+RAF_Louvert Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 . 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! Lou Quote

+Dej Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 (edited) 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!

HomeBoy Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 ...Train station near my house ... 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! Quote

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 . Quote

Cameljockey Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 (edited) Here are some pics of my hometown of Hampton/Varnville, SC (Siamese towns) as "Greenbow, Alabama" in the movie Forrest Gump. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt...%3D342%26um%3D1 CJ Edited July 12, 2009 by Cameljockey Quote
+Olham Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 So, Alabama and South Carolina towns would look very similar, I understand? Quote
Cameljockey Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 (edited) Actually, a lot of small towns in America look similar. Edited July 12, 2009 by Cameljockey Quote
+RAF_Louvert Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 Boy, isn't that the truth Cameljockey. And yet each is somehow different. Cheers! Lou Quote
Herr Prop-Wasche Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 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 Quote

Edited July 13, 2009 by rabu Quote
Herr Prop-Wasche Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 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! Quote
Hauksbee Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 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. Quote
