    Thumbs up Virtual Travelog: Show us sights from around your town.

    I posted a link to a bunch of pics showing my hometown from above on a coupla trails. I thought it might be fun to have a thread where fretters could post links to pics showing the sights from around where you live. For instance, I would love to see some of those FLA sights, or some scenes from Sweden or the UK, or Canadia where those Canadians live.

    In deference to the fret servers, if you are going to post more than a couple pics, (like I did), please post a link to an off site album. So I'll go first, here is my town:

    Hailey from Quigley Hill, if you size the photos with the slider on the lower right so they show 3 across, you get the panorama in the first three.
    http://gallery.me.com/sunvalleylaw#100069

    Hailey from Carbonate, if you size so they are 4 across, you get the panorama this way. You can see from the airport in the south, looking then across town east, and around up toward the north and SV/Ketchum area.

    Nothing overly stands out in my town like the pics you've posted Steve, but I tried to dig something up. This little covered bridge is close to my house in a park the town recently created after buying the property from a family that operated it as a very popular tourist attraction. Other than people walking dogs, it doesn't get much use in the winter. I like to go x-country skiing here, and use the trails that link it to a conservation area just a bit north. I took my son here for his first night hike this past winter which he thought was cool. He's got his own little headlamp, and hiking pole :

    Did you get that flashing well secured on the summer cottage David?

    Re: the bridge, well, I think that is very noteworthy! I love trees, leaves and wooden structures like covered bridges. Looks like a great place to XCski. Also, I have enjoyed your canoeing pics that are not right in your town, but still somewhere in your area?

    For anyone else, pics of some local clubs, the beach, a cityscape, whatever. That is what I find interesting, just visuals of where people live and play.

    Well, Gainesville is fairly flat with the occasional small hill here and there. No scenic mountains or beaches.

    We do have lakes, like Lake Alice on the UF campus, which is full of gators. And I don't mean UF students.



    Across the street from Lake Alice is the UF Bat House. Every dusk, thousands of bats come out and fly in a huge concentric swirl into the evening sky.



    Up in the northwest part of town is Devil's Millhopper, a large natural sink. Back before it was protected and had a walkway built to get to the bottom, Tom Petty used to ditch high school and smoke pot there:

    Here in Camrose, we have a nice little lake/pond that I often run around. This is what it looks like.

    See also a Photo Gallery of Camrose.

    Downtown Tampa







    Historic Ybor City (The hub of the cigar world)





    I wanted to find a better picture of this door at this restaurant. The handles are two halves of a large metal sculpture of a bee that was made by a friend of mine.

    And of course, a Tampa sunset...

    Nice guys! That is what I was looking for! Looks like a wonderful place to run Robert! Brian, some of your pics did not work, but I am interested in them. R_of_G, thanks! I have never had any mental picture of Tampa at all. Now I do! : :

    That's the highlight reel without all the boring stuff in between.

    Seriously though, it is a city with its photogenic parts and it's slowly becoming more cosmopolitan, though it still has major strides to make as far as developing a local arts and culture scene.

    Oops, looks like those sites blocked hotlinks.

    Here's a couple pictures of the Devil's Millhopper, which is probably 3 or 4 miles from my office:





    Iirc it's about 120 feet deep.

    Nice. I've been there many times. If you play in Tampa again let me know. I'd love to see Crash Pad in action.

    Most of the canoeing I do is within a three hour drive from me. This is a nice interior park near Parry Sound Ontario, on Georgian Bay. I'm hoping to head up Sunday for a couple of days.... Daughter is in exams right now, and taking the the little guy with the early bug fest might prove too much for him so I'm going to head in solo for a couple of nights. I need some time to just get into the ourdoors and relax.

    Beautiful Lexington, KY:

    The park seen below is full of life-size statues of horses, including a scene depicting a horse race coming down the homestretch.



    I pass this castle on my way to work every morning. Its on the county line, tehnically in the next county over.

    This is Calumet Thouroughbred Farm. For my money, one of the prettiest of the horse farms, although it sits almost IN town:

    Nice Tynee! I would love to head down there sometime, hopefully with a dreadnought in the car. I would be inspired to be working on my bluegrass I would think.
