Got this idea after talking about where I lived and posting some pics...

Would love to see everyone's favourite photo (or photos) of where they live.

If you don't want to give away your location just post a picture of your favourite place in general.

This is mine:
The Cataract Gorge, located about 10 minutes from my house.
It's pretty amazing swimming in the fresh water, when you go around the corner under the bridge you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere.
It's the deepest gorge in the southern hemisphere, the water is deeper than the hills around it.

And... This is Wineglass Bay... Takes about 2 hours drive to get there from my place. It comes close to Unkys Mauritius beaches but a lot colder! Haha

They don't have to be personal photos, just Google it!
Post away... please :D

Ok, I'm still looking for more pictures... here's a link to a world's image gallery I got incidentally...

That second picture of the colored sands is incredible :eek:

Yup, incredible but true. I heard in the past the colours were more distinctive, nut over the years, they fade. There are lots more, too many to post. A single search will bring hundreds of nice pictures! I just posted the places in a post in the castle.

Definitely Deception Pass bridge at Oak Harbor Washington!

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_lMhG-gXv_pM/SfhSCMEmD-I/AAAAAAAAALE/SUce9EFizhU/s320/deception_pass_bridge.jpg


We used to play under the bridge even though it was illigal to do so :P

Wow, that's really beautiful Jennie.

We used to do the same at the Gorge, there were no rules about not going under the bridge but I have seen a LOT of people jumping off the rocks into the water and hurting themselves.
A friend of mine had her nose pierced and she jumped in and hit it on a rock... she hit it so hard the piercing went through her lip!

The one with the flowers is right outside my office window. It's fuzzy because I took my camera (that was inside with the AC) out to take a shot of this sunrise... the humidity fogged up my lens and it was too hot to wait for it to "un-fog!!"

:eek: It's kind of difficult to imagine without... ugh!

EDIT: that was meant for Shazzy's post.

You'll always be my fav photographer HC! ;)

Oooo HC, can I come live with you??

Pictures from my balcony

Well, not anymore... my lease was over, and I had to move :(

Lol... sure, come on down! :)

This is my most favorite place ever. A few hours North of where I live. My grandparents cabins on a lake. The water is so clear you can see the bottom up to 15 feet deep.

I really like the 'foggy' photo HC there's just something about it that is appealing, your photos are always beautiful though, I really like the beach ones as well.

You LIVED there Sneezy! Wow!

Wow Sneezy! What a beautiful view!

Zoe, that place seems great! :)

Very nice Marie, the water is so clear!

Thanks guys! I can't even begin to describe how tranquil it is there. If I could I would live there.

Just took this out my office window. :)

Awww beautiful HC!

Makes you wish you weren't at work huh? :D

:) It's not bad. I love my job - and when you have a view like that, you can't complain! :)

Wow... lovely places and I do mean all of them. Hard to choose when you have that many choices. :)

HC I think I loved your fogged up camera photo... looks like a good effect for the scene outside your office.

Would love to take a walk around here...

Looks beautiful firmbeliever!
You could definitely spend hours walking around there, daydreaming away :)

What HC? You have such a view at your work place! I think I'll faint... Oh Gosh! How nice! :)

Hey Firmy! A beautiful picture! Seems to be autumn! :)

I live about 10km's north of Sydney Harbour , one of the most beautiful harbours in the world.

Ah! That truly is, M! :)

Wow! Those are all so beautiful:)

I'm looking out my office window to a parking lot and some barbed wire.:(

This is... the view from my future dorm room... and this beach is a 2 min walk from my classes:

Here are my boring tired eyes view of my Burgh!

The closest thing to an island is the first picture. It is about two miles away and they play Regae on Sunday nights.

The other is part of a mural in the Rocks that my daughter helped paint. She is the one in the red sweat shirt.

I'd do more pics but all the ones I can find of PNC park and other places are ones people posted on flickr which doesn't download into other sites.

I NEED NEW SCENERY IN MY LIFE !!!!

this is...the view from my future dorm room...and this beach is a 2 min walk from my classes:
Where is that place?

