Post pictures of where you come from!! [edit] US state of Missouri [/edit]

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

Here's one from my neighborhood - never mind the dangerous looking chick.[^] And a few miles down the road, I found this suspicious character.[^] If that was real gold, he'd be struggling mightily to hold it up, of course. The building he's standing in front of is the Oatman Hotel[^]. Built in 1902 in what was then a gold mining boom town along Route 66, it was a vacation spot for the stars; Clark Gable and Carol Lombard spent their honeymoon there in 1939. "Your village called -

I still look back back on that little excursion to your place as a lot of fun, and I want to thank you again for showing me around.:-D

Pictures taken near where I grew up,[^] in central Illinois (USA). I grew up about 5 miles north of town of 1300 people. Most of the pictures on the above link were taken close to our old house. I wish I had some others because these aren't great. I still only live about 30 miles from home.

blogLooks strikingly similar to where I grew up. I grew up about 2 or 3 miles froma village of 100 people. The closest city that had over a 1000 people was 10 miles. Brad Jennings Sonork: 100.36360 AIM: hongg99

Just out of curiosity, why are there no people in most of these pictures? In the US, and probably most of the world, we hear all our lives about what a terrible overpopulation problem China suffers. In any small town in the US there are people standing around in parks and on sidewalks at almost any hour of the day, and it's positively crowded in any large city. Are people there so polite that they get out of the photographer's way? Great photos, again... Thanks!:-D "Your village called -
They're missing their idiot."Well, we do have crowd. But what the links of the Photos I post here,mostly is the nature parts of Nanjing. I think camerist think it's a good idea to prevent the crowd. And the supervisor of the parks think it's a good idea to higher the gate money to prevent the crowd so that it can minimize the damage to the nature and historical scenery. And people in here are very busy with working, and we have lots of civic squares in the down town to enjoy and they are free to enter. So if it is not in holidays, people in parks are not crowd. Let's roll!
