We all have a note in our avatar pertaining to our location......but a picture is better than a thousand words.....

I live here in Panama City on the Pacific Ocean, 10 miles from the Canal....:wavey:

That looks Sweet Gera. Looks like an exciting city and would love to live right where that shot is taken looking at Panama'a beautiful skyline!!

I am about 10 miles South of Seattle in the USA. About a 5 min. car trip from walking on the beach of the beutiful Puget sound. I did not take this shot but this sunset happens a lot on the sound. So nice

Despite swedish occupation, a 1945 era visit by allied bombers and 40 years of socialism, Wismar still manages to look quite old and peaceful.

We're in a place called Rowley Regis in the Middle of Middle England. Although the area isn't covered in the detritus of the iron foundries any more, it's still referred to as The Black Country and randomly you'll see reminders of its past such as chimneys no longer attached to factories/foundries or old Victorian buildings amongst the new build flats that no-one can afford any more and new build Aldi and Netto cheapomarkets.

One of the boss's pics on Flickr sums the area up...

Well, this from where I live. The statue to the left in the first picture is to commemorate the Flemish author Filip the Pillecyn - I personally find it rather funny that the town council wanted to commemorate a man who was sentenced for collaboration during WWII...

Hi,

The town is dominated by an 11<SUP>th</SUP> century Norman Castle perched on the top of a lime stone rock. It is in the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Ribble</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Valley</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> and as can be seen in the photo, is overlooked by Pendle Hill.
Clitheroe derives its name from a Viking settlement which was here originally.
One claim to fame is that Sir Frank Whittle did much of his early development work on his jet engine on the edge of the town. Unfortunately my wife was involved in selling the site, (She worked for an estate agent) which still had the test beds to a property developer, who subsequently bulldozed the whole lot down too build houses. Never let history stand in the way of a quick profit!

[Bjoern]

I was born in (East-)Berlin and spent the first eight years of my life there.

Right in the eye of the storm, so to say. We used to live 500 metres away from the first checkpoint that opened on 11/9/89 (Bornholmer Strasse); I witnessed an anti-StaSi demonstration somewhen during spring 1990 and the reunification on 10/3/90.

Sadly, I can't remember only fragments and I'm not really sure about whether I was out with my parents on that night in october. I can vaguely remember something about my parents dressing me up in a hurry and then some celebration outside on a big square (Alexanderplatz?).

Well, whatever. I used to love this city, but the whole Tempelhof and Palast der Republik thing made me lose much respect for its authorities.

I go back every once in a while on occasion and despite all the digging, demolishing and reconstructing going on there (Some places have changed big time over the years!), the whole "flair" is somehow still there.



Anna, wo genau wohnst du?

Gera, I want to thank you for starting this thread. I have always thought that one of the wonderful things about the internet was how people from all over the world are brought together.

Seeing all the interesting and sometimes exotic places SOH's live reinforces that belief. If memory serves me correctly, we represent every continent with the possible except of Asia. Guess, we need to recruit Asian flight simmers. :costumes: If I am wrong and missed someone from Asia who posted in this thread, I apologize for the slight. Please correct me. That will mean I have SOH friends on every continent of the world!

Peace be with you my friends,
La paix soit avec vous mes amis,
Frieden ist mit Ihnen meine Freunde,
Η ειρήνη είναι με σας οι φίλοι μου,
La pace è con voi i miei amici,
Мир с вами мои друзья,
La paz sea con usted mis amigos,
Mir s vama prijatelji moji,
Rauha teille ystävilleni,

I posted a picture of me earlier in my truck, where I often feel I live. Here are some pictures taken off the web from the noted Louisiana photographer C.C. Lockwood. They capture some of the beauty to be found in Louisiana.

Speyer is a nice city, but the most important thing there for us is of course the technical museum. :costumes:

I love Berlin too, I've been there twice and would love to go again (maybe next summmer). Would have to visit Gatow, but I'm very sad I've never flown to Tempelhof :frown:

Here's a little salute for Tempelhof
