Thread: Photos of the world - Your city, your town, your photos!

I have seen a few photos that people have took of there cities and i thought, why not start a thread dedicated to that!

It would be a great chance to see the different places and different cultures where we all live, and not to mention there are some very very good photographers on SRP!

I only received my (semi SLR) camera a few weeks ago and have managed to take some.. Well, amateur photos from it so i thought i would start it off and would love to see your shots!

Springfeld, Ma. Looks better up here!

Coming out of Central Park NY

My home City is London, however I'm in my 5th year in Doha, so this is my current home.

First up is the West bay area of Doha viewed from the Corniche, the business area of Doha.

I've also included some pictures from an area 20-50 km, South of Doha in an area known as Khor Al Udeid (Inland Sea) it's on the border with Saudi Arabia. This is where we camp most weekends during the winter months.

After seeing this thread, I became excited to show you my city. I went to the photo section of my computer. I'm not so excited now; I have literally thousands of photos (digitized over the years) from Southeast Asia to Europe and many places that I have traveled in my country.
I have no photos of my city, South Florida, Miami. I have lived here most all of my life. I love my city. This must say something, having no photos of the place that has given me everything; something not so good.

Maybe I should slow the hell down and enjoy what's around me.

I will go out and in a few weeks contribute some photos of my city.

These photos are of Miami. They are over twenty years old and they are all I've got on the PC. I took some and I'm in others. Not exactly 'panoramic' views but you may recognize some of the background.

Thanks Jimmy,
I recognize the Fountainbleu curve.
Is that you sitting on that steel beam?

The guy sitting on the column was an ironworker out of Pittsburgh. He is waiting for the crane to bring the girder to him and I took the photo. Also took the one of the connector climbing the column. That is on Biscayne Blvd side. I am in a blue shirt, standing holding a choker, getting ready to cut the rig loose, in the top left photo. That was on 37th ave and W.Flagler. The other photos are all downtown Miami back 25 years ago or more. The one where I'm walking an I-beam wearing a pair of leather welding sleeves shows the old Miami Public Library and Biscayne Bay in the background. That curve you mentioned shows where I-95 exited out to downtown.
