Show Us Your Scenery

[pamelajoy]

Show us the scenery where you live or where you have traveled. I'll start.

http://pamelajoy.com/alaska/fairbanks/m01jan/photos/sunset.jpg
Sunset in January in Fairbanks, Alaska,
at 3:24 p.m. for a total daylight of 4 hours and 49 minutes.

[pamelajoy]

Notice the snow clinging to the chain-link fence. http://pamelajoy.com/alaska/fairbanks/m01jan/photos/house1.jpg
Even with less than 5 hours of daylight, the sky is bright
and clear during the middle of the day.
The sky is crystal clear and the air is icy and clean.

[big ed]

Uh,


















Blizzard in Antartica!






Play on, big ed

i was thinking of a thread like this when we last spoke.

here is my local bus station, it's about 3 minutes walk from my house

http://www.londonbuspage.com/JPGs/040828-s.jpg

this is the Thames, my house is about 30 seconds away from the houses on the river bank you can see.

http://www.chiswicklifeboat.org.uk/images/CLB%20boat%20race%20finish.jpg

this is a view i've known all my life.

http://mylondondiary.co.uk/2001/01/010801/011b25.jpg

here's a small church, if you go right about 90° from the last picture you will see the start of the road where this church is.

[snowbound]

Since i live in the concrete jungle, this is a view of some of the city from Centre Island.

The tall building is the CN Tower and the building next to it on the left with the white roof is Rogers Centre where the Toronto Blue Jays baseball team plays and also the Toronto Argos football team along with various other events. Those other buildings farther back to the right is the area where i live. :)

[ronjor]

It's very close to being a tornado.

[bigc73542]

It doesn't look good though. Be sure to put your hard hat on ;)

[beetlejuice]

And it's not over yet!!!!! :o

[beetlejuice]

-{ Quote: "It's very close to being a tornado." }- Nah, that was just a low hanger. We can tell when they're Tornado's when the cows start flying by. Then it's time to hit the deck. :o

[Marja]

PU-LEEEZE, BJ, SEND SOME OF THAT COOL RAIN OUT HERE TO CALI!!

A 105 FOR FOUR DAYS IN A ROW IS WAAAAAY TO MUCH HEAT FOR THIS CAT!! THOUGHT MY ONE FEMALE PUP WAS DYING ON ME YESTERDAY..............

SEND RAIN, GET COCHISE TO DO A RAIN DANCE!!!


CALL NOAH!! SPIN YER HEAD REALLY REALLY FAST - MAYBE THE CLOUDS WILL COME OVER HERE!!!!!

SOS!! SEND OVER SOMETHING!!

PUDDLE OF MARJA8)

[beetlejuice]

If I could send you some rain and cool weather, believe me I would. I hate it when it's hot like that. OK Chise. You heard her. Do your stuff. ;D

[Marja]

LOL! THANKS!! SHOULD I GET MY UMBRELLA NOW??

[beetlejuice]

I really don't know if it will help all that much, maybe a hard hat. The last time he did a rain dance cows fell from the sky!!!!! :o Made for a nice BBQ though. ;)

[bigc73542]

I am not sure which county you are in but it looks a little rough up there

[beetlejuice]

We're in Johnson County, just SW of Kansas City. When BB gets done with dinner, I'll see if she can draw an arrow on the radar map where we are. From the looks of the latest radar, this stuff will probably be here all night. ;D

[pamelajoy]

big ed, I see that all the time in our winters. ;)

iceni60, how fun to see the buses, the river, the bridge, the church, things you see every day but are very exciting for us. It looks like another country from where I live.

Yes Beetleboss, I am glad thatyou thought of it! (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=77744&page=15&pp=25)

lynchknot, what a beautiful neighborhood. I love the mountain and the bridge. Where is this bottle?!

snowbound, Toronoto is breathtaking. I love the clear blue sky, even if it is a concrete jungle.

big buck, you really live in Australia?! Some day we shall come for a visit. I love your front yard!

musicman, what a lovely photo. I think cities by a river are so beautiful.

bigc, the park is so green! When I was a little girl, we used to go to TenKiller Lake to go fishing.

beetlejuice, your weather looks scary in color. I hope you turn off your computer if a thunderstorm is passing over you.

ronjor, I hope the storm doesn't cause any damage to where you live. Before we moved to Alaska, we lived in Ft. Hood, Texas. I was sure I would move back there someday. I loved it when we lived there. I have never been to Galveston, though, and it looks like a fun town.

