Belgium. Must be a beautiful place. Didnt know you from there. Thanks for sharing mate.
Chris

I´ve posted this shot in the gallery but unfortunatly it´s the only photo i have on my harddrive that shows where i live....which is 15 kilometers outside this smaller town called Örnsköldsvik on the swedish north-east coast.  This was taken a month ago before we had winter come knocking at our doors....so now this landscape is covered in snow instead of mist...sniff....sniff. :sad:

The arrow is pointing to our house...if you open up the bigger image you´ll probably be able to see it even....house that is...arrow´s abundantly visible even in smaller...bla bla...

Wow Andreas that looks so beautiful matie. How many months of the year do you get snow?
We are lucky we are getting some good rain today. Not looking to good for Australia in the future years to come. Drought in majority on NSW. And the temperatures are slowly increasing every summer. Water restrictions apply alot of the times. Sad to see what will become of some Countries. We all tend to take so much for granted.
Thanks for sharing mate.
Chris

Thank you Chris. I suppose it is kinda beautiful where i live. I can sure think of a few places that aren´t as pretty. The downside however is our long winters. We´ll have snow from late october till april...early may. So winter is almost 7 months long for us...sniff. :sad: So you do get quite sick of shoveling snow and picking Eija´s paws free of ice.

That is her personal leaf blower, BYW.

That is gorgeous Tom. Atlantic City, in USA. So it snows there and for how many months?Love the dock photo. So beautiful. Thanks for sharing mate
Chris

Chris, actually it is not Atlantic City.  The city I live in is a small town a few miles from the one where the wall of plaques(pic) is located. That city where I grew up was built in the early 40's to help develop the atomic bomb ("atomic" city).  The city was a secret overall and even the workers for the most part did not know what they were working to do..just doing a job as directed.  It is in Tennessee, a lovely state in the USA.  

 Fine thread!  Ahh...Sweden and Belgium look so nice...I suppose to live anywhere will sometimes make "someplace else" seem appealing.                   Tom.

Thanks Tom. Nice to know where different members live. See their homes and country. I have travelled a little but hope in the future to go to Europe. Been to the states twice now. Gorgeous country and people are so friendly.
Chris

We plan a trip to Great Britain next year...first time and excited to do that. My wife will have to take a "Beatles Tour" as part of the visit. Hope to get to Ireland and Scotland, and perhaps Wales where most of my folks came from, on both sides of the family. Some picked up a little native blood when over here!  It is still in planning stages and nothing booked.       Tom.

Wow well i look forward to seeing heaps of photos next year. Beatles hey?
Chris

There are plenty of gators in that area...I've seen a few..if the water is brackish where you are, you might not have any..

It's nice to see these shots..

Beautiful area Karen and happy birthday matie. Do you get tornatoes there? Hope you never do see a crocodile. Specially a big one. Takecare and thanks for sharing.
Chris

Chris,

Thank you! I am only here 22 weeks but I think tornadoes are rare here, but, hurricanes are very possible. Charleston was hit by Hugho 15 years ago. But thank goodness hurricane season is over.  Again ty for the birthday wish. Karen :)

Nice spot Kort. Yeah amazing how our homes can look so different.
Chris

Kort, how old is that home? It has a very neat look and of the sort expected in that area.  thanks!

It is about 12 years old I believe, maybe 13. It is post hurricane Andrew and built to the new codes. You can't really get a home with such a nice 'lake view ' anymore down here unless you shell out some mega-bucks. It is gotten so expensive, and developers are making the retention ponds much smaller. Our property taxes went up over $1K this year and don't even get me started on insurance, though having hurricane shutters helps. We hear stories of people that have to sell now because they can no longer afford to live in South Florida. The housing bubble has broken for sure. 2 years ago prices were skyrocketing and people were buying and selling homes left and right. We're in for the long haul. :)

Kort, best wishes on the long haul..I do understand that!  The home is lovely and has the look I would expect of the area. Very neat and older in appearance in design.   Hang in there, friend!

Or course, keep a few bucks back for photo stuff..that is a necessity! LOL  Tom.

Thanks Tom, we'll do our best. It is a lovely area. Too bad the camera fund is taking a beating though. Manning, I totally hear you about getting outta town. ;o]

Manning that is my kind of home. Very peaceful. Any bush fires there though?
Chris

Thank you Dianthus, it is so very peaceful out here!  There are some brush fires out here but fortunately there is a fire station within a mile of my house (I've tried to transfer out to it but none of the guys at that station want to leave, LOL.)

Oh that is ashame. But we cant live in the bush with out local firefighters.
Chris

Kimme where is photo matie? Great view Shane. Looks like a lovely area:)
Chris

i havent got a shot of my house - but next time i am out i'll take a shot. thing is i live above a row of shops in a flat so you will only see windows :P

Beautiful shot of the sky, the colours & the tree in front makes this even better :) Well done Chris ;)

Beautiful images Shane

Naaah. Just kidding. The yellow lemony one. Smack in the middle between a liquor store and a BBQ shack and smack right in the middle of Florida.
What more can someone ask for? The way to my office is also extremely tough.
Around the corner in the same building.
