I thought it would be interesting if folks could post photos they have taken of where they are from. Maybe something of interest or unusual or just beautiful. There are so many folks from all over the world that I think this could really be neat.
My Photo is of Ranger lakes. It is in the State Forest area west of Ft. Collins Colorado in the Rocky Mountains:

Can't really find any great images, but one of my favorite places on earth is the Woolaroc museum. It's north of Bartlesville, OK. The painting above is on display there. It was Frank Phillips (of Phillips Petroleum) get-away place. He and his wife a buried there. It is also an expansive wildlife preserve:

The main museum building:

Home Sweet Home. Harvesting future beer. Ok, proabably bread, but maybe a good wheat beer.

This is a picture of Four Peaks outside of Phoenix from last March. There is a brewery in Tempe named after it.

If it's near Tucson DB, I HAVE to see that when I'm down there next visiting my mom in SV. Is it like that only during monsoon or is it year round?

Ize

(And no, no idea what it's called.)
 
Nothing in Atlanta worth taking pictures of, surrounded by Pine trees, that's why I love it out West. Got plenty of pictures from there..
 
Here's a picture of the tallgrass prairie of the Flint Hills region of Kansas. This is from the Konza Prairie preserve, a few miles from my house.

People (including me, when I moved here), are often very surpised to learn that there is a part of Kansas that is very hilly. Because it is crappy crop land (hilly, rocky), much of the Flint Hills area looks pretty-much like what it has alwasy looked like.

Nothing set in stone yet. Was targeting this coming summer but with SWMBO's job change nothing is for certain, but when I do I'll make sure I give you a shout.

Not surprised, there's nothing to show you from this part of Illinois. Unless you're into looking at winter wheat, empty fields, or dead prairie grass....


Now that's some excitin' stuff! :(

Ya, it was a stretch for me to do the Chicago skyline seeing that it's a 30 minute ride from my house with no traffic, but there isn't much picture worthy. My area consists of corn fields and subdivisions that used to be corn fields.

What can you tell us about this place?

Man, you are bringing back serious memories there. I climbed every single one of those. The best one there that I climbed was I think a place called Humphrey's Peak up near Jerome, AZ.

Phoenix is such a beautiful city.

I'd post a shot of Wy east (Mt. Hood), but I've never had the camera along when you could actually see it.
 
Now this page is going to load even slower:

I used to live closer to Boston. Here is a nice sunrise skyline shot for which I even calculated the day when I could take it and got up real early:
2249-Boston_skyline_sun_rise_4.jpg


This is a panorama of the boston metro area:
2249-Mt.Auburn_Cemetry_panorama.jpg


And this is a panorama of the White Mountains in NH where I used to go much more often:
2249-South_Twin_Mtn_panorama.jpg


P.S. Looks like pictures are reduced in size when uploaded to the Gallery :(

Great photos, Kai! hmm, to me that look like you must have been in the Somerville/Medford/Arlington area to get that specific view. Then again, maybe you were up in Burlington with a kick aZZ lens!!!
