Ken Posted May 11, 2004 Report Posted May 11, 2004 I thought it would be fun to post photos of local landmarks from where we are all from. Here's my kick at it. This is the Ambassador Bridge, connecting Windsor, Ontario, Canada, to Detroit Michigan. (Canada is on the right. My home is 15 minutes from here.) Ken.
_Jayson_ Posted May 11, 2004 Report Posted May 11, 2004 Here's a picture of Georgia. Wait... Thats Georgia the country, I knew Atlanta couldn't look that nice!
_Jayson_ Posted May 11, 2004 Report Posted May 11, 2004 Now this is actually around where I live. :: This is a picture of Lake Lanier( dunno how they got it to look that good). I live about 15 minutes from the lake. This is along the Chattahoochee River
Tenacious_Peaches Posted May 11, 2004 Report Posted May 11, 2004 This is Lake Blackshear... This is a picture of our Watermelon Festival (I live in the Watermelon Capital of the World)...
Mike Posted May 11, 2004 Report Posted May 11, 2004 What I see many morning on my way to work (that last 23 years) I also have a picture of her in mi living room - she's awesome!! Where we were last weekend! 100 miles east of home. Where I work, 20 mile south of home. Where I like to go play - 150 miles east north east of home Where I spent my honeymoon - they call her the Niagra of the west Oh my other playground, nestled in the alpine hills a small Bavarian village that offers great beer, wonderful views, river rafting, fishing and Oktoberfest that brings German to me - 110 miles east of home
MuzikTyme Posted May 11, 2004 Report Posted May 11, 2004 Breathtaking photo and commentary originally posted by Mike - What I see many morning on my way to work (the last 23 years) What is your mode of transportation to work? A helicopter? Stunning photos, everyone. ::
Brian Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Oh my, I feel sorry for all those people on dial up waiting for those 2mb pictures to load! Ouch! Nice pics by the way. I will post one when I find a good one. ::
Brian Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 I remember when I had dial-up. Don't laugh, there are still die hard dial up 'old timers' out there. It doesnt make sense to pay more money for a faster connection if you dont spend that much time on the net. I am a recent high speed surfer-resisted at all costs-now I know I can NEVER ever go back to dial up. My brother has dial up and when I use his computer, it seriously makes my head hurt!!! ::
_Jayson_ Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 My favortie thing about broadband is being able to play Socom II vs. anybody in North America.
_Jayson_ Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Anyway, back to the subject. Heres a picture of some mountains in N. Georgia. Maybe 45 minutes from my house.
_Jayson_ Posted May 12, 2004 Report Posted May 12, 2004 Not too much compared to the mountains in Mike's photo.
Tamuril1024 Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 picture of my Oklahoma home would pretty lame, I think. I used to live in Illinois which is still my home cause i go there every summer to see my dad. Ill find some
MuzikTyme Posted May 13, 2004 Report Posted May 13, 2004 One of the seven natural wonders of the world, any photo will not do justice to Natural Bridge. The area around this site has provided me with some of the best camping and conversations with villagers (Monacans). In this photo the Blue Ridge mountains cannot be seen nor the peaceful, nature loving Monocans. It was they that taught me the age old art of canoe construction. And yes, the Blue Ridge foot hills compared to Mike's skyscrapers.
Brian Posted June 6, 2004 Report Posted June 6, 2004 Well, this picture really bites, but it totally depicts one FABULOUS YEAR in my life. You see I have always been one to avoid city crowds, traffic, and congestion. So what did I do once I moved up to God's Country? I moved into a little high rise tower in the middle of DOWNTOWN Portland! I wanted to experience the URBAN life, and, while Portland is no Vienna, Frankfurt, or London, I must say, I totally loved the experience!
DiggsUK Posted June 6, 2004 Report Posted June 6, 2004 You are a lucky bunch! I'd show you a photo of Wakefield, but think I would break down crying. Regards

TheCyberdemon Posted June 6, 2004 Report Posted June 6, 2004 Sweet Home Alabama. Because there's nothing else to do in the south.
Foxy Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 Thes places are all within 25 miles of me St Michaels Mount Boscastle Carn Brea Kynance Cove, The Lizard
MarcM Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 This is the 405 freeway on the west side of LA. This is the fewest number of cars I have ever seen on it. I avoid this freeway at all costs....
Addictedtoclassic Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 I still have dial-up at home. But that's because I'm too cheap to pay for broadband. So I'll check these out at work! Minneapolis... Minneapolis again... Walker Art Center... Inside the Mall Of America... And we even have our own castle! It's a Swedish museum though...
Foxy Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 Eden Project Biomes Inside the Tropical Biomes Below is the local Trevithick Day, celebrating Richard Trevithick who invented the steam engine and was born in Camborne, the small town I live in. It's billed as the largest urban steam event in the world as hundred of steam engines travel to the town to celebrate!! This is the Minack Theatre. Rowena Cade singlehandedly carved this entire theatre and all the seats (which are in another photo just below) in a curve in the cliffs overlooking the ocean Click the link just to see how amazing this theatre really is MINACK THEATRE
