Hows about you show us some personal pictures of your home?

Since so many of us here are scattered around the world, I thought it might be cool if we all posted some personal pictures of the area we live, and what we do there.

**edit** I just realized that I don't seem to take any pictures without cars in them... sorry.

This is the central coast of California, San Luis Obispo county, as I see it:









Yes, we love hot rods around here. Poor Europeans don't know what your missin!

Anyway, I would love to see pictures of where you all live, as well as the kind of things you do to have fun. Personal pictures only please. (I.E. not some generic picture grabbed off google.)

Don't know what you're missing? What you want is one of these:



That's my 1972 Land Rover parked outside my house in crappy old Cheshire, England, and below is what it looked like when I found it and bought it in Oxford:

You did a good job! Nice.

Yup, the upgraded suspension means it has unrivalled off-road capability, look:



Alright I admit it, that picture is not near my home

Wow they really mean it when they say those things can go anywhere!

Bit of a cheat this one, but since there is photo-realistic terrain of the UK in Flight Sim, here's my house:



The plane is flying roughly South. The road under the port elevator of the plane is the A6 main road south to London (185 miles away), Manchester is about 8 miles North along that road (i.e. out the bottom of the picture). The railway line under the starboard engine is the line to Manchester, if you go south on that line, it runs to Buxton (where you get the spring water from). West (i.e. off the plane's right wing is Manchester Airport (about 2 miles away) and about 35 miles past that is Liverpool. If you go off in the direction of the top left, you get to the Peak District and the Lake District is near to that. That's where the Dambusters practised for their WW2 raids, it's also where I go gliding and is also the place which inspired the William Wordsworth poem 'Daffodils' amongst other things. Almost directly right of the plane's nose, about two miles away, is Woodford Aerodrome, owned by British Aerospace. It's where they test fly stuff and make some bits for Airbus aeroplanes. If you watch the war movie '633 Squadron', Woodford is where they filmed the Mosquito fighter-bombers 'crashing', by taxying them across the grass at high speed and retracting their undercarriages (which they probably regret now, since there aren't any more airworthy ones!) Since there are two airfields nearby, aircraft industry places and the main city of Manchester all pretty near me, I imagine one of Mr Putin's MIRV warheads is probably aimed right at my house.
