Show me your local favourite place to take a picture.

November 7th, 2013
This image was taken within 5 minutes of where I live and is without a doubt one of my favourite local places to take a picture.

This led me to thinking and asking you all - WHERE is yours?

That special place within walking distance where you know you are going to get a decent shot all year round.

@quietpurplehaze Hazel, these shots are great - love how an image can change substantially with each passing season!

@darrenboyj
and sometimes the sky is blue! Darren thanks for this question as you've made me realise
1. Although I am not religious, I do find church architecture inspirational for photographs.
2. What a good little p&s camera my Canon A1300 powershot is as nearly all these shots I've posted here were taken with it.

@quietpurplehaze That stonework against the blue sky is very striking.

I really like this one and did the firstt ime I saw it! (I think I'm doing something wrong here - this is meant to refer to your shot (in colour) with reflections in the water.)

The Peak District, where I grew up, and especially here - my childhood home

The beach very near us, I just love it:

This spot here looking over Elliott Bay:







And just to the right of that view is this:

I take the time to ride my bicycle here almost every day...as you can see.

Before we moved, I'd have to say that it would be the St. Louis Zoo. Best zoo I have ever been to and it's free.




November 7th, 2013
Since we moved to NH, I'd say it would have to be the state of Maine, whose border is just a half hour from our house.

The woods right behind my cabin.You never know what you will see or find.Nature is ever changing.
November 7th, 2013
I take weekly walks in the natural park/lake 15 minutes from my house. It's right in the middle of the city and yet with the wildlife, natural hiking trails, and glorious colors, you feel like you're in the middle of the deepest woods.

The reservoir on a nature reservation nearby:

I tag the images I have taken there if you would like to see. Thank you for the reminder that I have not taken time to go there recently. I must make time soon.

I love heading down to the Harborne Walkway - one of the entrances is only about 2 minutes from where I live... it runs through the city, although when you're there, walking along the path, it feels like you're somewhere else. :)

















OK, that's enough... there are loads more.

November 7th, 2013
Darren, your place is amazing, just love it; I have a favourite barn that I shoot, here are a couple of shots from it

@quietpurplehaze Hazel, just love the new church pic, is that today's post? I have been out all day so I am popping over to take a peek:0)

My own backyard is my favourite place..... Here are a few reasons why....

please tell me how to reply with a photo...?

I am constantly drawn to this scene which is 10 minutes around the corner from where I live. Have just realised it has been a while since I photographed it, so thanks for the reminder ;-)

@tinaknooihuizenphotography
On the right hand side of each of your pages (under "View" , "Comments", "Album" etc) there is a title: "Share" right at the bottom of the list, under this there is a box with a html code (it says "copy and paste code" beside it). Copy the whole code (it is long and you can't see all of it in the box unless you scroll along) and paste it into the comment box here. This will come up as a lot of text or rather code when you paste it in. But once you press post reply the code converts to the photo. Hope this helps.

@happysnap thank you very much Linda! It has been perplexing me for some time. Appreciate you taking the time to explain.

@exposure4u I think you're my new favorite photographer here. You're pictures are beautiful.

That would be the crab tree right outside my kitchen window. I can count on it for birds, flowers (in the spring), bees, crab apples...a fair percentage of my photos are in or of this tree.

I thought I posted in this thread last week but cannot find it here now so I'm posting another pic. This is Wood Lane which is literally over the road from where I live. I love walking along there and it's where I get a lot of my bird pics

Thanks to you all for the amazing images included in this thread, there are some truly mesmerizing places out there to be discovered as has been proved here. For me, it's always great to know there's that one special place where you know you're not going to be let down - however many times you visit it! Thanks for taking an interest :)
