Post pictures which you feel cast a very flattering light on your humble nation. Try and avoid mentioning how other people's pictures are "teh suxors"... please?

:( Australian pics have already been done then. I'll just post some pictures of my city.

I'm not going to be so silly as to quote Falhaar2's post, but whoever took those pictures has quite the artistic flair.

My beach. I live about 200 metres from here.


Subiaco, right? Or somewhere in the area? I remember that building. (at least, I think I do)

EDIT - ahh, Cottesloe beach.

It's been 10 years since I was in Perth...be nice to go back sometime. Best weather in Australia...

I've got a few pics to add that I shot myself. Except the last one, my dad did that one.

As for Germany...well, it's got nice places, certainly. I'll concentrate on the North.

Eh.. no major landmarks anywhere near where I live, except the prison, which looks like:

http://www.releasedministries.org/news/testimony_images/chino.JPG

and maybe the dam, which looks like:

http://www.usacivil.skanska.com/files/Yeager%20Skanska/Prado%20Dam%201.jpg

But there's some nice spots here, and some tall buildings about 40 miles away, so that's neat.

Well, these are somewhat unrelated, but I recall Leonstein lamenting the absence of snow around Christmas here in an earlier thread -

So, this isn't quite the same, but it's the closest i've ever come to seeing any. My yard on Christmas morning.

Pub.

Pizza. And pub.

I have a friend who collects (steals) their beer glasses. *nod*

My uni. Well, my old one anyway now that i've finished. Deliciously Stalinist architecture.

It's a train station.

Holland is boring:(

No way. From all the pictures i've seen of it, I reckon it looks pretty cool.

Then I just can't find the good pictures:p

Add a DSL-warning to the title...

Holland is boring:(No way man! In fact, I'm going to live there in the second half of this year! :)

Then I just can't find the good pictures:p

I think Pure Metal has a heap from when he visited there. He posted them once and it instantly looked to me like a great place to live.

No way man! In fact, I'm going to live there in the second half of this year! :)
W00T! Where in Holland?:p

I know this is a painting,but this is pretty much exactly what the bottom end of my village's high street looks like.
High Street (http://www.peterwagonfinearts.co.uk/images/large/bovindon.jpg)

Also,we have an old USAF airfield.
Bovingdon Airfield (http://www.damir.co.uk/images/aviation/airfields/bovingdon.jpg)

A lot of stuff was filmed there-there's a film called "626 Squadron" (or something like that),also there's a BBC intro with people jumping up and down at a festival-that was filmed there too.Also,the British program Top Gear and Brainiac have done filming there too,and it's about 100 metres from my house.But it's used for a Saturday market as well.(I used to work there).

Also,I live about 4 miles from the site of the Buncefield blast.

Just some of our monuments (I won't event mention the 850 km of shoreline and Algarve's 150km of beach) but you can see all about it here: Visit Portugal (http://www.visitportugal.com/pturismo/Templates/Presentation/HomePage/defaultHomePage_nocookies.aspx?Lang=en-US)

No! That's where my family and I went on Sunday walks. I grew up in a house!

Lol!

Just some of our monuments (I won't event mention the 850 km of shoreline and Algarve's 150km of beach) but you can see all about it here: Not gonna tell you how much shoreline WE have... :p

Also, that last statue is incredibly cool.

@ HC Eredivisie: I'm gonna stay with some relatives in Tilburg in the beginning. Then I'll probably either go to Haarlem or Utrecht. It depends on where I find work.

Not gonna tell you how much shoreline WE have... :p

I would... but I can't find the answer.

Haarlem is very close to where I live:p

Damn, this one is very cool.

Here are two photos I have taken.
This is Townsville Beach in Qld (Australia), near where I go to uni.

We also have Bighorn Sheep

http://www.delta.dfg.ca.gov/gallery/bighorn.jpg

It really IS stunning there. Impossible to get the grandeur into a photo that fits on Jolt. Or in a photo period. Like the Alps but with nothing but wilderness for 500 miles in any direction.

I am English, but I am proud to adopt Wales as my home.

Where I live is a beautiful little town called Aberystwyth. The sea is to the west of the town and thus confers upon the town some of the most amazing sunsets I have ever seen.

http://myspace-785.vo.llnwd.net/01279/58/73/1279473785_l.jpg

I live on the seafront and my view of the northern Constitution Hill as well as part of the sea is a luxury I treasure.

http://myspace-281.vo.llnwd.net/01267/18/23/1267253281_l.jpg

And the view from the university campus at the top of the eastern Penglais hill is quite spectacular.

http://myspace-782.vo.llnwd.net/01267/28/79/1267149782_l.jpg

The seafront on a nice day is also quite lovely.

http://myspace-358.vo.llnwd.net/01267/85/31/1267151358_l.jpg

I confess that my pictures are not the best ones, but they are the only ones that I have taken in the place.

If this is a bragging thread, it just wouldn't be right if I didn't include a picture of the real Tropical Montana. After all, we can't really take a whole lot of credit for the beauty of our birthplace, but Tropical Montana is something I made beautiful myself.

hahaha, yeah. but funny as hell.

Thank you.

San Francisco probably looked its coolest this morning when I drove my friend to the train station. There was a low layer of fog that came up to the bottom of the bay bridge but stopped short of Treasure Island, where it was sunny. The skyline was just visible above the fog, including the top of the Golden Gate. Alcatraz was completely obscured, though.

My friend took pictures but I don't have them, so you'll all just have to take my word for it. There really isn't any need to post a picture of the San Francisco skyline, I'm sure you've all seen it...

How did you manage to make Bangor look attractive? Acadia or Baxter State Park, yes, but Bangor? I'd post some pictures from here in Orono, but the idea of the thread is to show how beautiful your town is, and I figured pics of Ths Student Union would kind of throw that idea out.

I'm not! That's called the Gifhorner Schweiz and it's right around the corner from where I grew up! So shush! Und Frohes Neues, ne?
Are, too!
Taking a wild, daring guess I presume that's around Gifhorn, then, which is close enough to where I grew up, so shush! (I'll out myself as more of a Lüneburger Heide kid. There.)

Und das Frohe Neue kriegste auch gleich zurück. Hoffe, der Kater Danach war net allzu besorgniserregend.. ;P

I'd say it's Crater Lake, Oregon.

That is so totally cool. The only big stone structure close to that in my home town is a prison 'some' country singer sang about so that every time I tell people where I grew up they ask me what I was in for...

I'd say it's Crater Lake, Oregon.

ah yes, you're right, thank you :). it's 'the phantom ship of crater lake' apparently. found some more pics of it now, yay :)