Grenada... 90 miles off the coast of Venezuela.

Med school? What?

Is that why you won't be around until 2018?

Yes'm.

I get my MD 2014... internship/residency until 2018.

... yep. No sleep until 2018.

WOW! Have fun and good luck.:) Parts of Grenada indeed are beautiful, but it's been years for me (35 years):eek:

Very beautiful Unky.

Amazing... all these pictures are really great!

Stringer

This big beautiful world and I am stuck in the Burgh. EEEEERRRRRR!!

Beautiful pictures guys :)

N0Help4u, that's not boring at all!
Sneezy - Have fun concentrating with that view :eek:
M - Of coarse it's the most beautiful habor, it's in Australia silly :p

Sneezy, you seem to be in the most beautiful places to live when it comes to temporary places! :p

I agree with Shazzy, NH, not that boring! :)

That photo I put up was not from anywhere near where I live,but a place like that is a hope... someday. :)

How are you Firm? :)

This is a photo of the back beach at Blairgowrie (south east Australia, Mornington Peninsula, Victoria) taken at the weekend with my mobile phone. Very wild and woolly, and the rock pools are to die for when the tide is out. In summer you could just lose yourself exploring and swimming in them!

Hahahaha

You makin' fun of me JD ;)

You makin' fun of me JD ;)

:eek:NoNo Not me! I thought that was very entertaining, I too thought it looked very realistic:D

I thought that was a real man and his two dogs :eek: They do great things with sand nowadays! :D

I will have to find the pictures from our last beach trip...

We made a sand sculpture of a naked lady, was pretty darn good too!
Of coarse the boys then made me lay down next to it in the same pose... I was clothed of coarse :D

Was this you at Byron Bay Shazza?

They removed the previous sand sculptures? :confused:

They removed the previous sand sculptures? :confused:
That is strange, I wonder why?

Was this you at Byron Bay Shazza?

Hahaha, no ours wasn't that good!

She was on her back as well, the boys had to make the boobies :rolleyes:

I'm afraid to post pictures of where I'm currently residing.

.. I battle cockroaches day and night. It's awful.

ALTHOUGH, I have a lake... but yeah, the buildings kind of suck.

At least you have a steady supply of exotic food Sneezy :D

I'm afraid my lighter + air freshener combo has burnt them to a crisp.

I don't mind letting people in on knowing my location so I'm going to post a whole album of pictures from my favorite location. Its not more then half hour drive to an hours drive from me.. a little place called Cape Split. You can look off the tip of it across the bay to the other side... (we're pretty much an island with a little attached to land where I live {nova scotia}) it takes over four hours to hike out and back!

RANDOM PHOTO TIME!

Here are some random pictures...

First one was taken from my back porch a month or so back... pretty, but scary!

Second one is one of my favourite things to do... go to dog shows... And yep, that's my other half and my little brother, sadly that is the ONLY photo I have of Vaughn (!! )

Third one is another dog show pic, that's dad with Kade when he was a puppy...

Lastly... the awesome tent!! Some friends went halves with us at Christmas, we went to a beach down the coast... it was horrible! So windy that the sand was whipping up the dunes, it STUNG so bad!

Aww, nice pictures binx and Shazzy!

Btw, is vaughn OK?

Wow binx, looks beautiful!

They are mushrooms yes shaz LOL.. they were the size of a large coffee mug each one of them. I was hoping to find more mushrooms but those and brown ones almost like them but much much smaller were the only ones I could find.
Yes the link worked to the picture.. that was part of the trail we took. It was quite the intresting walk.. its rated a Moderately Difficult trail.. *hmm I think I spelt that wrong )

Nice pics Binx and Shaz!:)
Vaughn looks like he is asleep:rolleyes:

Is he over the flu yet?

Thank you JD.. I think shaz's pictures are nice too.

Thanks guys :D

Vaughn is sort of getting better, The Swiney-ness has gone, he is apparently not contagious anymore but he has developed a chest infection which he is on antibiotics for :(

Ohh shaz.. :( did he have swine flu? I hope the poor guy feels much better soon. Chest infections are no fun at all
