Here is my home town, Lester Prairie, Minnesota.

 

 

 

 

And the family manse, Chez Larson.

 

 

 

 

I've travelled around this world a fair bit over the years and seen many a wonderous place, but there's no place like home.

 

Cheers!

This is the Bow River at the foot of our garden....

The little one is 21 days old today, but who's counting?

Heres some pics of my town ( its more like an area on a map with a border around it and a name on it, no real "town" to speak of.)

 

 

 

 

 

This shot is about 1 minute from my house

From Bottom to Top: Whitchurch, Hampshire, where I live. And it's most famous resident (at present) Richard Adams, author of Watership Down, also pictured. It's about 6 miles NE of Whitchurch. Three and a half miles away is Longparish, birthplace of Lanoe Hawker. Couple of pictures of that then one of the house Lanoe was born in, Home Croft, currently for sale at £395,000 and his grandparents' house - Longparish House... on the market a couple of years ago for £9m!

Great pictures Gous!

 

We were at that very place just two months ago (Here are our pictures).

 

My family all agree that we enjoyed Greece the best. We wanted to get out to the islands and just didn't have the time. Sure enjoyed the trip to the coast and that little park there along the coast was beautiful!

 

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Guys,

 

This is my home town Ballarat, Victoria, Australia. 100Km west of Victoria's capital Melbourne..

I now live about 15 minutes out of Ballarat in a very small town called Miners Rest, theres nothing there to really show a picture of...

 

regards Rob.

Don't forget to let me know when you'll be back in the area...i'll be glad to see you.

Well, i'm not a fisher but many of my friends are. Sorry to break the charm of the tourist guide, but did you know there is a nuclear plant just 10 miles upstream, at Chinon.

It's said that fishes are bigger over there :biggrin: .

So, Alabama and South Carolina towns would look very similar, I understand?

Actually, a lot of small towns in America look similar.

Boy, isn't that the truth Cameljockey. And yet each is somehow different. :smile:

Nice pictures, everyone. I'd post pictures of my town, but the only interesting sites are the Air Force Museum and a replica of the Wright Bicycle shop. Well, here's a pic of downtown...

 

 

 

and the Art Institute, which has the original "Water Lillies" by Van Gogh, among others

Are you sure that isn't Water Lilies by Claude Monet?

D'oh, of course, you are right! Shows I haven't been to the museum for awhile and that I don't know much about art! Sorry! :swoon::oops:

I feel quite provincial posting these pics of such humble surroundings. They can't hold a candle, of course, to some other offerings posted by our more urbane, sophisticated pilots, but I figure if the Wright Brothers could fly out of a cow pasture, it's good enough for me. The lack of neon is offset by copious amounts of lobster [the Atlantic Ocean is just a mile down the road.] and the beer is first-rate; a micro-brewery is just a mile down the road. (but in the other direction.) I'll have to admit, there is some suburban sprawl about a half-mile out of the camera frame, but if you know the right roads, most of it can be avoided.
