Beautiful, and very
Beautiful, and very interesting! Thanks for posting! It tells me so much about your sense of history and community that you count your population in families, rather than cold census statistics!

I'll just post my Google Maps
I'll just post my Google Maps overheard image: https://www.google.com/maps/@33.0867306,-82.0133747,6726m/data=!3m1!1e3?hl=en. Click on the "Earth" view to see the natural satellite image of the area. There's not much to see in my semi-small Georgia hick town. Nothing like the beauty of European cities and town.
I had to dig for it, but here
I had to dig for it, but here's a photo I took a couple years ago of where I live, Calgary, Canada:
I should specify that where I took the photo from is still inside the city limits. Our footprint is the size of New York City, but we've only got about a million people. So, a LOT of sprawl. Out here in the prairies, there's so much space I think it's hard to say "no" to the housing developers who have no natural barriers to expansion.
The park where I took the photo is an entire area of preserved prairie grassland. They basically put a fence around a giant hill, and surrounded it with more city. Here's another shot at this park:
It's huge and in most places you can't even see you're surrounded by city. A nice peaceful oasis away from the traffic.
Do you get much wildlife in
Do you get much wildlife in grasslands like that?
Some deer call the park area
Some deer call the park area home, and coyotes. Mostly smaller animals though, like mice, hares, gophers and voles, that are sheltered by the long grass. Lots of small birds, and birds of prey. I've read that there are porcupines.
We occasionally have a moose or bear wander downriver from the Rocky Mountains to check out the city life, but deer are all I've personally spotted in the prairie outside the city.
Ok tomorrow I'm going to have to post pics of my hometown in the mountains. ;)
That's really cool, I never
That's really cool, I never knew Calgary had such a big piece of nature inside the city.
Thanks pell_mell, very nice

Great pics, Richard. I never
Great pics, Richard. I never knew Rotterdam was so nice. I've been there loads of times through the years but only the ferry port.
Looking at the pics of your office on the site you've linked to, that has to be one of the most clean and tidy offices I've ever seen. You must work your cleaners like slaves.
All that's needed now is for you to set up a streaming webcam so we can look over your shoulders as you work ;)

Winter Palace". Nowadays one largest museums of St. Petersburg. The huge number of halls on which it is possible to wander seems eternally.

Nice pictures! Cool to see
Nice pictures! Cool to see such a recognizable shape of fort. We call those star-forts and we (the dutch) used to build those a lot back when we were still conquering the east =p
A big star fort is actually part of our nations water-defenses, you can read a little about those here
The tsar "Peter I" often
The tsar "Peter I" often happened in Holland and loved it. Fortresses are very similar... not surprisingly: ) In the same place in Holland it was drawn often by various artists. Part of authors of pictures and remained unknown still.
how do i add photos??
I also live in Holland near a star-fort called Bourtange.
i didnt know how to add photos so i made a video.
Sorry for bad quality i had to record it from windows media player because my video editor was not working :P

Greetings from Neusiedl am See in Austria. As you can see from the picture (google pic of the lighthouse in Podersdorf) I live on a big lake, but no diving here as it is only about 5ft deep!
EDIT: I am apparently too lame to get this to show up as a picture!
I fixed it for you, nice
