Thread: Post some pictures of your city

I live in San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina. If you see the pictures, you will understand why the city is sometimes called "the garden of the country"...

Hamar is a town with about 15000 inhabitants, but is a trading senter for about 40000 I think.

The first picture is from our landmark, the speed skating hall that is built like a viking ship upside down. It was used under the winter olympics in 1994.



This is our second landmark. Ruins of a medieval church, destroied by the sweedes around 1650. Built into a large Glass house to preserve the ruins. This is a wonderful atmosfaeric concert arena also.



And we are the hometown of Kirsten Flagstad, the famous Vagner soprano.

very nice ruins!! and history!, that's the idea of this. we have such a diversity of nationalities in this forum, so we can learn about such distant and contrasting cities!!

A Day in the Life of Polednice (when he is at university, because his home town is in the middle of a rural craphole):

The entrance to my college (spot the unicorn).
The student accommodation I live in.
The view from my room.
The entrance to one of my college's libraries.
The old part of my college's library.
A part of the library we're actually allowed in.
'Front Quad', with dinner hall and chapel exteriors.
The dinner hall interior.
The Sheldonian Theatre exterior (our main concert hall).
The Sheldonian interior, feat. organ.

All images courtesy of the Virtual Tour of Oxford, which was basically Oxford's own little Google Street View a few years before. It gives you a bird's eye view of the city, and then you can click on hundreds of locations to zoom in, including the insides of some buildings.

of course, extremely nice, what can i say... you haven't seen this guy there?



the good old Roger Penrose, haha.

Sadly not! I do love a good scientist (/mathematician) though, and have met Marcus du Sautoy.

I reside in Lakeside, California. From Wikipedia:

Lakeside began when the land that it is on, near Lindo Lake, was purchased by the El Cajon Valley Land Company in 1886. It started as a resort town, based around the once renowned automobile race course at Lindo Lake that Barney Oldfield made famous in 1907.[2] It was once home to the historic Lakeside Hotel, a destination for health and relaxation reached by a long day's buggy ride or by train. It has long been known as a "cowboy town" and "rodeo town",due to the rural setting, the large percentage of ranches and the abundant horse ownership in the area. It is home to an 8-acre (32,000 m2) permanent rodeo facility known as Lakeside Rodeo Grounds.[3] The rodeo grounds is manned by a totally volunteer group and has been for over 47 years, with the intention to support the youth of Lakeside. Lakeside has been used for filming movies and television shows, including the TV series 'Renegade. Lakeside also contains two large reservoirs, El Capitan and San Vicente.

So, basically, Hogwarts.

Also, Marcus du Sautoy is awesome! (I only learned of his existence because I listened to his Desert Island Discs.)

Two pictures of my current pied a terre, Ottawa.

The Rideau Canal skateway - The Rideau Canal was commissioned by Qieen Victoria and is today a UNESCO World heritage site. The canal, in winter, is the World's longest maintained ice rink:



PArliament Hill, Canada's legislature and the Peace Tower.

I used to live in the most magnificent castle of all castles in this most magnificent world of all worlds of ours:

Thunder-ten-tronckh from Westphalia!


Due to a certain "experiment" though, I was kicked out of it. But, I'm absolutely sure that that happened for the best and most magnificent of all reasons.

I live in a college town.
