but thats nothing like a city

It's valid enough for this thread :)

Everyone posted beautiful and admiring pictures(except gota). I wanted to make different approach and tried to find a depressing picture.


Well, it's not much but you get the feeling. In this time of year in Finland, whether its raining or snowing or something between that, it's almost dark and grey whole day.

My city:



My street:


My house:


The best pub in the world:


The worst pub in the world, where i work:

It's fairly popular to traverse along the ridgeline (which is where we were doing)

Does local scenery influence your maps?

Last one is my neighborhood.

Here's the river not far from where I used to live in Baton Rouge.



Ralphie, you have some stumpy trees up there in the mountains.

This is not far from where I used to live in the city of Hammond.

You live in las vegas?

It about a 40km (25mi) drive southeast from downtown Auckland, NZ.

Hamilton (NZ) FTW

Great Barrier Island (NZ)

^ my city



^ the river where we used to hang out and drink 40s when i was young, around this time of year. pro tip : there are a lot of fire ants, dont try having sex on the ground.

^ a good example of what my suburb is like; houses from two booms in the 1930s and 1970s, and cookie-cutter apartment buildings (looks like they'd fit right into artturis picture. gotta clicky it, no hotlinx!)

this thread was a really cool idea, thanks for starting it and thanks to everyone for sharing!

basic your city is really beautiful. momfreeek, not sure exactly where that is, but it reminds me of a trip to the south of the UK i took when i was very young.

oh and we have a hamilton here too, but its a shithole. the clouds in the pic is smog and smoke from the steel mills.

Thanks :). It was something i haven't seen in any forum till now and meanwhile we have a real cool collection of all different kinds of photos.

yup, its brighton, south coast uk. The west-pier has been a wreck since the 70s. Its a listed building so it can't be pulled down and no-one really cares enough to rebuild it cause there's a bigger pleasure pier just up the road anyway (the victorians had some wierd fascination with piers and built them everywhere).

Oddly enough brighton has plans to build a big rising tower that looks a bit like that tower in your pic kaiser (where is that?)

ARTISTS IMPRESSION, NOT A REAL PHOTO

you can see the west pier in the left of that pic.. if it does get built, the pier would likely be rebuilt afterwards.

huhu thats crazy, i just had lunch with my dad, and i've been there! it is confirmed! i remember going to that other pier (the intact one) and playing penny falls. apparently theres a pic of tiny lil me standing next to that pier.... what a small world.

we stopped there for a little while on the way to visit my granny, she lives on the isle of wight... most of my relatives live in london; my parents moved to canada in the 1960s. i'll be back soon i think.

that's a pic of the CN tower... the proud phallus of toronto canada! for a long time it was the tallest free-standing structure in the world but i have a feeling someone in dubai has since taken the title from us.



its a pretty cool building; started off as a radio communications tower when it was first built; but now you can go and eat dinner in that ball-thinger in the middle, go on a VR ride to simulate a flight into space, and play laser tag. they also often have charity stair climbs to the top, which i've sponsored but never taken part in.



^ it's also a superweapon. here's a pic of it taking out new york city.



^ and of course, were you to visit me IRL, you'd have to go and see niagara falls. few hours away on the canada-USA border, it's pretty awesome... they have casinos, strip clubs, a few suicides every year, and a lot of drunken americans wandering about. the border of the countries is right in the middle of the river, and i have to say, our side of the falls is much sexier than theirs.



^ i try to make it out of the city at least once a year; canada is very sparsely populated; if you leave toronto and drive north, in about an hour and a half you end up in really beautiful wilderness country. from what i've seen of europe, its a lot tighter packed... maybe in places like the ukraine and russia you could find something similar, but its a crazy feeling knowing that you could be lost in the woods and die so close to civilization.

it snowed last night and I was playing with my camera in low-light...
