Here's one from ClevelandMy submission isn't an exotic place but an exotic animal, or at least I think of the buffalo as exotic. This shot was taken last Saturday about 5 miles from my home in the Chickasaw national Recreational Area on a nature walk with my two grandsons. I was inspired to post this guy because one of the things busi2ness said in his thread he wanted to see was the bison, hope you enjoy him.

I join Digataleagle in posting an animal. Sure, this did not seem exotic to me but last year I would not have had opportunity for this raptor image..and most will not get the chance. So, this might fit the thread.In the middle of South east London is my little haven, of woodland called Russia dock woodlands, when you consider the concrete jungle that is London, its a nice relaxing place to be, even without ones camera

For those of you only interested in the bare facts: The Vredefort dome is the biggest visible crater on earth, about 90 miles across (some sources say 60 miles) and was created by a meteorite of about 6 miles in diameter, hitting earth about 2,000 million years ago. The crater rim is about 90 miles from my home. Here is another satellite picture. The impact melted the gold and forced it to the surface and South Africa's gold mines are located around the crater.
Shari said "hooterville"! :ohmy: Denise, show us what you have, I bet she is too scared to upload any of her pics here.
Digitaleagle: Royce, thank you for that upload of the Bison. While being surrounded by animals you would regard as exotic, I long to see the world on your side, the things you take for granted.

I live where most of the country is lower as the sea, so in the old days they invented the watermills. And if everything goes as they predict, I've to buy a lifeboat to hang it on my balcony.These mills are about 20 miles north and we have to pass them when whe're go for a visit to our daughter:

First off, here is the exotic Mukilteo-Clinton ferry running in a beautiful December sunset.

This is the exotic boat lift at the Edmonds harbor. I think this scene is just as common as can be, but that's what I thought when I posted a picture of the dry storage lot at the marina, too! (They stack boats three high in huge metal shelving frames.) This photo shows the mechanism they use to launch boats. You can back your boat trailer up to the sling, and they slide those straps under the boat. Then they turn on the motor on the lift, and set your boat down in the water. Snazzy, huh? You should see the one they use to put the really big boats in and out of the water! It handles power boats up to 60 feet long. It's sort of like this, only ... well ... different. :)

About 20 miles from my home is a private reserve, home to these white rhinos. See [Bona Bona](http://www.bonabona.co.za). It is not common to see 5 rhinos in the same capture of which two are pregnant cows. In this reserve they have 1 cow and her calf quite used to human presence in the distance. Weddings photos are then captured with this cow and her calf about 50 yards away, just for that exotic touch.The link supplied is also a hat trick on these rhinos.
I stand amazed at the collection of photographs being uploaded here.
It's in tne south east of France in French Riviera
An area (few kilometers) spread between country and sea
I show you there a natural terrace upon the sea
The natural tree in French Riviera is the "Pin maritime" often laid down by the strong wind
This wind, surfers love there !!! lol
There's 2 districts ( called départements in France ) in French Riviera :
the Alpes Maritimes where I live, Wendy ( aka Redchilicat here) visited in may 2008
The Var where lives our friend Nathalie ( here aka Nathalie06)
I shot this pic middle frontier of Var and Alpes Maritimes
Hope i was'nt too long in my explanations as to show you South East of France
Tara ( Auntiekt) I wish you think France is still exotic in your meaning of Exotic
Amitiés à tous
Magali
Oh Magali, I DO still think France is exotic! :) The French Riviera is a place we here in Seattle only dream of. Thank you!
@ PJ, I was assuming three posts per person, like other threads, but I didn't ask. Although the running threads are unlimited, like "The Picture Below Me" and "Instant Recall," so who knows? Good question.
And Piet! Rhinos, no matter how many there are, whether they're pregnant or not, and whether they pose for wedding shots or not, are ALWAYS exotic! LOL! Wow. Way cool image!
I love seeing any photos of The Netherlands, because I have a good friend who is from there. :)

Hey all... I got a message or a challenge form Piet to join in the fun.. so not sure how exotic this is but its very current I took it yesterday while out on a drive.. you can see the water level here is quite low.. this is Norris Lake in Norris Tennessee.. about a 30 minute drive from my home..
This is the picture I would show anyone if I have to explain what it looks like where I live. The biome is classed as flat, Savannah grass land. Can you see the grain (corn) silos in the distance? That is where I live. Some people are so blasé that they hardly see the animals when they travel through every day.
Some sources say this is the only area where Zebra and Gemsbuck occurred. To the east no Gemsbuck and to the west hardly a Zebra.
Oh btw: Thank you for joining the thread Lynell. ;)
Piet, it is difficult to think folks would take the daily routine and miss the animals...the animals we without those in the back yard find so exotic and valuable. Then aqain, take a drive from the Seattle of Washington state in the USA to Vancouver, Canada and take the side roads..the ocean is wonderful..the mountains you can see are totally wonderful. Flying in we went over Mt. Hood, Oregon on the way to Seattle and were amazed. So...we become accustomed to the face?
Joe, thanks for the photos and the wonderful sky shot at the old steel mill...I am still looking and know where it is now..been here all along but a few more miles away than I could make this weekend.
These shots are so ... what's the word... STELLAR...that I am at a total loss. Everything here looks so plain. And really, my biggest weekness in photos is landscapes. I can't seem to find anything at all that looks exotic and even worse, the few things I have seen that MIGHT work - didn't.
Fudge Buckets!!! What to do?

PJ my sister lives in the area you do, the town of Rescue, and I have to disagree with you I believe it is a beautiful area, how about a picture of the Capital building or the historic Gold Country, that shows the area and the history and beauty of where you call home, I know I for one would love to see it....
Love the Carnival and Chinese New Year additions..
have a great day all...
@ PJ -
Just take pictures of what you see! The landscape we see every day doesn't look exotic to us. Just shoot what's there, and let us look! To Piet, rhinos who pose for wedding pictures are just an interesting curiosity. (!) It's all perspective. I would LOVE to see pictures of your area! I haven't been through there since about 1980 or so, and all I remember are the tomato trucks.
:)

This is a bit of an experiment...
This challenge stems from a discussion in the forum, which can be seen HERE
In the course of the discussion, we debated if photo's from "exotic: locations got more views than images of "normal" locations..
Let's face it..not everyone lives in the Grand Canyon...or other breathtaking locations around the world..
So, the challenge is, show us, just how exotic it can be WHERE YOU LIVE !!!!!
I'm not going to lay down a bunch of strict rules....
It should be NEAR where you live...Not 100 miles away....close to home..
You can either post your image here in this thread....
or post the image in your gallery , and post a link to it in this thread...
This is meant to be informal...let's have some fun and maybe learn a little about where every one lives !!!
