Where do you live ? (pics thread)

[ant75]

I'm tired of internet geeks showing their ugly faces on the internet. Instead, let's show eachother our hometowns. Just post any outdoor pics (preferably aesthetically interesting) of your house, street, neighborhood. Of course, it has to reflect your living environment, so if you live in NY don't post a plain tourist photograph of the empire state building... (Sorry if a thread of this kind already exists btw but i don't remember seeing anything like this on Inf OT).
Unfortunately i don't have a digital camera like many of you, so my contribution to this thread will be slim. I only got this picture i've taken a while ago from my living room window, and this other small picture of my street i found on the internet.
City : Paris, France

I'd have to take new pictures first, but for now here are two shots looking down from my window from yesterday. First snow. Oh yeah... I live in Peitz, a very small town about 100km southeast of Berlin, Germany.

Moved here a couple of months ago. This is what it looked like soon after moving in, this the view from my window over the valley towards Stafford. This was yesterday morning.

And, of course, the fish (that one's changed colour since we cleaned up the pond, it's now all orange with a white tail) and the locals .

Behold, the mind-bogglingly fabulous view from my apartment window in Bergen on the west coast of Norway!

I don't have many pics of where I live or where I work (and it's not very interesting anyway ). Instead I'll post a few pics of the city and the places I've often been

I live in Mouans-Sartoux in the Alpes Maritimes. Foreigners will probably know the place as "French Riviera". It's a mediterranean climate (like in San Fransisco I guess). It's hot an sunny in the summer yet not arid. Most of the tree here are evergreen. Lots of olive trees, lush pine forests and palm trees on the shores.
There's a very thin band along the sea where 90% of the population lives and works with Cannes, Antibes, Nice and Monaco. The rest is mid and high mountain (Maritime Alps) up to 3000 meters.

Here are a few pics (the first 2 are mines and were taken in winter, sorry about the crappy lighting and colors ), the other pics are from Google):
1. About 50 meters from my house. The city straight ahead is Grasse. The mountains on the right form the "Plateau de Caussol".
2. La vallée de la Siagne. Walking down from work. I live somewhere on the lower left from the center of this pic. You can see the Mediterranean sea in the background. The pointy hills in the center are part of the Esterel range.
3. A closer view of the Esterel shores.
4. A nice pic showing how close (and high) the Alps are from the shores.
5. Saint Martin Vesubie in the Mercantour national park.

Here is one I took last year of the view out of the back of my house, I'd take some new ones but at the moment it's very foggy. I'll post some more when the fog clears.

This is the state where I live. Went fishing at a place called Castle Lake, on the slopes of Mt. St. Helens. It's only accessible by foot. You start out at 4800ft and hike down to the lake, which is at around 2000ft. Since it's so innaccessible the trout are huge.

The hike down is easy... the hike up is another story!

The first shot is about 15 minutes into the hike

The second was taken about an hour in. I'm not a hunter, but that's a lot of elk.

The third is my backyard, not quite the strenuous hike or as interesting. but it is topical.

Freon you live in a very beautiful region! Kind of contradictory, too.
On one side you have loads of people in summerclothing, bathingsuites, bikini's,... [stop drooling] and on the other side you have the high alps where people are freezing their butts off in the snow.
Very nice sea there too.

I'd show some pics of my neighbourhood, but it really looks best in mid-winter, and since my dad's gonna get a canon powershot G6 this newyear, I think I'll wait a few little months and revive the thread...

edit: ah, what the heck, I just googled.

I reckognize where this pic was taken. Its at the border of a big woad, very pleasant for mountainbiking.

Hehehe, retarded cows.

Pic from my dads site, apparently.
If you follow this little river further on, you pass my house.

I live in a aluminum-shingled dwelling with cobblestone floors, beside a serene translucent lake.

 

[O_DoGG]

My place, suburbs of Paris. Little house, quiet and dull village.
1. My road
2. View of my garden from my terrace
3. Same, with snow
4. Garden from my window

DAmmit, you beat me to it.

DAmmit, you beat me to it.

Shit, apparently that was a women's stall.

 

[w00p]

I knew you prefered men sitting over your head with their genitalia doing its work in all their glory...

 

[Taque]

German pr0n anyone? I'll post some pics when I have the time to find some piccies of where I live ...

The beginning of your sentence scared me.

[ant75]

Oh i totally forgot about this thread... i bought a digital camera since then.
Here are 2 new "artistic" pictures of my neighborhood. The first one is the church whose tower you see on my first post, the second is a subway station 200m from my place.

ps: still waiting for fat marrow to post pics of his neighborhood in london, i know he has plenty of them

 

[TheShiningWizard]

My room when clean, my room when... less clean, and my room when fun.

 

[Cleeus[JgKdo]]

my room when fun.

Well, my digital camera is recharging now, but here's a new pictures of my hometown from the internet:

Near the industrial area, about 5 blocks from where I live:

The enormous phallic veterans memorial, 2 blocks from where I live:

The stadium, which is right next to the highschool (we've got some genius ****ing cityplanners here):

West main street, about 3 blocks from where I live.

Avery's beverages from right down the street:

Holy Cross Church, across the street from where I went to school when I was small:

Most of my pictures are really the good side of New Britain. My favorite description of the place is "the armpit of America" since the town is really in ruins for the most part. What do you expect when over 50% of the total number of residents in the town are on some kind of governmental financial aid.
