Well im interested where people are from. I am guessing that there is people from all over the world posting here and being some one interested in the world and places how about a picture thread of your city. Rule is this. One post per day with one picture of the city you live in. Ideal try not to post the same picture if some one else has and orginals are best. The hard part will be finding that great one picture that represents your home. I'll start since its my post.
People of MacNN I introdcude to you Vancouver Canada

I chose this picture, because there are lots of beautiful parks all over the city, so I wanted a photo that included at least one.

Yeah part of the deal is that you have to stick to the image size limits.
Or wait for Tookie to remove your post.

Side note remove pictures from replys please.
Oh that looks real nice, I really want to make Australia a place to visit in the next few years. Vancouver is currently tied with I think Sydney for 3rd best overall place to live in the world. A Great picture.

Nice thread.
I live in this New England town, and have lived here most of my life. My house is on this photo very close to the lower river.
And here's a close-up of the downtown. Being New England, we have a lot of different churches. Mine is the gold-domed one on the right.

A rather dismal looking pic of Leeds, i live in a small village 10 miles away. Looks horrible, but is an awesome place to live with great shopping and even better nightlife. The village i live in is a typical English one, nice large park, 3 pubs for a few pints and quaint old cottages, doesnt come cheap though, but beats city centre life hands down!!
This is the old Corn Exchange building, now full of boutique shops
And within 15 minutes i can be driving around in the beautiful scenery of the Yorkshire Dales.

If you look out the windows in the staff break room where I work you see this.
The top-boss sees this view when he gets up from his desk.
I live just below the 5 in 395 in the lower center of this image.

One should never stop striving for clarity of thought and precision of expression.
I would prefer my humanity sullied with the tarnish of science rather than the gloss of religion.

Moving on the 10th of Jan to rue de Bievre, the street Mitterand used to live in, right next to Notre Dame.
As for Paris someone should dig up that awesome panoramic shot from the top of Notre Dame.

Couple Universities here in Vancouver
This is UBC (University of British Columbia)
This second one SFU (Simon Frasier University) might be recognized by some in shows like Sliders, X-Files, and Stargate SG1, a lot of films have filmed up there for there futuristic look.

Places I have called home:
Ashland, Oregon, a charming town of 20,000. I was born in a bed my father built.
Seattle, Washington. Truly a wonderful city.
Lima, Peru. I loved my year here.
removed at the request of the webhost of the picture
And, New York, New York. My favorite place so far, except that I miss mountains terribly.
