Pretty simply, just post a good pic from your home town. Doesn't have to be one you took. There's lots of beautiful towns out there and I know some of you are from them, show us a picture that displays that beauty! If you don't live in your home town post one of where you are now too! This should be fun and help people find places to travel they may never have thought of!

Here's a picture of St. John's Cemenary just down the street from my house. It sits on hill and when walking around it casts like a castle over its hamlet.

Grew up on the Jersey Shore in Long Branch, which I wouldn't trade for anywhere, if it weren't for winter.

Never planned on it, but have been in Orlando the last 20 years, and would trade it for a lot of places, if someone would transfer me somewhere warm with good schools for my daughter and pay me a lot of money. Not that bad of a place, just a bit plastic for my liking and too far from the beach.
All my offers have been for St this or that, somewhere in the Carribbean, which would turn me into an alcoholic in no time.

I did give this place some serious consideration 2 years ago... (Frenchman's Reef, St Thomas)

I was too young to own a camera at that point, Andrew, but the pictures are still vivid in my mind. Luckily, I don't live there anymore. :)
