Places we live ...

Just outside of Denver, Colorado
Mile high city





Man there is no air up here!

 

Strap yourselves down, Goreon will show you paradize;):D

Home sweet home. There is so much beauty in one country like SA, there just is no space in this entire forum to post it here LOL I hope Goreon shows the Jakaranda city in full bloom. My city of birth:)​

 

Joburg South Africa is where I live, but Joburg itself is pretty boring, just the place where everyone works and makes a living, all the nice places are out of the cities ;)



Pretoria



Cape Town



But few hours drive out of Joburg you would definitely want to get to Kruger National Park and see "The Big Five":



There are other private reserves \ lodges \ parks you can visit where you can ride elepahts and horses (between the wild animals) or go to sanctuaries etc and play with lion cubs. Really really awesome :)

Take a drive along the Garden Route for some spectacular scenery





Go take a leap off the World's Highest Commericial Bungy Jump in a place called Bloukrans...



Damn, the list goes on and on... so many places and things to do

 

Proudly South African, i live in Europe, but this is pretoria and my birthplace.


one of the few unique places in the world.

I once drove through this city in full bloom with an American tourist friend. He looked around thinking genuinly that he ingested LSD without knowing. LOL, was funeh tho. Goreons pics makes me long back to Knysna and fresh oysters LOL beautifull there.

luckilly as a south african, I can go here, in Holland to obtain boerewors, pap, koeksusters, biltong, chillibites, ouma rusks, ms. balls, etc. For me a long drive, but worth it.

 

Nice thread!
I live in Germany again now, between Frankfurt and Darmstadt, Ill dig up some pics later :)


Here is Frankfurt am Main


and Darmstadt

 

LOL small world, i`ve been to Darmstadt, years ago I had a gf , Isabel Severing, from Darmstadt. We met in SA and lived together in Ireland Dublin. Visited one X-mass in Darmstadt for a few weeks.

 

hi!
i`m living in the middle of europe in vienna. its a very nice city but in winter times i`d rather be in south africa to let the sun shine on my belly ;)

just google for vienna and you`ll find so many nice pictures.

nice greetings!

i live in London. there are literally too many things to list. the view down the river at night can be brillant, espeically east bound with the contrast of Tower Bridge and Canary Wharf in the background. off the beaten track fav would be Borough Market. theres also an oddity of a Sherman tank painted pink just off the Old Kent Road (though its no tourist spot, but its 15 walk from Tower Bridge if you are ever in town).

 

I live pretty much right in the middle of Wales, half way up a mountain. As I sit at my computer this is my view.



Feel free to check out a few more pics at my sorely neglected gallery.

I live in the sunny, idyllic, and beautiful area of Greater Manchester, England. Home to the most beautiful countryside in the UK not. It is, however, home to 2.56 million people, and the third most populous area in England.​

It is also home to the greatest football club that ever existed. Now, I know most of you are probably thinking of the rags err, Manchester United, but Man U can suck my overly-large manhood. No, the team I talk about gods own club Manchester City.

The night life is awesome, lots of clubs and bars for pretty much anybody. It's a good night out.​

Ah yes, the Jacarandas :)

I miss then in full bloom in Harare, Montague Avenue would literally be a tunnel of purple where the trees had met each other above the road and their flowers were dropping onto the road as well.

Not found an image to do it justice - but here are the trees back in 1975 before they had met.

Zimbabwe has rather a lot of wonderful photo opportunities.

Now I live in Wales with views very similar to Xentrics :)

 

Snowdonia in North Wales




The view from my window 2 weeks ago during floods



And the village under water ( Not fun for the peeps who have their houses flooded, but thats what happens when you biuld a village on a flood plain)

 

I added some pics in my post!

Nice Story from Darmstadt

Lykke, Vienna is a MUST see
The whole city is just lovely, there is so much to see its hard to mention just a bit , but ofc the Hofburg is a place to be visited! In Januar/Februar its Ballroom Dance Season and they have these marvelous Ballroom Dances in there.. its awesome.

 

pfuuuh, there are so many nice places. the rathaus with its christkindlmarkt in nov. and dez., the hofburg, the burgtheater, opera house, st. stephens cathedral, belvedere, schnbrunn, museumsquartier... and all the other nice old buildings.

in summer its definitely the strandbar (beachbar) herrmann from april to end of sept. coolest place to hang out when its warm outside. btw, i`m working there so tell me if you should go there and i can manage some nice cocktails for you and your company.

and for the clubs... flex, fluc, pratersauna (also a cool place in summer with a pool in the middle of the location), passage, ost club, planetarium, etc...

if you need a tourist guide don`t hasitate to ask. this offer is also for all the other people here.

 

aye, that be the beast.
