I don't have any of my current one; I'll start with my room here though:



view from the outside:





And then a few recent pictures of locations from my past life in Russia:


2nd floor on the left is the actual place (maternity ward) where I was born
(I always also like to point out that this building is rather correctly modeled in IL-2: Forgotten Battles :p)


The first view out the windows I remember (I lived here between ages 1 and 5)

My kindergarten and my school:



Turrets from the cruiser Kirov, at which I played as a kid all the time :p


And me sipping Kvas in my grandparents' tiny derelict kitchen

Wow, that little table brings back memories. I stayed in a flat in Moscow, the small kitchen had the same 2-person table.

This strays from the topic, a little, but since we're talking about Mother Russia... me in Red Square, Sept 28, 1993, about 4 days before Khasbulatov and Rutskoy tried to stage a coup against Yeltsin. Tanks in the streets... ah, memories

I'm currently between homes, but let's see what's left in my Photobucket

This is my home town in Ireland, I live at the foot of the mountain this picture was taken from. The border with Britain is about half a mile behind me.


For the last year I've been living in Boston, this was the view from my window. The tracks are from the busiest light rail line in the country, and there was a fire station around the corner. Thankfully I'm slightly insomniac, otherwise.....


The reservoir was beautiful around 5am



Normally, I'm in college in a small town outside Dublin, this year I studied in Boston. From this



To this


Right now I'm staying with friends before flying home, basically stretching my visa until my savings run out . It's nice here


In three weeks I move back to my parents house in Ireland, to start job-hunting. Moving out as soon as I can, then final year.
Here it is in the snow.

This is the view from ouside my front door, I'm going to make sure the next house I live in is closer to a pub.



And there's a castle just across the brook:

Some more from in and around town where I live:

The walls of this castle have seen among others Patton, Eisenhower (1945)
and Erich Honecker (SED party chief 1971-89) as guests.
When arriving in April 1945 the US-Army was hoping to find Hitler here (but he was not there at that time).
In the year 2003 the Ordo Militaris Teutonicus e.V. symbolical conquered the Burg
and declared it to the home castle of the order.



Another of the many castles in this area.


In the wooded hills near my home. Thuringian Forest (mountain chain) in the far background.


Old city gate. My town was first mentioned in 704 A.D. and is the oldest in Thuringia (whole
East Germany actually)



Church with romanic and gothic features in the same building.


From the place of this house the plague broke out in 1625, killing 1265 people.


City Town Hall

I'm not sure, but I think Neal may have been a hippie sympathizer in his past.

I don't have a single pic of the exterior of my house. Probably because it's a drab and ugly pre-war apartment building in NYC. Nonetheless, I will try to get one tomorrow.

looks like a nice place, Kapitan.

Camaero, I lived in SoCal for a few years, those pics brought back memories


The mountains west of my house, on a summer evening. View from the back garden

I have no pictures of my house (if I did I probably wouldn't show you creepy internet stalkers) but here's a picture of a bug I took in my backyard on Wednesday.
