Where do you live?

Corkscrew · 01-05-2007

Do you have a photo of your general neighborhood? We live in the building in the middle at the river's edge; with the swimming pool on the immediate right.

i'll get a picture up of my area and I will say now, that I am the complete opposite of you, im a rural dweller unlike your urban area.

This is where I live.

Corkscrew, those green and brown things are trees and fields - if you do a search on the internet, it will explain what they are

..will take a few more years, but, Bankok, here we come.....

mtiede · 01-05-2007

Here is where I am. It is a rural area as the island didn't have bridges until 1935 and 1950. The drab area around the house is all the trees in the woods after they lost their leaves.

You guys live in great places. Many years ago I also lived in a wonderful buc

ic place: Wateringbury in Kent.

Now we look at this from our window.

N4PWJ · 01-05-2007

This is where I live, but my house is just out of the picture on the left.
don't let the sunny picture fool you as it's normally raining and grey in Ireland.
The tower is scrabo tower just outside belfast in a town called newtownards.

This is my neighborhood covered with snow from the first blizzard.

The second blizzard isn't as bad and we are expecting another one today, I'm ready for summer.

I like your view, Corkscrew.

Viewed from the top my house looks like a bunch of trees. It's very private. It's between the golf courses in Miami Beach, 4 blocks from Lincoln Road in South Beach.

Also you can see a little bit of the house from when they shot the Freddy Jackson video here:

Don't have any good pics of my place and the sat image is very very low res.

But basically imagine looking out of every window and seeing nothing but field and thats about it and the house well it looks like a house

mtiede · 01-05-2007

Here is a picture of a bit of the front of the house, a sunset looking down the street, a fall picture looking out back from the deck, and a winter picture looking from the deck (with some deer in there. the dark horizontal streaks are parts of the creek).

(my guess is this thread should have been in the "off topic" section

)

Dan, I just used Google Earth as I was reading the thread for my pic. Download it, install it and put your address in.

Here are some pics I found of the house when it was Pink and we ran the bed and breakfast. Now it's "Bauhaus Buff" or light beige, but I will be painting it a Sage Green color.

I really need to get a picture that shows the whole front, but may need some sort of special lens, as the house is sprawling. If any of you have a big family and want a house around 7,000 sq. feet on the beach, make an offer! I need a 2 bedroom house with an 8 car garage, not an 8 bedroom house with a 2 car garage.

PS: The bottom picture was when it was first painted. You paint 'em loaded, because in 6 months or less, they look like this top picture, taken 4 months after. The sun here fades paint fast!

Love the snow and dear one!

mtiede · 01-06-2007

Don't have a picture, but on that deck we've had a number of birds at the feeder, raccoons, mice in the grill (they ate half of a plastic knob!), turkeys, and a red fox. I suspect the fox was looking for those mice...

Saw a mink down by the creek once.

The deck is about 10 feet off the ground and I was shocked to see the fox. He pranced around looking like he was looking for something then stopped and looked through the glass sliding doors right at us. Wish I had a camera for that one.

Maybe I should get a motion detector triggered camera out there
