Lisboa, Portugal

Springfield Oregon. It's hard to find an "iconic" picture for this freeway town. This one has the river and the I-5, and you can just make out the big paper mill in the background. It's cloudy, so that's appropriate. No skyscrapers or amazing architecture here. The network of bike paths along this river is getting pretty good though!

Edinburgh (or just outside), enjoy Burns Night on the 25th

Fair fa’ your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftan o’ the puddin’-race!

local bridge

Many years ago I was a sailor on the USS Nimitz. We steamed into the bay and I was in my dress blues manning the rails. Unfortunately there was thick fog so we couldn't see anybody and nobody could see us. What a bummer! As I stared into the fog, I suddenly heard cheering. I looked up, and way above my head was a span of this bridge, floating in the fog, with a bunch of people waving an cheering! I was in awe and wonder at the sight, because the ship ain't small, and we were standing on the deck, way above the water. Yet there was that span of bridge floating much, much higher than us!

I'm in Blackpool, England

Though I haven't seen the illuminations or stepped on the beach for a few years.

I was brought up in Kirkham but moved south for work…

I'm roughly 4 miles from Red Rocks Amphitheater, Colorado - I hike around the area almost weekly. Snapped this picture from top several years ago. (Jimmy Herring of Widespread Panic doing sound check - not my photo)

It's funny when you sail under those bridges it is noisy as you approach then silent underneath, then noisy again. Kind of eery at night.

Son #1 worked for a couple of years just outside Dublin and on one trip to visit him we drove the Wild Atlantic Way from Westport to Kilkee. My word what a beautiful country.

Greetings to all from Bonn! Birthplace of Beethoven, to whom we owe the most beautiful music ever (even if he could no longer hear it in the end and would not have needed a DAC with SINAD > 120...).

Completely devastating for the HiFi economy because you get very tempted to take out the passport and spend money on a nice trip to the places shown in the thread.

Maybe we should start arranging exchange travels among the members and listen to each other’s systems.

I’m sure people would love to show them off!

Perhaps to help with my perceived underrepresentation …

and also home of the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra…

and their summer venue (live about 8 miles directly east of it)…
