Tell us A Bit About Where You're From

[The Black Jester]

I absolutely love this description.  It is worthy of classic literature, and that is not a mere random compliment.

Thank you, TWC!

I'm Keri, and I'm new, having just posted an intro earlier today and am looking at all the fantastic photos people have posted of where they are from!  I am from Seattle, Washington - the Pacific Northwest of the U.S.  It's a cool state - the only one that has both a rainforest and a desert!  The city is on Puget Sound, an inlet on the Pacific Ocean.  Seattle is the home of Jimi Hendrix, Grunge, The Space Needle, Boeing and Microsoft.

Currently I live in a small town of about 6,000 people, about 80 minutes northeast of Seattle called Duvall.  It's all cows and veggies out here.  I have a little cabin in the woods in the foothills of the Cascade mountains.

I don't know how to post photos, but I'd like to if anyone has the time and inclination to teach me!

One more time... sorry for the previous mistake!  I'm new at all of this... Seattle, Wa - my home town

And where I live now - my community, Lake Margaret:

Keri, welcome! Those pictures are gorgeous! I have a couple friends who live very, very close to you, and they'd agree with your assessment of the area being full of cows and veggies. 

I really love the scene of the houses along the water, it reminds me of a small town I visited often when I was younger, my friend's back yard went down to a river (as of course did the yards of her neighbors). And the house you live in is so CUTE! I bet it's peaceful!

I'm in Ottawa Ontario right now, and there are a lot of gorgeous places here.

The sunset Skate on the Rideau Canal:



The Chateau Laurier hotel in springtime:



One more Parliament shot, in autumn:

We also have a giant spider statue-thingy!

Now that I love.

Now that I love.

Me too! It's right outside the art gallery downtown. I have a picture somewhere here of me hugging its leg. I'll have to look for it tomorrow, I think it's on the other computer.

BCE, I love your new avatar. 

[bisbell6]

Wow!  Those are some awesome shots of Ottawa.  Very nice, amicale!  Indeed, where I live is truly peaceful, and I feel lucky to be here.  I even really like the cows and veggies!

We also have a giant spider statue-thingy!

The dreadfully ugly minivan spoils it though... Is that a Toyota? Those lights look like I've seen them before...  ???

Why did they build the city there, didn't they notice the volcano?

[OldGit]

bisbell, your home area is lovely, as nice as I've ever seen.  I'm from Herefordshire, in the west of England, right up against the Welsh border.  I'll dig out some photos later - I can't access my Photobucket album for some reason.

Very nice! I think that if the word 'peaceful' could sum an image up, it would be the ones you posted.

My home:

Glass windows with no jail bars?  No need to shut oneself in as if being besieged by real and imagined thieves?
