A fun idea? 'This is where I'm from'

I like how Kerli has this album on her Myspace with pictures of where she is from. I thught it would be cool, since everyone on this forum is from somewhere different, if we did the same? I think it would be fun to see pictures from all of these places all over the world.

I'll start. I'm from Dallas, Texas, in the United States.
Here's kind of a famous skyline landmark downtown.



There's a fancy restaurant in the top of this tower where the floor moves, so while you're sitting there eating your dinner, you get a 360 view of the city.



Anyone else think this might be fun?

I'll do it! Heeere I go!

Dunedin, New Zealand
We have a whole lot of old builidings;
The Railway Station


And a bunch of wildlife!!
Mainly the albatross, which apparently only live here or something like that



And also forests etc.

I'm from Lithuania

this is "Trakų pilis" (Trakai is the city and "pilis" means castle ). It's kinda famous cuz it's on an island in the middle of a lake (this way people wanted to protect themselves from enemies in the middle ages)



This is Cathedral (it's in Vilnius - capital city of Lithuania )


This is Saint Anne Church. According to legend, this church is "red" because of the blood of the person who built it. After he finished building it his.. well, I don't actually remember who, it's either his friend, father or brother xD pushed him off the roof of the church. Some say it was because he was jealous, others say he was so proud that he wanted to tap his shoulder... anyways, it didn't end well xD

I'm from Romania ^^

This is the Peles Castle, "where Dracula lived" hehe

My plan is to first move to Helsinki (most of my family lives over there) and then to New York

Eek, your school is so cool!
Does it snow lots there? *_*

Well last winter was absolutely crazy we had every day more and more snow and it turned annoying really fast but two winters before that we didn't have much because of the global warming thing.
I still hope there's gonna be snow in future but not as much as last winter

Wow awesome
I wish it snowed more here in NZ. but it never really does.

yeah last winter was really snowy, loads of snow everywhere! Here are some pics from a small town in Finalnd.







going to Tallinn, ice everywhere....


I'm from Pärnu, it's a nice summer town in Estonia. But I've lived in Finland for years.

WOW that's so awesome!!
I loooove snow so much!

That's some crazy snow!

Here's some less-impressive snow in Dallas just for fun...





It doesn't snow here often. And when it does it usually melts the same day.

wowow, that's still at least 80% more than the snow we get where I live!
A bit more west of where I live it has the most snow, but I live too close to the harbour!

I took some pictures today when I was walking to school this morning :] It is winter here and it doesn't snow at all :S
Only up in the Blue Mountains but that is like a long way from where I live D: And I only been to the snow once, wasn't fun at all when you have to sit out and watch people have a jolly good time all because my heart was at a high pressure and I was due to surgery the next week.

That looks like a nice walk It doesn't look at all like winter in those pictures, everything is so green and so sunny!

Aww, that sucks you were sick and didn't get to have fun in the snow. :/

Yeah it is a beautiful walk in the morning :]

But I did have two people come and join me and we had a snow ball fight and attempt to make snow balls while nearly everyone is sliding down the slope. So it wasn't much of a disaster.

yeah i remember when it snowed it melted on the same day xDD but it was nice anyway

It always sucks because you want it to stay, so you get out of school.. and it never does

You're from Texas too! Neat! I'm not that familiar with Houston area though.

lol we got out of school early and when i got home it was all gone
im slightly fimalliar with dallas because i have family there and my dad makes me go to the nascar races with him

Here are some pictures of my hometown and landmarks around where I live



This is the Marketplace in the town centre, in Summer I'm guessing because the fair's in town!



This is the Major Oak in Sherwood Forest which is a few miles from my hometown. It's hollowed out inside and you used to be able to go inside it, but you can't now, because it's so old it could fall down without all that support



This is the Gateway to what was Nottingham Castle, it's literally the only part of the castle left!



And finally, this is the school I will be leaving for good tomorrow!

wooow these places are beautiful!!!

thanx for sharing!

I'm from Hungary. : )

This is Hungarian Parliament (in hungarian just Parlament) - Budapest


(Lake) Balaton - The largest lake in Central Europe


The Basilica in Esztergom (next to Slovakia)


And a lot of buildings, churchs, castles, museums, theaters and bridges are beautiful.

Awesome! I'm hungarian too but I live in Switzerland, but I visit it quite a lot because all my relatives live there.
Everyone has so pretty pictures, it's crazy!

I'm from the state of Colorado in the U.S.


Here's what the skiing is like:

This is the view from what we call a fourteener. It's a mountain in the 14,000 ft. elevation range. I took this one after climbing it.

so beautiful place

I'm from good old Nebraska, USA <3

The Sandhills


Toadstool Park
