many years ago (early 80s), I was stationed in England and traveled all over. I have been through Norwich, and enjoyed the greenery and peace of the area.

The sense of timelessness and history is overwhelming.

[Norfolkdave]

Thankyou Spare, Norwich is fine but sadly nightime you cant go out the yob culture take over. The Broads are very nice and idylcc, yes you are pretty safe in the villages, and here in Walsingham time has forgot the village, very periodic as in the 18th century.

[Wet Beaver]

i can't find any pics of my town online......not much to see...just a lot of sand and sagebrush....

[Dmy]

Cool to see where you all live.
Found a site that gives you a good idea of my surrounding, I lived in the rural area, 20 miles from the base of this mountain range and about 75 miles east of Cody, Wy..........this site lets you pick out alot of variety of what its like where Im from.........hope you enjoy.

Have you ever lived in South or Central America? or anyone else.

It's two places that I have never been but would love to go and stay a while.

Cotties ---

I have business interests in Brazil and travel there about 4 times a year. It's an amazing country, if they would just shoot all the politicians (now that I think about it -- sounds like the US). As with most of the Third World, the corruption stifles the country and really hurts the people.

Most of my time is spent in two cities -- Recife and Palmas. Recife is on the eastern most tip of Brazil. In fact, it was used as staging for flights into Africa during World War !!. It is an amazing old city -- I remember one day I went out for lunch with the director of the National Bank. We had beer in front of a building that was built in 1637 --- that's only about 20 years after the Pilgrims landed in US. Recife has beautiful blue water, white beaches, and some of the most gorgeous bikinis you could ever imagine!

Palmas, on the other hand, is an inland city that didn't exist 20 years ago. It was a cow pasture. Brazil is split down the middle by the Toquantins River, and the government decided to give it the Nile treatment -- create a series of hydroelectric dams that would provide an energy backbone the length of the country. Palmas selected as the first site -- it is now a thriving city of about 275,000 people.

[Norfolkdave]

Any idea how old your town is Dave?

This is our church in our lane.......Set up on a hill, overlooking the village of Gt. Walsingham, this pretty little church is of 14th century origin. http://www.norfolkcoast.co.uk/images/GWalsinghChrchclose.jpg

Inside its tower are three bells made in Kings Lynn (http://www.norfolkcoast.co.uk/location_norfolk/VP_KingsLynn.htm) between 1330 and 1350, still used today.

And Norwich itself the City of East Anglia is
Norwich, the capital of Norfolk, was once second only to London in importance, growing out of several small Saxon settlements at the lowest fording point along the River Wensum.

Before the Norman Conquest of 1066, Norwich was one of the largest towns in England. The conquerors built a castle and a cathedral, and established a new market place which is still in use today.

In 1194 Norwich was granted the status of a city, while in 1404 it was given the privilege of appointing a mayor, two sheriffs and aldermen to run its affairs.

[Norfolkdave]

The ruins of the famous priory are now included in the extensive grounds of Walsingham Abbey, the property of Mr. Henry Lee Warner. Visitors have permission to see these ruins on Wednesdays and Fridays, by application at the lodge of the abbey.
Walsingham is a pretty village 5 miles from Wells-on-Sea. It possesses a noble church in the Perpendicular style, an ancient town pump, and two wishing wells, which were formerly believed to possess miraculous powers, for the legend is that they sprang from the ground at command of the Virgin. Walsingham was an important place for many centuries, for it contained the famous shrine of the Virgin, or, as it was called, “Our Lady of Walsingham.” This far-famed chapel of the Virgin was founded by Ricoldie, the mother of Geoffrey de Faverches. When Geoffrey set out on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, he granted to God and St. Mary, and to Edwy, his clerk, the chapel which his mother Ricoldie had built at Walsingham, with other possessions, requesting him to found a priory there. It became one of the richest in the world. From the very commencement there was an unceasing flow of pilgrims from all nations to it. Several kings and queens of England, and among them Henry VIII., paid their devotions there. Erasmus, who visited the priory in 1511, derided its enormous wealth. Parts of the road leading to this priory are known to this day as the “Walsingham Way” and the “Palmer’s Way.” It is said more pilgrims came to Walsingham than to the shrine of St. Thomas à Becket at Canterbury. The monks taught the people that the “Milky Way” pointed to the shrine. Hence the Norfolk people called it the “Walsingham Way." This shrine was destroyed at the dissolution of monasteries in 1539.

