I like to see shots from around the world that show where other 365ers live. What is a shot that sums up your town/ city and all that you love/ hate about it?
Here's mine
This is Vancouver, BC, Canada. I emmigrated here last year from the UK and it's been worth it every day!
Wow, Craigy, that's a beautiful scene! Wish my hometown was as breathtaking! Heather, that must be one tiny town! So quaint! I'll have to take pic of mine...
Great idea! I love seeing the world through 365 too - and I really like your Vancouver pictures as it's somewhere I visited very briefly years ago and would love to go back to. I'm going to cheat and post two pictures - sorry, but hope you won't mind; I live near to Cambridge so have a city shot, but also am in the countryside so have to include a picture of East Anglian landscape.
Cambridge: Like - beautiful, historical, fun, great for bikes
Dislike: Crowded
East Anglia: Like - Open, big skies, great for bikes
Dislike - no hills!
I live about a half hour outside of NYC, but this shot sums up all that I love and hate about the city at the same time... the craziness, the busyness, the crowds... but at the same time, the diversity, the opportunity and the vastness of it all.
@peter
I just fell in love with this place. Want to swap? It's really beautiful where I live! ;-)
(It is, and you will get a picture - but I still want to swap with Peter.)
I haven't posted any of these pictures here but these pictures on flickr are from our monthly photowalks in Shoreline, Washington (USA), just north bordering Seattle. In this partictular picture we are heading down to Richmond Beach which is on Puget Sound.
well i live in Quezon City Philippines and thats where the State University is located. this is a picture of the U.P. Oblation.
"The Oblation (Pahinungod) is a concrete statue by Filipino artist Guillermo E. Tolentino which serves as the iconic symbol of the University of the Philippines. It depicts a man facing upward with arms outstretched, symbolizing selfless offering of oneself to his country." - from Wikipedia
My tiny town of Brattleboro, VT. We still have covered bridges, this one is now being replaced with a new one but was used for traffic until 3 or so months ago.
This spot is about a ten minute bike ride from my house. I have worked right beside the river for the last five or six years and cycle along / around / over it every day. I absolutely adore London, particularly the River.
It looks quite grey and murky, but I assure this is the cleanest the river has been for centuries!
Wow! Such beauty! I will find one to add. BTW, don't forget to include a little description...I should brush up on my geography! lol. Great thread, Craigy.
Great thread Craigy, I love travel.
Beautiful photographs which make me want to visit all of these places.
On my world trip last year we visited San Francisco and I would have loved to head north to Canada if we had the time, I understand that the big redwoods up the coast ffrom SF are incredible to see, instead we drove down through Monterey and Big Sur to LA where we flew on to the Cook Islands, Perth and Tokyo.
Planning to visit the US again soon.

This is downtown Atlanta, Georgia, where I work and go to school.
and this is where I live, about 45 minutes' drive outside. That's not my house, but you get the idea. :)
