Here are some Helsinki photos: http://www.geocities.com/juham0/helsinki/[^] jhaga --------------------------------- Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new. Henry David Thoreau, "Walden", 1854
"Finland, Finland, Finland, the place where I want to be. Eating breakfast or dinner, or just watching TV." I didn't know Finland was that attractive, maybe I should visit Helsinki some time.

After seeing Eastdragon's pics I thought it would be cool to start a thread where lots of people posted pics of where they live or grew up. Some pics of where I come from are here[^]. Most of the pictures are a little too urban for my liking but they were hard to come by. The most similar pic to home (where I grew up) would be the one of the Big Piney River, and I currently live about a mile from the Stonehenge in Rolla. I might have to take some forest pics to post next time I go home.:) Brad Jennings Sonork: 100.36360 AIM: hongg99
Cool idea :cool: Here's a couple from home - unfortunately I'm at work and don't have any of the farm I grew up on here. These are pretty recent though: Lion at night[^] View from home[^] View of Nelspruit from Kaapsehoop[^] Elephant at night[^] *Disclaimer: These four photo's are jumbled up in a general photo album - the other photo's there are not remotely related to South Africa or anything to do with home, so click on them at your own risk :rolleyes:.

Well, I'm from Scotland[^] and I was born in Edinburgh[^] but I now live in Dunfermline[^], which is aout 20 miles away. It is famous as it is the town Andrew Carnegie[^] was born. In case your curious - Andrew Carnegie, in his twenties, set his life goal as: During the first half of my life I will aquire as much wealth as possible, during the second half of my life I am going to give it all away. (And he did!) --Colin Mackay--

I moved around so much growing up it's difficult to remember just all the schools that I've been to, let alone all places that I've lived. This is my best attempt for those I remember in reverse date order as photos are prooving really hard to find: Tiverton (1999-current) http://www.tiverton.net[^] Where I live now. A decent enough British market town built around trade with the Great Western Canal and the cloth factories and surrounding estate being the main reasons. My friend's family used to own half of the town many generations ago. The yocals keep to their local shops and local pubs and the outsiders like me stick to ours. On the rare occasioned our paths cross we need to visit the hospital for anti-viral jabs. A lot of local people form Tivvy and the surrounding area work with one of the country's largest meat processors, so chances are if you buy a chicken from sainsbury's or some pork from Safeway it has passed through the hands of a Tivetonian. Kentisbeare (1995-1999) http://www.kentisbeare-primary.devon.sch.uk/village.html[^] Small, smelly and everybody is related to everybody else. That is the street I lived in anyway; the rest of the village was ok. Apart from the smell though - the fact that the entire village was surrounded by pig and cattle farms was not something they could hide - hell, even the chainlink fench surrounding the playground had pig shit hanging off it nine months of the year. I have fond memories of Kentisbeare because of all the places I lived this was the one where I actually got to have some resemblance a childhood: I remember riding my bike with my friend to some far off woodland with a lake and going hunting for pheasants armed with spears, and chasing deer around the orchards behind our houses, freeing ducklings from the local duck farmer, riding pigs, or rather trying to ride pigs, getting caught by the police stealing fish from the local trout farm, building dams in the local river and flooding the roads, playing on a tyre swing hanging fifty feet from a massive oak over a small ravine, ... all the things I never got to do anywhere else, and all without a care in the wole world. Damn, that place was good. Then I turned fourteen and that was that. Kenton

Yes it was, Grith, my girlfriend, got a good price for a room and tickets. Actually, it was my first time ever outside Denmark :-O, so we opted for a more luxurious vacation than we normally would pay for. The service from the employees was fantastic, they were always smiling and seemed very keen on making the stay comfortable. And last, if it wasn't for the Hotel restaurant, I would have starved. Admittedly, we didn't go to any restaurants outside the Ribeira so it may not be a trend, but at best the food was average. At one place I even got a steak which was very obviousely rotten! X| I really don't know what had happened to the waiters nose, but I could smell the steak from 10 meters away...

Maximilien wrote: the view from home is , wow, great ... I wish I had one like that! Thanks :) Nelspruit is beautiful, but it's a strange place. It hasn't grown large enough to outgrow the "small town syndrome" and I found it endlessly frustrating to meet clients through work who knew my entire life history thanks to my mother-in-law. The area is a real feast for the eyes though - I can't wait for our holiday home in January :cool:.

A decent enough British market town built around trade with the Great Western Canal Out of interest, what are the offroad cycling trails like around there? Are you likely to be run over by speeding cars, or are there decent stretches (more than 5 miles long say) where you could ride a bike without fearing for your life due to speed-demons?

There are a couple of routes I know of, one following the old railway line and the other along the canal - neither or which are near roads. Do watch out for locals along the railway path though - they live in little holes in the ground and don't trust outsiders.

Wow! So many great pictures...I wish I could visit all of these places. I currently live in Maryland, USA. I found some good [pictures of the area](http://pictures on the area)[^] on the web. Maryland is a great place but I still call Idaho, USA my home. I was born and raised in southern Idaho[^] and hope to return someday.
