Share Your City!
 

Living in a city with the worlds tallest tower that keeps growing, i thought i'd share this amazing building called 'Burj Dubai' or the 'Tower of Dubai'. oddly enough there are plans to surpass this with another tower in dubai that was unveiled this week. you can expect that one to finish in about 10 years!

it just keeps getting taller and taller every month. ambition has no boundaries.



so i thought that if im sharing my city, why not everyone share theirs? post your skyscrapers and show us your cities! id love to see where everyone else lives.

here is mine

Great idea. I don't have any photos on this computer but when I am home next week I will post some shots.

gives me a chance to see what other places i should see.

hows the holiday going charls?

I wish it was a holiday. While the location is cool... it's almost entirely work.

Dlish all you are doing is making me want to move there more than ever! I have been firing emails off to some of the Baker employees out in Dubai so who knows...

i live in the country..........can i still play?

My city is not known for its sky scrapers, but the beauty around it.

A few to give you an idea.

This is an aerial shot of Corvallis facing south--it's only a small sliver of the city. In the image, you can see most of downtown and Southtown, as well as the floodplain across the river from downtown. The river that runs through our city is the Willamette. The three bridges, going southwards (upwards in the picture), are the Harrison St bridge, the Van Buren Bridge, and at the top of the picture, the Peoria Bypass Bridge. If you look just past the top bridge, you can see where the river bends; I'm playing soccer at a park there this morning. My house is to the west (the left side) of the picture--you can't see where I live on this photo as Corvallis basically spreads westwards and northwards from this point. I'll try and see if I can get some photos whilst I'm out. You also cannot see Oregon State University's campus in this photo; it is directly west of downtown.

fly..of course you can. doesnt have to be the city. just the most remarkable landmark of your city or something that you think is significant enough for a mention.

do i notice that a bushfire came through? neat photo too btw

snowy...cant wait to see the one you took today!

Its 12 photos seemlessly stiched , and pretty damn well too. I was impressed how it came out.

Its not ash from a bush/brush fire, that is volcanic rock. Its a volcano that erupted about 1000 years ago. Lenox Crater. To its left is Sunset Crater (photo here)

Kingston, Ontario. Confederation Marina in front of the City Hall.

I was just about to start a similar thread...
 

Here are some photos i took this morning around town.
I was going to start a thread like this.
Instead i'll just drag this old one back into the light...

Here's a couple of the SuperPit we have on our doorstep,

And this is our local museum
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...l/PICT0248.jpg

This is our old post office.
It's not used anymore,
But the clock is still right & it's on the main street of town.

whoah! some interesting pics ishmal. the scale between the 4x4 and the mountain is unbelievable. what are they mining ?

great to see the familiar lansdscape!

There's not a single thing about mhy city that is pretty. It's the ugliest fuckin place.

Haha.
Well a big hole in the ground isn't really very pretty.
But i figure it's interesting to have on our doorstep.

We're mining Gold in that big hole.

Here's a photo i just scooped off an abc news website.
Shows how close the superpit is to town,
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...al/PitKal2.jpg

We've recently (in the last few years) had to move the highway so that they could get at some new ore they found.
We've just started mining it this year.

Huge restrictions,
No mining at night & gotta be carefull of early morning noise & try to make no dust.
So the towns people don't get upset.
