Nobody's posted pics of good 'ol Ottawa yet...

this is about a 2 minute drive from my school (its to the right in Rockliffe Park, yes amongst what looks like a forest is a very nice subdivision...i don't live there just go to school)
(note the little airfield to the left )

this is downtown ottawa...i live 45 mins south of here (still ottawa though)
http://www.globalairphotos.com/large/ON/Ottawa/Downtown/2002/313/2

this gives you a view of more of the city, downtown in the north, and then it stretches south into the less densly populated areas

btw...i agree NYC is a VERY beatiful city, went there with my school for 4 days in November. (Manhattan)

[Astronuc]

This is the first place where I lived.

Apollo Bay, Victoria, Australia

Also try http://www.worldcityphotos.org/ for photos of cities around the world.

Totally ! How can anyone miss Detroit ? How Monique ? How ?

 

[loseyourname]

Seoul is the most populated city of the world, with more than 10 millions of persons living there.

Sao Paolo, Brazil is the most heavily populated city in the world. It's close to 14 million, I believe. Tokyo is the largest metro area.

 

[loseyourname]

Los Angeles

It's amazing how quickly these photos get old. No Bonaventure, no Library Tower, no Staples Center. Anyway, I don't seem to be able to find any photos of Santa Rosa, so here's San Francisco:

 

[Monique]

Totally ! How can anyone miss Detroit ? How Monique ? How ?

I do! I look at that picture and I wish I was there again, good times. Btw, That picture was taken from a campus building I lived at There's something to living in a ghostly city that Detroit can feel like, it makes going out adventurous

Dunno where this mysterious softball field came from, though! All that's there now is a giant mountain of dirt and a giant pit of not-dirt...

I was quite surprised to see what Tokyo actually looked like, I was expecting something like New York City:

Tokyo again, a much better picture:

I hven't had the luck of being in Paris, though my mother was in a trip and told me that the Senne smells badly like hell. I can't imagine what people throw in it

Here's Kansas City.

This is the Plaza Area.

Kansas City is known as the "City of Fountains".

I was quite surprised to see what Tokyo actually looked like, I was expecting something like New York City:

That actually looks rather similar to the Long Island City portion of Queens, although a little cleaner and newer.

My dear friend,

I was not accusing you of leeching: rather, I clicked on the link you provided and instead of the picture showing up, I only got the leeching warning message, so I posted the message to let everyone know that these links will not work any more.

And you are quite right, I am guilty of leeching, but I don't have any moral objections to that, at least not at this point in time.

Cheers!

I feel so sorry for anyone reading this thread who has dial up.

Paris, Oh La La
I hven't had the luck of being in Paris, though my mother was in a trip and told me that the Senne smells badly like hell.

I have been to Paris many times and i never had any bad smell-problems with la Seine...Paris is one of the most beautiful cities i have ever been to.

When I say New York City, I always ignore the ghettos and simply view Manhatten as the only part of the city. But of course, Manhatten has Harlem . . .