Beetleboss, your weather looks scary! Be ready to go to safety, okay!?

Everyone, your photos are wonderful. Somebody was worried that if we started this thread that nobody would post. Well, thank you all for joining in the fun!

http://pamelajoy.com/images/smileys/grin.gif I agree with Beetleboss, so cool! http://pamelajoy.com/images/smileys/happy.gif

This is the entrance to the Ice Festival Exhibit. Yes, those are blocks of ice stacked up to make the watchtower. Everything in the ice park is made of carved blocks of ice.

[pamelajoy]

Lynchnot, I would have guessed that your photo was taken somewhere in the Northwest. I thought it was around Seattle and Mt. Rainier. I have flown in to Portland when I was visiting someone in McMinnville. It is so green there from all the rain.

http://pamelajoy.com/images/smileys/bar.gif

Are you still hot?
http://img26.echo.cx/img26/5964/p3180271251zb.jpg
This is the greenhouse which is all geared up for spring.
This was taken in March of this year.
Do you feel cooler yet?

[Marja]

THE BEETLES BETTER HEAD FOR COVER! YIKES! I WOULD SEND HEAT BUT THINK THAT JUST MAKES IT WORSE, DOESN'T IT?

[Marja]

I COULD JUST LAY RIGHT DOWN IN THAT SNOW, PAMELA!! THANKS!

[Ailric]

This is my 'hood.

[Ailric]

My 'hood is pretty close to here.

[BeetleBoss]

That looks really cool!! Ailric

http://www.wilderssecurity.com/images/other/COOLSMILE.GIF

[pamelajoy]

Ailric, that water looks pretty cooling to me! And if I was in that boat by Niagra Falls, I would definitely be cooled off.
http://pamelajoy.com/images/smileys/sunface2.gif

[bigc73542]

Ailric, have you ridden the Maid Of The Mist?

[greyfox]

Beach on Puget Sound near where I live.

[Ailric]

-{ Quote: "Ailric, have you ridden the Maid Of The Mist?" }-
Yeah, when I was in high school. It's amazing the power those boats have. They get pretty darn close to the falls. It is cooling... everybody gets raincoats to wear.
It's been warm and humid around here for the last week. Highs in the mid 90's... the hottest June we've had in 10 years. It's back to sanity now - mid 80's.

[greyfox]

A favorite place to go about 50 miles north, Deception Pass.

[BeetleBoss]

Beautiful pictures, Greyfox!!

http://www.wilderssecurity.com/images/other/magic.gif

[Ailric]

I have to add this last picture.
I took this photo on July 4, 2002.
Ground Zero, New York City.

[BeetleBoss]

Ailric, you have me in 'awe' looking at that picture

[Blackspear]

This my place ;D

[pamelajoy]

greyfox, your photo of Puget Sound is so pretty. We went to Seattle on our honeymoon. :) The bridge photo looks like a nice place to kayak.

Ailric, it's sad you experienced that loss, but it's a treasure to have the photo.

You're right pamelajoy! They do kayak through Deception Pass.

iceni60, what beautiful flowers!

Acadia, that looks like the Oregon coast to me.

greyfox, the Cascade Range looks like it could be in Alaska!

I, just a few minutes ago, stood on my backyard balcony and took some pictures looking north then south (adjusted in photoshop with filters). I tried to take a picture of the dining room with view but lighting was poor and I did not know how to fix it in photoshop

You are very blessed with that view!!

http://users.telenet.be/honeybee1/smiley126.gif

Thank you sooo much for sharing!!
Keep them com'in!

[lynchknot]

Well, yes and thank you - it's beautiful but stressful at the same time. I'm here because my dad died and my mom is all alone. She has advanced diabetes and osteoporosis. I take care of some of her needs and their "dream house"

[BeetleBoss]

I'm so very sorry about your dad's passing.
That is veryyyyyyy sweet of you to be there for your momhttp://img118.exs.cx/img118/1691/hug8ok.gif

You know, the original picture of the diningroom windows looks just fine to me.......I don't see the need to lighten them. I actually, think the view shows up better in the original http://img116.exs.cx/img116/934/z0tdntknw.gif

[lynchknot]

You only get one mom. I love my mom very much. I want to help her last years without as much loneliness and I wish to spend time because it's getting shorter- we both miss my dad. This is the original straight from drive A:

[greyfox]

Lynchknot, Where are you taking the scenery pictures? The Pacific Northwest? You are a good son. I would hope my son will treat me that well when I need him to help me out.

