A scene from your neighborhood

[JohnSW]

I live in the suburbs, but here is a popular view of the city of Minneapolis. The giant spoon is in the sculpture garden of the Walker Art Center. The sculptor is Claes Oldenburg.

Is this a great country or what?

Scene From My Neighborhood

This is the view from my front porch/yard in the late Spring. Snow melt pattern in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of So Colorado. We call it The Old Buck. It doesn't look like that today, it is snowing sideways and I can't see across the yard, and on days like this I wonder why I keep horses around here that have to be fed.

When you think of Memphis The Mississippi River has to be one of the first things that come to mind.

Just after sunset, just south of Memphis.



The 2011 flood. It got within 6 inches of the record, 14 feet above floodstage.



This is the bridge the terrorist want to blow up, you might have heard the story a few weeks ago, The Memphis-Arkansas Bridge. This bridge was opened in 1949. They had a lot of steel left over from WWII. They didn't skimp or cut corners on it. A couple of terrorist car bombs wouldn't scratch it.



What I wish my street would look like tomorrow morning. This is going east



What it will probably look like. This is going west.

My play grounds. Notice the lovely brown hue of the river. It looks better in summer when the fish are floating belly up. Looks like hot cocoa with marshmallows.

When we get rain this is what my pond looks like...not as grand as some of the other photos, but my small piece of the dream

Tom, I spent '73 to '75 stationed at Shaw. Nice area with good hunting and fishing. I think I left part of my liver there. If you find it, leave it. It never even sent me a postcard.

I live a 3 minute walk from the beach, but a 10 minute drive put me right here, which is one of my favorite places. I shot this about 8 hours ago!

It seemed more interesting than main street!

The Seattle I grew up in (I remember taking a Scout trip to visit the construction of the Space Needle)

And what it looks like now (the Space Needle is hidden in the middle right of the picture. I like the old view better.

I have been there a few times. I have a friend who runs an auto repair shop near the base. Nice town.

I'm not a city person.. I don't like to be around a lot people and the fast life. And I'd rather have the earth below my feet.

Just to sit on top of the mountain on an early October morn, drink coffee, and watch the mist rise from the valley is very entertaining to me... I guess most wouldn't enjoy that.. but I'm not "most people"!

Trout fishing on a cold mountain stream is a great thing in my life.. in my neighborhood I have many...

This is the type rush hour I like to be in...

Churches? We have many.. but my church isn't a building.

This is my church.. and I believe I could reach out and touch the face of God!

Best at ya!

its so nice to see pictures of days gone bye, such good memories. When I was in the military there were many PCS moves in which involved moving and storing our household good for several years while stationed overseas. I had hundreds of pictures that were lost during moves and while in storage. Memories of the homes we lived in, the kids growing up places that we will never see again. 20 years of military photos from everywhere from heaven to he@@..

A sunset looking across my back yard.

One of my neighbors.

Our meager holdings. About 65+ acres.

Here's the two Tacoma Narrows bridges with the Olympic Mountains under the clouds in the background. This is from a park around the corner.

That first one looks like you just took a pass with the brush hog. Pretty country.

The first one is coming down Cabbage, I-84 westbound near Pendleton, OR. Second is looking out over the water between Galveston and the rest of Texas.

 

[truckemup97]

Here's one out the front door. The snow is almost gone, except where the sun doesn't shine. There's a hawk in one of those trees that eats a tasty sparrow every once in a while. I walked out in the front yard a few weeks ago, and it was raining feathers. He was in our maple tree having a snack. We're about 1/4 mile from the Arkansas River, and there are about 2 1/2 square miles of "park" (think nature preserve) on Turkey Mountain on the other side of the river, so we see a little wildlife from time to time.

This basically sums up "the office" (NOTE: this is not my actual office building)

My neighborhood...for now

And what my girlfriend and I would like to retire to...in 34 years :/

Gettysburg, PA. However, we'll settle for Adams County or the surrounding areas.

Small world.

My neighborhood...for now

This photograph brings a smile to my face. I know this intersection well. It is still a nice safe neighborhood (compared to where I live now).


There is a bus loop where the huge tree is, just behind the old bank building (now an American Legion Post) on the right.

And Reiker's market on the left was and perhaps still is an old fashion market. We (my ex-wife and in laws) had our weekly order delivered from there every Saturday. I lived just up the Pike in Rockledge. I can just make out on the right the steeple of the church where we were married in 1978.

Good memories of a happier time.

Thanks for posting the picture.
