My city and surrounding area (within an hours drive), Calgary, Alberta, Canada







(Who would have thought that Calgary would have the most skaters per capita in Canada? 60,000 in a city of 920,000. We've got public skateparks now to accomodate it)

There's an entire website that is just about professional photography of Calgary and the area that's pretty cool: www.viewcalgary.com

They've got a little pictorial tour of my university on there too: http://www.viewcalgary.com/peter/uofc/uofcFrames.html

This is the building I spend most of my time in (new computer buildings):

This is the classic pic of Portland, Oregon


One of our beautiful coast...


One of Multnomah Falls, just out of Portland...


And Mt. Hood, just an hour or so out of town...this pic is from a lake in the foothills...


I live in a very pretty place. Go away! Don't come here!

No kidding. It's just somewhat odd to me that the most conservative city in Canada has the highest per capita population of skaters in Canada.

If I ever live in San Francisco I think I am going to rent a gun and buy some bullets to shoot myself with it.

Sten: I am not stereotyping anything.

A city I would rather live in is Quito, Ecuador and that city was noisy, extremely polluted and ugly:



Most of the city is slums...

Also surprisingly I would rather live in Bogota, Colombia right now... it is actually a nice city despite the little problem in the jungles:

I used to visit San Francisco quite often. It really is a beautiful city. After a while though it got a little too wierd. I only go there now when I have to, which isn't very often. I don't remember what it was that finally turned me off to the place. I guess I just got bored with it. A friend lived there for years and he is very conservative and he loves it. I guess it grows on you or something. Maybe that is what I was afraid of...

Mono, stereotyping that bad is horrible... San Francisco is rather obvious. Look at Bogota, Colombia... now that is a nice city to my surprise:





Not bad at all... I always wanted to visit there...

...The second pictures shows a small forest/park (Vilnius is a very green city many trees are everywhere even in the city itself) and new buildings near horizon. Vilnius TV Tower, a highest structure in Lithuania and second highest in Baltic states (and third highest in eastern europe and (possibly) fourth highest in all Europe as far as I know), which is turned to highest christmas tree in the world each winter since 2000 is also being seeable.

Silly Fez, you never live IN a major urban city. You live in the suburbs.

Like San Ramon, CA which is 30 minutes from San Fran, 30 minutes from Oakland, and 30 minutes from San Jose. And it's a conservative stronghold, what with being the corporate hardquarters for ChevronTexaco and Bell and only having 40,000 people.

Wanna a bet? I lived right next to the small downtown in Quito... and I don't really live in the Suburbs in Buenos Aires...

Fez...it's a figure of speech. I was saying you should never live in a major urban city (American). Never live in Detroit, Chicago, San Francisco, etc. You live in the suburbs.

The suburbs of SanFran can be very, very conservative if you pick them right, and you still get the beauty of the region.
