I think most people feel that way about where they're from, though.... Except kayleigh.

Dude, I thought there were people from the Pacific Northwest here. Let's go!

Well a friend just told me that apparently my city is the world's 3rd most livable city according to the notable Economist list of the world's most livable cities. I didn't even know! So everybody come live with me in Melbourne!

Here are some photos of Whangarei, the place I've called home since I was 13.



Whangarei Town Basin (pilfered from here)




These three are pics of Pataua which is probably my favourite place in Whangarei for sentimental reasons.

Just read through the whole thread (though may have to flip through it again later since some of the sites people host their photos at are blocked by my work's naughty stuff filter).

First observation: holy loving christ, likuidcoka is one obnoxious poster...

That place in France that ikvat posted pics of looks pretty win. I'd love to live somewhere like that (provided that the winters aren't cold). I feel a great need to check out Spain and Italy whenever I get a chance to travel to Europe.

That reminds me of the beach at Cape Henlopen, Delaware where I went on a camping trip earlier this year. Really flat and boring place. Wasn't my idea to go there. Overall Scotland looks like it has some great sightseeing though.

When I think about cities around the world I'd like to try living sometime, Melbourne often pops into my mind. Too bad air travel to/from Australia is balls expensive and there aren't a whole lot of interesting places to go outside the city once you're there.

I live in Virginia, back and forth between Charlottesville and Richmond. Some great outdoor scenery in the western part of the state, though neither of those cities is very interesting. I schlep up to NoVa/DC/MD for most of my music shows. I've taken plenty of nice photos around here - I'll post some when I get home.

Seeing as one or two members are showing off their surroundings...here's a couple of vids of Saddleworth Moor, high above Manchester to the east and only 15 minutes driving time away.
Bleak and beautiful. A great place to get away to, but not somewhere you'd want to get lost.





A view of Manchester from the edge of the moor.

I am originally from Toronto, but I've found a place close to my school in Hamilton, Ontario. Some pics:
