Building off the success of the DP'er poetry thread, I thought I'd start a thread where people can place pictures they've taken.

If you don't have a place to upload them online, I've created a photobucket album that we can all use.

www.photobucket.com

The login is:

username: debatepoliticspics
password: debatepolitics

So go there, upload some cool pictures you've taken, and post them here. :2wave:
 
I'll start it off simple. Here's the two different places that I consider my "home":

And my three favorite non-family/friend things:

My 'eastern' hometown. The city of Tel Aviv looking westward towards the Mediterranean Sea.

My 'western' hometown of Naperville, Illinois. Founded in 1831, the town bloomed during the Civil War era. This city of 150,000 is bisected by the Dupage River and is located about 35 miles west of Chicago. It encompasses a picturesque rolling landscape area of approximately 35 sq. miles.

Naperville has a beautiful Riverwalk paralleling the DuPage River through the downtown area. Above is a portion of the Riverwalk leading to a covered wooden bridge which traverses the waterway.

Picture of one of Naperville's downtown streets. The buildings are Civil War era constructs which have all been restored and historically preserved. The sidewalks are all patterned paver bricks. The downtown area is bursting with art and antique shops, trendy designer boutiques, and outdoor cafe's.

Beautiful specimens Gardener! I have a rather large tract dedicated to flora and flowers. I love walking among them in the morning. Sigh. ThankQ for those gorgeous pics... they are much appreciated! :mrgreen:
 
Tash- That looks really nice, Tel Aviv looks absolutely gorgeous. And what brought you to Naperville? I'm assuming school?

It is indeed! My home is about ten minutes from the beach lol. With the sweltering heat and oppressive humidity of summertime, Tel Avivians have two choices... only come out at night or go somewhere else. I choose the latter and live in my Naperville home from May - December.

Naperville is only about ten minutes away from Fermilab which is my academic/science base in the United States. I purchased an empty one acre parcel of land there for my new home...

It is an extraordinary place to live. The U.S. Census Bureau called Naperville "the country's best place to be a kid" in 2004. In July of 2006, [url="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bplive/2006/]CNN/Money and Money Magazine[/url] ranked Naperville second on its list of the 100 best places to live in the United States.

Well this is not really a photography but I wanted to share it with you:
Video of grandplace - Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

During the summer they do it every night at 11pm. I think it's a part of the Ommegang because it sounds medieval!

(I hope it will work!)

Nah, those are actually just regular pictures from my pretty crappy camera. Just got lucky - that pic from my porch is probably my favorite picture ever.

And yea, Fang is smiling but Harry looks nervous, probably because a couple days before that Fang killed and ate Herbert, Harry's twin.:shock: :lol:
 
WOW star, that's absolutely gorgeous. Craaaazy mountain views.
 
And hatuey, that hallway picture is insane. Very cool. And I love the expression on that persons face in the last one.

It's a place called John'z Pizzeria it's on Bleeckler St. I think between 6th and 7th ave.

Oh **** Johns is amazing. I can't believe I didn't recognize it, I used to live about 400 yards from there, over on 7th ave and Leroy. Insaaaaaane.

You every try Lombardis? It was America's first real pizzeria, and its where John of John's got his start. Both amazing stuff.

Wow Oregon looks so well preserved from wild urbanisation. Looks like a big natural reserve! You're lucky!
And the Mount Hood seems famous. It's the highest mountain of Oregon or what?
