    I was thinking about this while browsing Yakumo's thread about life in Japan and how cool it is to see pics from places I otherwise most likely will never see, and how they are so much cooler and interesting coming from the person taking them themselves.

    So what I was thinking was, why no the rest of us ? Why not we all share interesting pics from where we are ? I would love to see some of the pics from those that are in the UK and anywhere really, cause they are all different and fun to see. We'll what do you think ?

    I say we post pics of where you live, work or anywhere nearby. It may seem dull to you as you are there but otheres may find interesting..like me :)

    I would definately like to see pictures from the UK. Only time I ever get to see it (and Japan) is in movies.

    I don't think anyone would want pictures of Connecticut though :p

    I doubt anyone would actually WANT to see Guadalajara, Mexico - but I'll look around and carry my dad's digital with me.
    There's interesting stuff to be seen in my city - other than the depressive stuff.

    Honolulu as seen from my apartment x 10 (on two different days). May seem superfluous, but I love how the weather can completely change the landscape.

    Downtown / Harbor (in the middle of the pic are the original missionaries graves)

    Mountains

    City Hall or some shit. Nice yard, no? I work in the darker of the three buildings in the very top left-hand corner.
    [​IMG]

    Ala Moana Beach. I surf here and wave at the vagrants that live from their cars there.
    [​IMG]

    The harbor, where all the ice from the other islands comes in.
    [​IMG]

    Harbor + plane. Sometimes I can liveout Shenmue fantasies there.

    I'm such an idiot. I can't find any of the pics of my old neighborhood in Tokyo. :( I do have some of my wife's neighborhood (mainly the local temple at New Year's) if anyone wants to see those.

    Your wish is my command... as soon as I can get this bloody video camera to take still images, that is. I'll give it another try in a bit.