[Meltdown]

This isn't where I live... or not yet anyway. It's a house some friends and I have bought in a village in Romania. It's in poor condition and we don't have time to go there much (it's several hundred miles away), so we're just trying to make sure it doesn't fall down.

[Meltdown]

This is the main street in the village, and the surrounding fields. None of the houses have running water, but there's a village well. They got electricity in the early 1990s. Most people get by with subsistence farming. It looks idyllic but it's a hard life, and the community is gradually dying as young people move out.

I loved the pictures of the village.....and thanks for the backround. http://img118.exs.cx/img118/1691/hug8ok.gif

ErikAlbert, I LOVED ALL THOSE PICTURES!!
EVERY 103!!
Snagged that first pic for the Castle theme in PSP (http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showpost.php?p=501828&postcount=1646)
What a beautful area!! All the buildings there have such great architecture.

Thanks so much, guys! bj is thrilled at the savings of air~fare $$

-{ Quote: "Lynchknot, Where are you taking the scenery pictures? The Pacific Northwest?" }-

Yes, I'm in Washington near the Columbia river - up in the hills.

[Marja]

My pics are lost that are from the time I was in Columbia, so I hunted some up for ya, BBoss!

I stayed mainly in Santa Marta, it was totally cool! Didn't want to come back! LOL!

There were the tropical rainforests a few miles away from the beach I was staying at, the water so clear you could swim out pretty far and still see thru the water, it was a beautiful sorta of aqua.......white sand beaches, and the Andes Mountains were only a short drive away, you felt surrounded by mountains and water, and wonderfully warm Columbians!

You could see a donkey driven cart parked at a parking meter along with a 49 Ford, old American cars were even in 'car showrooms'! I saw a 57 Belair (this was the early '90's!) sitting in the showroom like a prince!

The girls in our group all got in trouble from the old mamacitas for wearing sleeveless sundresses! :o Boy, did we get in trouble for that?!!?

The weather is wonderful too, not too hot or cold, unless you go more into the mountains, still not cold to me, tho....

At the time, it was before all the really bad troubles, I hate to hear about all that, it was a wonderful place! Guess now I am glad my family talked me into coming back home! ;D

Here is a church that is a big tourist attraction, it's supposedly the scene of many miracles by the Virgin Mary. I am putting some links down so you can read about it yourselves,...pretty amazing looking place and this is the third one that has been built!

[Marja]

Here is a shot of Santa Marta beach - the city square goes right along the beach - kinda like Santa Monica if you have been to California.

I was further away from the city -

(Forgot the links for the cathedral -

[Marja]

Columbia was best know for it's beautiful emeralds, here is an emerald mine.........wish I would have bought stock now! LOL!

[Marja]

A bigger pic of the Cathedral........

[Marja]

This is a map to show you where Santa Marta is........(Alicia and Sam;))

[Marja]

This is the river through Medillin, it's soo neat - had to show you....the river is lit up in December for Christmas - or was - don't know much about Columbia now, cuz it's gotten such a bad name and that's a shame!

(Except for Shakira and some of the other fine artists who try to represent Columbia as it should be!)(Down boys! LOL!)

[Marja]

On holidays and Sundays, most of the towns and cities close down for a couple of hours and they have a like street festivals anyone can join in! So, you can have your own parade! What ya think, Sam! Take your wagons?? :D

[Marja]

It's also surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and the Carribbean, lots of seafood, salsa dancing and water!

[ErikAlbert]

BeetleBoss,
I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures of Antwerp in Belgium.

That beautiful castle is called "Het Steen", literally translated, it means "The Stone".
I don't live very close to that castle, but with my bicycle it takes 10-15 minutes to get there.

[BeetleBoss]

Marja!! Look what you've been hide'in from us Girlfriend!!

THOSE PICTURES ARE AMAZING!!
THEY'RE JUST BEAUTIFUL!!

http://bestsmileys.com/fainting/1.gif

That Cathedral is really beautiful!!

Yep, the map really helped Alicia & Sam out......
next time can you draw little arrows on it for their Mommy ;)
Ask Eric, he knows!

Those lights were really neat too........that was Steve's fav!!

Nope, never been much anywhere but, Ks.

Well, I did vacation with Mom & Dad when I was a kid......

Fairbanks, Alaska

This was taken on a May afternoon. I am standing on First Avenue, facing northeast, and you can see the Cushman Street Bridge with the flags on it. That's the Chena River running under the bridge. Look at all that beautiful, blue sky. Wow! Do I love it here!
