Before I discovered PBase, I'd've never known what Liechtenstein looks like, or the Svalbard islands. Just by using the search feature I've found tons of beautiful photo galleries, and definately some desktop-worthy material. Can anyone find any hidden treasures? What does your town look like?

Here are my Italy pbase pix.

Heheh, we sound like ads for pbase.

BTW, I was in Italy for vacation. I don't live there.

Those are absolutely amazing. I'll actually going to Montecatini, Sorrento, Rome, and Venice this coming spring. Have any recomendations as to what to see?

Oh, and how much is it to host at that site? I'd like somewhere to post my Bavaria/Austria/Czech/Hungarian trip pics.

For Sorrento and Rome, we just got places when we arrived. However, I've been told that in Sorrento they have a cool convent you can stay at, for $30 Euro a night. It's shared bathrooms and it's got a 12 am curfew, but it overlooks the area and the people we met that stayed there got the whole floor. (They were 2 people, but the floor is meant for 8. They got that because in September the numbers of tourists is starting to get smaller.)

If you do go for hotels, just remember that 4 star often means 3 star in North America. We went to 3 star places, which are more like 2.5 star in North America. Some 2 star places apparently suck, but others may be OK. 3 star is where air conditioning is becoming more the norm, BTW, and that's what we stuck with, at around 100+ Euro per night in both Rome and Sorrento.

Oh, and how much is it to host at that site? I'd like somewhere to post my Bavaria/Austria/Czech/Hungarian trip pics.

$23 for 200 MB, per year. (You can get up to 4 GB or so, but it's $$$.) You can get cheaper for simple web space of course, but for this $23 they give you a camera pix oriented setup, with automatic resizing, EXIF, camera and lens listing, comments, and forums, etc.
