***Pictures of where you live***
You don't have to say where it is (though if it's obvious, we'll figure it out), but I thought it would be cool for DUers to post pictures of where they live, or their environment, etc. I have some here:

http://www.maggister.com/biohomepictures.htm

So start posting pictures!!!

119. Oh, you have snow!
It looks like we won't get any snow this year. We haven't had much of a winter. Not that I like driving in it and all the cold, but it's weird we haven't had one. We still have a couple of weeks window of opportunity for snow, there's not much hope for it.

How much snow is that? Is it up to your window or just windblown on there?

170. It's on our windowsill
in the foreground, that's what's on the windowsill. We got about four inches.

That photo was taken from a third-floor bedroom, looking down onto our driveway.

Now, we're supposed to get another snowstorm (I hope, I hope) tomorrow night and Monday. I love the stuff, can't get enough.

86. I moved from NY ...
... back to Portsmouth, NH as a staunch Yankees fan in 1978. The Sox played the Yankees in the series that year, and I was an outcast! I'd cheer the Yankees on all by myself in a bar, and everyone would give me the hairy eyeball. But I didn't care! It got to be the local joke.

Good luck!

17. It's pretty cool
No one really gets that hot-headed- it isn't like the Sox/Yanks.
Some of the more elitist assholes of BC will chant "safety school" at you guys, so I appoligize for that in advance. That ain't cool wit me.
But other than that, enjoy the battle of the mascots. We all know a bloomin' Eagle could pick apart a tiny Terrier :hi:

day before they tore the other farmhouse on the property down and it was a working farm. Today it is an equine resort and it costs $300 per night to stay in the remaining farmhouse. But that is better than it being subdivided into thousands of houses....

108. Eastern TN is gorgeous!
My younger daughter was born in Cosby. We actually were renting a cabin from a woman in Chattanooga!

That cabin was up on a hill - you know, you drive up the holler along the creek, then the houses are all up on top of the ridges. The trees were so thick, though, you couldn't see far. But the electric storms were intense! It was scary.

Where do you live now?

177. ice! yuck!
let me tell you my tennessee story!

it was the winter of 93-94, the coldest for the southeast in something ridiculous like 40 years. in alaska, it was very warm, and in tn, it was cold cold cold.

in january, we could not keep this cabin warm. it was definitely a summer place (or a mild-winter-place!). so we went to a hotel in newport to wait out a storma and a cold snap. the interstate to kentucky was closed, so there were a lot of truckers there, too. the parking lot was covered in ice. when we went home three or four days later, the road was about a foot of frozen slush! i was quite pregnant with a 3 year old in tow, and i was scared shitless driving on this! i'd never seen ice like this before.

the power was out for about a week, and since we were in the very corner of the county, we got it turned on last.

i'd rather have three feet of snow than one iota of ice. it was a horrible winter!

but we had a great birth at home in that cabin in the beginning of april, so it was worth it to wait out the winter!

89. Orange, TX
I don't have any pictures online of where I am specifically, but here are a few pictures of my hometown off the net.





These two top pictures (prettier than most of what my hometown looks like, though if you get out into the country around here things look a little more like that) are from the famous Stark property (aka Shangri-la)- several acres in the middle of the city, preserved by a rich family for decades and not open to the public until just a couple years ago. I plead the fifth as to whether I ever went back there before it was ever opened to the public. :-)



That's the tourist bureau on the edge of town at the Texas stateline; we're right on the Louisiana border.



The copper dome on the top of the old Presbyterian church downtown was at one time copper-colored but is now completely green! I kinda like it, though. Supposedly, this was the first air-conditioned building west of the Mississippi River; but I'm not sure just how true that is.



City hall... looks like your average City Hall, I suppose.

120. A little slice of heaven
I grew up in the house just above the house to the right of where it reads "skypic.com". . .


At the end of my street is this lighthouse. . .


And a few other views from town. . .

go too the web site, right click on the picture, where it says copy image location , click it" copy image location'. then come back too post and put it in between the bar's next to your p on your key board, the right facing before then the left facing after. Paste the copy between them. I always use the bar's before and after the link.

215. I so want to see England
Many of my family came from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. In fact, I have an old violin that was purchased there by my great-great-great-grandfather around 1820.

Perhaps it's because of family history, but England, Ireland and Scotland have always been deeply fascinating to me.
