Photos of the town you live in?? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

tropicdiver · 10-18-2003, 04:38 AM

Anyone have any photos to share of the town or area you live nearby?

Here's a photo I took, yesterday, when I was returning from a business trip. The town in Cape Coral and there's about 100,000 people that live here. The river on the horizon is the Caloosahatchee and the town on the other side is Fort Myers, Florida.

We have more canals in Cape Coral than there is in Venice, Italy, but perhaps we don't have the same charm, tho..

now there's a challenge ! finding an angle that will make Cardiff look pretty.. I'll have to get back to you on that ..

apeman · 10-18-2003, 09:28 AM

well the visibility today wasn't good and this looks nice but is fairly useless as a picture of the Cardiff (the city is the small blurry bit inbetween the sky and the woods)

tropicdiver · 10-18-2003, 12:58 PM

Hey, I've never seen Cardiff before today. Thanks.

scansinboy · 10-18-2003, 04:23 PM

Since there seems to be an aerial theme going on,
Milwaukee by Air...

(took this one as my buddies were flying around the city in a dual engine turbo prop...)

scansinboy · 10-18-2003, 04:24 PM

and by sea...

paddyjoe · 10-20-2003, 03:25 AM

Some nice shots so far.

Here's a slice of Rochester, N.Y., shot on a beautiful summer (ahhh, summer) day from the top row of the ballpark. Warm nights and cold beer, damn, I'm missing it already!

apeman · 10-22-2003, 12:31 PM

I'm posting this cos I rode up the hill specially for you guys

the big ugly building is a tax office, the big white spidery thing is the stadium, Penarth Head is just above it and there are two islands - Flatholm and Steepholm. Right on the horizon is the coast of England, across the channel.

petergriffin24 · 10-24-2003, 10:50 AM

wow awesome photos everyone keep up the great work

oldbob · 10-27-2003, 12:31 PM

I'm not there currently, but I was for a while.

Averett · 10-27-2003, 01:16 PM

Here's a picture of Albany, NY

Averett · 10-27-2003, 01:17 PM

And another.... I didn't take them. Thanks Google!

bernadette · 10-27-2003, 01:37 PM

ok. it's just a sign, not a nice sky view...

31Friction · 10-27-2003, 03:54 PM

this is the best one I could find... not very good tho.

Orionath · 10-27-2003, 04:31 PM

Well I've lived in St. Louis and Rochester, commuted to San Jose and Albany; but now I live in Portland --

The center of the world...apparently.

Or perhaps, home of the worlds largest marbles championship.

GuttersnipeXL · 10-27-2003, 04:47 PM

The Alb!!

Hey, c'mon back to Rochester big O. It snowed last week, I know you miss it!

Averett · 10-27-2003, 06:13 PM

Ahhh the Plaza.... and the Egg...

GuttersnipeXL · 10-27-2003, 06:47 PM

Yeah, the Egg is pretty cool...how many other cities have a gigantic concrete egg!

tropicdiver · 10-28-2003, 05:22 PM

It isn't where I live, but I sure enjoy visiting.

The match was a bit dull this week so I took a few of the view from my seat in St. James' Park.

canucker · 11-04-2003, 10:30 AM

That is a huge stadium. How many does it seat?

Jakejake · 11-04-2003, 11:34 AM

Here are some pictures of Oxford, England. It isn't where I live, but I'm at University here.

The river Thames that goes through the city.

The church opposite my college.

There are lots more pictures that I will put up some other time.

*Nikki* · 11-04-2003, 02:56 PM

A few miles from my house in SC

jwoody · 02-18-2004, 04:48 AM

I've recently relocated to somewhat greener pastures.

The old view from the bedroom window.

Hanxter · 02-18-2004, 09:31 AM

i didn't take this shot but i'm in it...
this is the Samuel B. Roberts, FFG 58, on the Kennebec River at Doubling Point through Fiddler's Reach going out on sea trials...
if you look on the port side wing wall outside the pilot house you'll see me...

in the Persian Gulf April 18,1988, hit an Iranian M-08 mine on the port side (fr.276, approx. midship), 4 feet from the keel..
a hole 15' x 20' was blown in the hull, knocking the main engines off their foundations and almost breaking the ship in half, 10 injured...
later rebuilt at Bath Iron Works Portland Facility and returned to service.

Charlatan · 02-18-2004, 09:59 AM

Toronto as seen from the Toronto Islands...

This is Toronto as seen from the Heights of Casa Loma (located on the ancient shores of what was Lake Iroquois)

City Hall

ooooo... the Islands and downtown

Downtown as seen from the East side of the Don Valley at the top of Riverdale Park (one block from my house).