My school kids having their opening ceremony to their sports day... Lets just say the local community in this suburb suck. The kids start the ceremony about 2km from the school. That day myself and some of the bad school kids snuck off to play some soccer in a different part of the school. Another bunch of school[different school] kids turned up and pulled out a sword and attacked.......I'll leave the story there....good kids...they just take sports day serious here...

Hey Very nice, your in like a villiage yes!:wa:

[Norfolkdave]

Now thats a nice looking pub Dave...Are you sure its a bar and not someones fancy home....:sc

No it is a pub, its called " The Bull Inn" its in Walsingham just opposite the pump you saw in the picture, it has the real open log fires in the winter, the only reason I dont go in the pubs in the village is the cost factor, its over £2.50 per pint ( sterling) you only got to have 4 and thats over £10 sterling.

[pixiegirl]

Not so much a village, the village is 12miles away. More a rural community, I like it that way though. In the big city whilst working and get to chill out at home, ride my horse, go for walks...great for parties too, no complaints from neighbours about loud music!!! :55

You got a horse, my wife would be jealous, LOL complaints we dont get them either as down our road just 11 bungalows, the view out the front looks over fields and woods, all the trees in their greens, we are back from the road 50 ft and its only a lane, to get to my post office you go over a fford, our back garden is over 200 ft from the Wells to Fakenham road, its what people go to Yorkshire for and its on our front door so to speak.:wa:

[pixiegirl]

There is loads of salmon, pike and trout fishing, hunting (if you like that sort of thing) the highland games are fun, especially the Lonach Gathering at the end of August. The skiing can be great but the last couple of years the snow hasn't been that good.

However I like to come home to the remoteness, the quiet "I vant to be alone..." ;)

:lmao

[pixiegirl]

well i can't speak from personal experience but apparently it's very liberating, but itchy when sitting down ;)

I'm sure I could arrange a guided tour of the hills and glens if you wish...I can't be held responsible for the weather though.

[joshcamp69]

Where do we sign up for the guided tour? Can e take a slow walk through the hills. Lay a blanket and enjoy the view?

[pixiegirl]

I would offer a bulk booking but to really enjoy the scenery and the wildlife it needs to be small parties only. And yes, blankets, picnics and view enjoying will be the tour priority, and for those that can I can arrange an offroad hack.:lf

Is one a small enough party to make it worth your while? I would be happy to pack a picnic, lots of chocolate covered strawberries to nibble on, and a blanket to keep warm. even might bring a little tent if it rains on the offroad track.

[pixiegirl]

an offroad hack is a horse ride through the hills - sorry me being british!! Do you ride?

The state park isn't where I live, but it's close. There are 2 large lakes in the middle of the lower peninsula. My home is at one, and my offices are at the other. Deer, beaver, Blue Heron, Cormarants, Turkey, Walleye, Trout, Bass, Golf Courses...
Higgins Lake was declared the 6th most beautiful lake in the world by National Geographic a few years ago. Hunting, fishing, camping, snowmobiling, etc. Kind of a resort town.

You don't want a rowboat. My boat has a good motor to get us out in the ocean faster and away from everyone else. Plus, here in Florida, it is nice and warm with sub tropical breezes and beautiful aqua blue water.....
And if you wanted some privacy, I have a nice little cabin.

Well Cotties I live in the mountains of BC...pretty difficult not to... as we are very mountainous...but the most spectacular views of the Rockies are in Alberta the neighbouring Province...Yes I drive there frequently because it is awe inspiring. The main areas are around Banff and Lake Louise.I actually live near Kelowna in wine country.. but as I said mountains are all over....here they are smaller tho. Other spectacular mountains are in the coastal ranges of BC.
