Where do you live and what does it look like?

I live in Vancouver, Canada, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but also one of the most expen$ive.

Here are a couple of my photos of beaches within a short walk of our house.

I live in Vancouver, Canada, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, but also one of the most expen$ive.

Wife & I love visiting Canada - been to BC several times, including Vancouver (some great food - ate at a wonderful Oriental seafood restaurant - ordered a fish steamed & a lobster, both were brought to the table LIVE before being cooked - now that is fresh!).

In August, we're goin' to Quebec for a week, mainly Quebec City & a resort on the St. Lawrence River - looking forward to that trip (probably has been a good 15+ years since our first trip to Quebec).

Some beautiful places here, too many city slickers though.

yes  but not all the time.

My family's summer house in Princess Islands off Istanbul is some type of a retreat for us. We try to go there once a year. It's not rural, but it sure is a big change from Manhattan There are no motor vehicles allowed on the island. Only carriages and bicycles.

HEre is a picture of the street of our house:


Another typical street:


A general view of the island showing how close to the city it is.

bwv 1080 & you Americans

I've had a few days in Houston- the smooth reflective facades on the buildings and their Hopperish unreality rather made me think that your Hollywood film-makers have solved the problem of fake buildings (if not along with of material life generally) on their sets not looking quite real by making the real thing not look quite real- so that unreality is now real...

I like American culture of course and a curious thing about it is the emergence out of your particular brand of heroic materialism, technology and also hidden lighting, of a mysterious and ghostly transcendence...

"heroic materialism" - I like that.  Think I'll go out on a buying spree and thump my chest like King Kong.

I forgot to even mention the town name Yeovil, England.

A street that almost manages to look as old as its builders hoped it would:


A more honest street:


A library trying and failing to justify itself architecturally:


Junction:


Gardens and older building complexes:


St. John's church, mercifully unmolested since 1400:


If only I could have found a reasonable photo of the hospital. It is a building that Stalin would be proud to rule from.

Edit. Oh, and a lovely oldschool cinema which is currently being converted into flats:

Here's where I live:




nice and homey, isn't it?

[greg]

sometimes i look outside and see this:



it only takes like 5 minutes to reach the lake, however i don't know how this world keeps on popping up, it isn't my true home, you see?

Yes and thanks to the proximity to Mexico, instead of mechanical lifts skiiers are carried to the top by porters.

I'll be honest......
