That road snaking through the highlands is beautiful.

Here is a view from the Southbank area of Melbourne. Across the river from the CBD

And here is a photo of my beloved arts precinct, I think this photo is a bit old

Wow, didn't realise Melbourne had such a high skyline.

yes we do, 26 buildings over 150m. But unfortunately there are no tall buildings being constructed. THere was a 600m tall tower proposed by Grocon but it was denied!

here you go canuck

This is Howth, a peninsula in North Dublin that offers fantastic views of Dublin Bay and the Wicklow mountains. This is one of the areas you get to live in Dublin if you have a lot of money. I was there a couple of weeks ago, walked 5 miles around the peninsula and took a LOT of pictures

This is Howth town which is a small fishing village but also has a large marina.


This is the Howth Lighthouse, looking out over Dublin Bay and the Wicklow Mountains to the South


One of many Martello towers in the area


You can see Dublin port here and the Poolbeg smokestacks

Nice pictures and I think you also got a UFO in that last pic

and great Bay of Fundy Pic cormiermax

my hometown is Thessaloniki, in Macedonia, northern Greece! It has a population of 1.5 million and a history of 2.300 years! It is the second largest city in Greece, after Athens (3.4 million), and it was the second biggest city in the following empires: Roman (not the second biggest, but very important), Byzantine ("the co-capital"), Ottoman, and was liberated in 1912! Thessaloniki was also an Olympic City in the Athens 2004 summer olympics. Some pictures:


The White Tower, the city's most famous landmark.


The city...


The metro map (not yet finished)


Aristotle Plaza (before renovation), the city's most famous plaza.


The seafront...



The Olympic Stadium


The kamara, or else Roman Arch. (the city also has a Rotunda, Walls and an Imperial Palace, all dating back to the Roman Empire and the Byzantine Empire)


The seafront (again)


Absolute Vodka Commercial about Thessaloniki


The Institute of Macedonian Studies building (with some Olympic Airlines commercials on it xD)


The Thessaloniki Concert Hall


Aristotle Plaza as it is decorated every Christmas (its really beautiful that time of the year!)

i ve been here last weekend. i ve missed so much this city. nice photos philly_boy

i know! Thessaloniki is such a beautiful city!!

BTW arent you from thessaloniki mitsos?

nope.

i was living there two years though. i was studying there

oh, cool. At Aristotle University?

no. at a private college and then in England

Cool! I wanna study in the States, but first i want to go to Makedonia University and study international relations...

cool wish you the best man.

very nice pictures of Thessaloniki(hope I spelled that right) and where in the States do you want to study(50 States and way too many Colleges/Universities to even attempt to name)? and better yet what do you want to study while over here?

yep, thessaloniki. It means victory (niki - u know it as "nike", the sports brand) against the Thessalians... actually the athenians tease the people from my city because (they say) we pronounced the letter "L" thicker than they do (which is partially correct) and they say that Thessaloniki is the only city spelled with two "S" and pronounced with two "L" lol

Hm, and I have not made my mind up yet - i will go to university there after i get my first degree here in Greece, probably at Macedonia University in Thessaloniki. I would like to study International Relations or Architecture... I havent made my mind up yet

Personally I live in a small satelite village 7 miles south of belfast but my school, work and realitives homes are all in belfast. About 285,000 people live in Belfast, which is the capital and largest city of Northern Ireland. Founded on the mouth of the Lagan River in 1613 by settlers from Britain, Belfast took its name from Beal Feirsde (Irish for "the mouth of the sandbank").
