Is that you holding the sparkler in the middle of the TD Centre Plaza at Bay and Yonge?

 

Indeed it is. Good eye. Well, I'm not holding a sparkler, I'm lighting a cigarette.

Seems an appropriate photo for Simtropolis

What are you working on?

It's just a printed region (using the Region Census tool to get the image). I then mark the roads (black = ordinary roads and avenues, red = highways) so I get a better overview, which helps me to construct the rest of the road network in my region. I find the aesthetics of my road network very important, so this is a great help for me

Whoa cool. I didn't know people did stuff like that. Seems like a good idea.

 

Here are some pics I took at a Taiko show a couple years ago.

he looks like he is less than 1 year, but he is actually 2 and a half

 

 

this is a very good lego photo my son took for his school's lego club

Some good stuff being posted here, keep it up!

 

@MillitantRadical: I especially like the one with you lighting it up under the towers (very dramatic angle) and the reflections by the harbour.

 

Here is yet another urban-ish pano from yours truly.  Click here to view it in full res on flickr.

 

[Easy Bakes 253]

very nice Jazz

[Jazzmaster 716]

Thanks EB.

 

Another from me...and please keep the stuff coming folks!  This has been a great thread so far!

MilitantRadical, taiko is so awesome, I love it.  In the place we used to live, the kodomo-no-kai (kids' club) practices during September to drum it up in the mountain-car thing they have for the harvest festival in October.  We moved this year, so I don't know if our new neighborhood has the same thing, but if they do we'll have one kid pounding away at the taiko this fall.

 

The pics in this thread are all pretty nice.

This is a picture I took two years ago while I was on a hiking trip.

View from Telstra Tower atop Black Mountain, Canberra taken in 1998. Suitable for this site for obvious reasons. Of course back then picture quality wasn't so awesome with good old film and cheap disposable cameras

This is a picture I took at Mount Titlis in June 2012.

 

[_marsh_ 1,118]

Cpt Johnny: Damn! I ant to go there. It looks amazing!

 

Mark Cochan: And yet people buy expensive cameras now and then throw things on instagram to replicate that same effect Neat pic though. It's cool how places change over just 15 or so years.

 

These are some more ones that I've taken recently. I like to think that my photography is improving, this is just going to take some time

 

 

 

 

And this was last week. A fire halfway across the state was in just the right wind path, it was like this for a few days every afternoon.

 

[AkemiAzula 280]

Well this is a more recent photograph so no cool Instagramesque feel. Took it today, actually. I rode from Emsworth to Petersfield and back in Hampshire. This is a picture of an interesting church I took in Clansfield.

the big question is were you going for the bird or the mountain?

Thanks Jazz, I love your panoramas. They remind me of some of the timelapses I've done.

Sweet, Thanks. I only just discovered a love for Taiko in the past few years. It comes from watching Battlestar Galactica, which uses a lot of Taiko in the soundtrack.

 

Now time for something a little different. This may not exactly be the right place for a video, but since this video I made has a lot of Time Lapse photography I figured I'd share it with you. Shot in Toronto and Hong Kong.

Interesting collage.  Toronto/Hong Kong?

[_marsh_ 1,118]

Awesome video, militant! I loved the bus rides, and especial;ly the night scenes (+ 1 for Digitalism, btw)

Thanks. Yup.

Glad you enjoyed the video and recognized the music. They are actually tram rides.

The women at 1.14, with their pram, it makes me think a bit of the iconic Eisenstein movie 'Battleship Potjomkin' (the famous scene with the stairs of Odessa). I know it's a bit ridiculous, but hey, free association Nice video from you!

 

(A short extract from the film: )

Some fantastic scenery there Ion_Cannon, be nice if you could put some place names to those photos.

[Ion_Cannon 677]

Updated my original post, I haven't managed to do that much travelling abroad, but I've been to most of the best bits of the UK numerous times.

[AkemiAzula 280]

Well if we are allowed to multi-post, here are a few I took.

Near Mount Victoria, Blue Mountains, taken in 2005

Wierd association, but I kind of get the connection you made. Thanks.

Holy crap, mega photo dump! Sweet Landscapes Ion_Cannon. Hard to pick out my favs from that bunch they are all really great. I think I'll go with the photo shot through the window, the one with the crow, and the waterfalls in the last pic.

Bravo, really.  First image has great framing, second one has a great sense of scale as well as leading lines and patterns.

 

 

EDIT: Here's one from myself on this stormy Monday evening:

 

 

And from a few weeks ago:

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

So I went to a rooftop bar in an inner neighbourhood of the city today.



Not a bad view to enjoy a few drinks from, eh?
