I thought it would be cool to start an appreciation/photography thread for the places where we live.
Theres so much beauty all around us that goes unnoticed everyday, why not capture and share it all :D

I'm sure everyone has there favorite places around where they live, be it the forest, the beach, the city, the farmland, wherever.

Here are some quick shot's (I need to get a real camera :|) I've taken recently from some awesome places around my beachy little city in Northern California.

Thanks!

I know the last two show the true highlights of my life – cruisin' with the pup and blazing the finest of fine :D
 
Ooooohhhhhh I REALLLLY like this thread idea!!
I am a photo whore and I LOVE where I live so expect MANY MANY photos from me :)
 
Sweet! I bet I can match you :D

I spend so much time wandering around aimlessly dreaming... I really need to get a good camera though right now I'm confined to me cell-phone camera (though its a good one for a cell phone, 3 mega pixels and a decent auto focus).

You're right across the bay from me, I recognize a lot of those places. :)
 
^ Yes! I love finding local(ish) bluelighters.

Take some pictures of your side of the bay, fizzle :D

Ahhh great thread :D I was awaiting for Ocean's amazing additions. <3

Awesome pics ektamine!

I'll try to add to this over the weekend :) Not that i live in such an amazing place as you guys, so they wont be as glamorous.... but i'll do my best :)
 
So many beautiful photos <3 I would dearly love to visit your part of the world, Ocean xo

Here are a few from my neck of the woods - both coastal and country.

Beautiful shots Samadhi – I want to visit! :D

The river in front of my house has been carving up some really cool patterns in the beach recently... Makes for some cool swimming holes :D

And of course, the excellent mountain biking trails!

Todays mission -

1. Acquire non-cell phone camera
2. Smoke liberal amounts of NDTISO (hint: its green)
3. Snap at least 3 quality shots

Wish me luck ;)

Nice one(s) NationOfThizzlam!

Damnit! My Camera broke (froze) after 3 shots!! I can't even get the 3 off of it :!
 
Thanks man :)
I'm obsessed with clouds, sunsets, I mean actually I'm obsessed with the sky in general.
 
Thank you ektamine! <3 Your shots are stunning - where are you in the world? I absolutely love the north coast shot with the most excellent car in the foreground.
