Chicago is a wonderful city, and I am a city girl for sure.  Even traveling to the suburbs gives me a bit of the creeps!  The city sits on Lake Michigan, which is the size of a small ocean, and the Chicago River runs through it, with drawbridges that actually work and disrupt traffic at the most inopportune timse.  Come visit, and I'll give you the official tour.


Welcome to my neighborhood!




This is the very famous Buckingham Fountain.  It's in the opening credits of "Married With Children"

Maybe you can tell, but Illinois is FLAAAAAAAAAAAT!


This is the skyline at night, taken from the Planetarium which sits out in Lake Michigan.  It's quite stunning.


This is Millenium Park, designed by world -renowned architect Frank Gehry, and about 2 blocks from where I live.

I live in the "Loop", the commercial heart of the city, surrounded by trains and big buildings and about 4 blocks from the lakefront.

Brussels is pretty (in places) and not too big (probably even a bit small), but veeery international! It's fun, especially in the months of May to August - plenty of concerts, events, festivals!

Boca Raton, Florida:

The view from my bedroom window (hardy har har):




The five-star Boca Raton Hotel and Resort, where the bold and the beautiful stay when they visit here  :




Mizner Park, open-air shopping center with Rolex and other shoppes you have to ring a bell to enter:




Where someone with infinitely more money than I will ever have gets to live:

Well, here is glorious Brisbane. Home to a couple of million people (I think we're up to 2 now  )  Home to some of the most beautiful weather you'll see in the whole country. Its not a terribly "happening" town, Sydney is more exciting, as is Melbourne.  But its home to me and Ray ... 


The Storey Bridge and Brisbane River.


River again. Some of the city skyline.


Another view of the bridge and skyline. As you can see, not a heck of a lot of town we got here.


River, skyline, hot air balloon.

And for good measure, a photo taken from my bedroom window.  Yes, my actual bedroom window.

Some scenes from Maine:

Nice view of the city of Portland, looking west. Notice all the red brick--two-thirds of the city burned down in 1866 and they didn't want that to happen again, hence the brick buildings..



Portland Head Light, commissioned by President George Washington. Once of the most photographed spots in the US.




Scenic coastal view



Penosbscot Bay, a little further downeast from Portland



Iconic lobster boat shot, had to have one of those!

Great pics, Sheyne! Beautiful view! A few years ago, my company wanted to transfer me to Brisbane but I wouldn't go because they did not have ice hockey there   No, actually the reason is because I could never leave the Rocky Mountains. I'll rustle up some photos of it soon...

Salt Lake City - nice, safe and boring place...


At least its pretty....


This is the town that I work in...(the big building is the LDS Temple)


But here's my hometown...

[Penthesilea]

I'm from Heidelberg, Germany. Heidelberg has about 140 000 inhabitants. Since 8 years I live 40 kilometers away from Heidelberg, in a rural area called Palatinate.

This is the famous Heidelberger Schloss (Heidelberg Castel):




Antoher view with castle and pittoresque Old Town. The River is called Neckar:




Palatinate is a rural area in south-west Germany with a low mountain range called "Pfälzerwald" (=forest of Palatinate). It's a well-known winegrowing area. So here's a picture from a vineyard:




The following are pictures from the village I live now. It has 2000 inhabitants.
The first is the view I enjoy every day when walking my dog. Plenty of market gardening here, especially onions. Often you can smell the onions throughout the whole village.



Another view of the surrounding nature. My dog likes to take a bath here:



And a last one from the village itself. As I said: very rural

I want to move to all of the places on this thread.
