This is a chance to show off all the nice things (in pictures) about where you live and what you like about living there.

Post some pictures of your Country and/or City.

If you want to talk about why you like where you live thats also allowed.

I'll start with some pictures of Ft. Lauderdale, South Florida.

And of course...why we all love the beach.

And finally..why Floridians living at least one full year in Florida transform into total badasses who boast about how they defy natural selection.

Well...now how about where you live?

OMG...I did not mean to strech the thread...can a mod help me out here...what do I do?

Princeton, NJ:

Nice place to live, but it gets somewhat infuriating to be constantly surrounded by liberals, hippies, and liberal hippies.

Kinda funny what you can find with google images.

Link to big pictures instead of embedding them. Use URL tags instead of IMG.

Of course, Northern Ireland really comes into its own when you look at the North Antrim Coast (including the Glens of Antrim and Giants Causeway) and the Mourne Mountains. I'll maybe post a few pictures of those in a while.

Errinundera']I prefer my dog picture. Then again, your freeway picture is more typical.

Where abouts are you? I don't recognise the dog, so i'm guessing it's not the eastern suburbs. I'm in Narre Warren.

I live in a 12 sq mi town of 35,000 on the north shore of Long Island, NY. It's nothing special.

Thanks to both of you.

Got it.;)

Where abouts are you? I don't recognise the dog, so i'm guessing it's not the eastern suburbs. I'm in Narre Warren.

I live in Yarra Glen and work in Fairfield (yeah, a one hour commute). The dog is next to the Fairfield railway station. I know the area in your pic - one of my sisters lives in Narre Warren North.

Yes, that's a Foster's sign, but what's weird is they don't actually sell Fosters in there.

I guess that puts you in a Fassbinder?

Errinundera']What are you doing up so late?

I might poke the question back at you :p

Well, truth is, i'm supposed to be doing an assignment, but I can't be bothered. So I figured i'd kill time for an hour or so on here.


I live in Yarra Glen and work in Fairfield (yeah, a one hour commute). The dog is next to the Fairfield railway station. I know the area in your pic - one of my sisters lives in Narre Warren North.

Ah, yeah, I vaguely know where you mean. And i'm in Narre North (pretty much) as well. Small world, eh? :p

wow, looks lovely! (especially the beach!)


i live in Southampton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southampton), and i like it here :)

in the very south of britain, pretty much in the centre (east-west) of the country, so good links to other places (motorways north to london, and east and west go through here), and we get good weather. we're britain's second busyest industrial port, and still a place for cruise ships to berth at (recently had the world's largest ever passenger liner in town :))
its part of the Soton-Pompey conurbation (two cities very close to each other on the coast), which collectively have a population in excess of 1.5 million. not many beaches in either city though... bah!

we have one of europe's largest shopping malls:

http://www.garfnet.org.uk/pictures/20030924/big/dscf1265.jpg

its an old town, going back to roman times. this is the Bargate in the city centre, one of the three old entrances into the city when it still had walls (mostly destroyed in WW2):

Thanks. Ft. Lauderdale and is an amazing place to visit and live. We are one of the biggest tourist destinations and, on the rare occasion that you dont like Ft. Lauderdale you can go south for about 25 minutes to get to another one of the biggest tourist destinations, Miami.

Ahhh, I love South Florida.

A very small portion of Houston's industry, which is responsible for the haze.

ooh thats really pretty! :)

ooh thats really pretty! :)

It actually is. It's a shame that it smells so horrible (not to mention what it does to the air quality).

Think rotten eggs, a dead horse, and super glue.

Thx :)
What's the population of Ft Lauderdale?

Around 170,823....I just found out that they call Ft. Lauderdale the Venice of America...haha.

I would post photos of where I live, but I can't find any on the Internet of the city I live in. Which is understandable because it only has about 25k people in it, and we're about an hour away from anything larger.

However, here's a couple from around the state.

Detroit

How is Detriot, I've never been?

How is Detriot, I've never been?

Not as bad as everyone says. Detroit still has a very long way to go, but things are better there than they were 10-20 years ago. I don't get down to Detroit much myself, so I don't see much of it.

I live in the southern part of the netherlands (in a province called limburg), in a shitty little town called Nuth (near the borders of germany and belgium)

This is the shape of the netherlands:

This is our town church, exciting ey?

http://www.jovankan.nl/Foto's%20uit%20de%20omgevingvan%20Nuth/kerk-Nuth.gif

This is the cutting edge of modern art inside our little town, situated in the central marketplace

http://www.nuth.nl/welzijn/images/kwmarkt.jpg

And I just found out one of the townspeople here has discovered the wonders of internet as well: his own webcam which shows an empty street 24hours a day!

If you call a three hour drive close... From where I live you have to go at least for tho and a half , three hours to get to amsterdam, if you´re lucky

It´s not like everyone in holland is a stonethrow away from the capital, though a lot of people seem to think so. Of course, if one were speaking in terms of Australian distances between cities, then yes we are all living in amsterdam´s suburbs...

What?:p

Isnt that collingwood station or brunswick station ?

Fairfield station. Further up the same line from Collingwood.

Thats either a guy, or the flattest girl I've ever seen. Ever.

what, never seen boobies go flat when a girl lays on her back?

what about the lack of bulge in the pants area? :P

I have traveled a lot and lived in a few different countries, but I always seem to come home to my little town in Amherst New Hampshire
