I want to move to all of the places on this thread.
And then there came Bedford! LOL :laugh:

Aww you all live in such beautiful places, I almost feel ashamed to post stuff about my teeny little town. Well I can't really find that many single photos but I did find this website that kind of explains what it is all about and stuff: http://www.beds.co.uk/town/pictures_of_bedford/index.html

There are also some inteseting facts and people that I had never heard about before:
http://www.beds.co.uk/index.html(and click on "famous Bedfordians"). It's a pretty good site overall, feel free to flick around and stuff.
The only thing it doesn't mention is all the Chavs and Goths that crowd the highstreets. :laugh: It is also only 11 degrees C here at the moment and it is raining cats and dogs. What the hell happened to May, I don't know.

Aw Becky Bedford is lovely!... I'm going to be staying in Crawley for 2 days  on my Trip to Greece in October. I know the Inn is nice I can only hope the Town is as lovely ad Beford

EDIT: Bah! Google Images is obvioulsy playing funny buggers with me!! I've just put the links to the sites in now where there was emant to be a picture before!

You can read about it here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irvine%2C_Scotland

Irvine Harbourside


This is before my time.. there is no longer this bridge here, it was replaced by a shopping centre over the water as the bridge.. not the prettiest of landmarks I have to say!

But I like Irvine for its gorgeous beach and surrounding and its also close to the family... (who live in Troon - hwere the golf open comes from every few years!) I work and was born in Glasgow which is only 30 minutes away. So thats close by..you can read about it and see pictures of it here:

and also of Troon

Great pix everyone!!  :D

I live in Edmonton, the capital city of Alberta, Western Canada! 
The city has a population of just over a million, and it is about 2.5 hours drive North of Calgary, where BBM was filmed. :)



Legislature buildings...



I am also an Alumna of the University of Alberta.. :) (lower portion of pic..)



Here is a view from West Edmonton Mall (supposedly the biggest mall in the world!)



One of my fave 'hang-out' spots is in Old Strathcona's Whyte Avenue - filled with shops, cafes, bars, and a definitely hoppin' night life  ;)

These are some pics of my hometown, Baltimore, MD.  An original New Yorker, but I have come to love this little city.

WOW! Such amazing places! I wish I could visit them all and you all   :-*
Can't wait to visit Australia some day  ;D

And here's the beautiful St. John's, the capital of Newfoundland and the oldest city in all North America, but often foggy as all hell!







(Very hill-y and angular downtown:)



Some buildings of my University (there are about 6 or 7 more buildings not shown in the pic):



Winter!  :o The snow's not ALWAYS this bad but it has gotten this bad several times (I dunno who the woman is!):



And the wildlife here in NFLD is incredible and so easily accessible. I can leave my aparment and walk for 20-25 mins to downtown to the waterfront and see whales:



And I took this yesterday when my friend and I walked around a nearby pond and fed the birds:



Oh, and someone in town found a moose in their backyard this morning! It jumped right over the fence!

Anyway, lol, I'll stop!

Everyone, keep posting! I love seeing where everyone lives!  :)

You all are posting such lovely pictures, you're making me long for my home town of Canandaigua, New York.  I just went looking for some nice photos, and lo and behold I found the yacht club (it's really just a sailing club and not that snobby) where my husband and I had our wedding reception and where I spent many summer Friday nights with my parents eating dinner:




And here's a Chamber of Commerce shot of one of the many farms in the area.




Sorry for the very touristy nature of this one, but it finally does the beauty of it some justice:




The Morgan Samuels Inn on the Lake (haven't stayed there, but it's so purdy):




And the Thendara Inn, where we had our wedding Rehearsal Dinner:




Man, I miss living in a place with *soul*.
No more beans!
