(Photography) Why you love the place you live

^The hubby and i definitely will hun! <3 When we're at a stage where we can afford to get out and see more of the world, most definitely :D
 
Samadhi, whats the weather/climate like where you live?

It similar to here (CA, USA) although it looks a bit warmer, especially on the coast. I'd love to visit someday!
 
I'm in Melbourne, Victoria, so the weather can get BLOODY cold in winter, as the only thing between us an Antarctica is Tasmania ;) In saying that, Autumn is AMAZING, the weather can get really hot in Summer (high of 40 degrees C), no snow in the city, but it can snow at higher altitudes. The problem with Victorian beaches are that, especially south, while the water looks amazing, it's absolutely freezing, even in Summer. Some people may disagree, but i originally hail from Queensland where we have stunning beaches and the water is temperate.

I'm sure you would love Australia though :) Further north is sub-tropical, we have some of the most amazing beaches in the world, the centre is desert, rainforests, temperate forests... I really do love this country <3
 
^Awesome shots man. :)

Except I use a bike, so I can see more more more!

But yeah, I love living here. That last shot is literally ~500ft from my front door. I'm desperately trying to find work so I don't have to move.

^Too bad this place got robbed last year cuz the dude that owned it was sellin trees and dope out of it. Dumb mufucker reported it and ended up gettin busted with like 20 pounds of bud so it's closed now. Funny thing is it's not even 2 blocks from the Zone 1 Police Station on the same fuckin street.

ektamine, that last photo is so beautiful it's painful <3 I would cry happy tears if presented with a view like that.

Agree Keaton; this thread kicks SO much arse :D

South-East Victoria, The Great Ocean Road (it hugs most of the southern coastline of Victoria):

WOW!!! 8o

There might be some beautiful sunsets where I live... but, the water where you live is so much more beautiful!!! I can't get over that color... It reminds me of when I lived in the South Pacific (Western Samoa)

I would LOVE to ride my motorcycle (which I don't have any more :() along that coastal road, it looks gorgeous!

Speaking of Samoa... I'll try and dig up some of my pictures from when I lived there... now THAT is a beautiful country, inside and out ;)
 
Because sometimes, just sometimes, you manage to capture something like this.
