Here's a topic to show off your country in pictures. The idea is that you show different sides from your country, the more the better.

One rule: Don't post negative images without also posting positive ones.

First out:

Norway.

I'm gonna start in the south-west and move up the west coast before returning to the south east. One thing you'll notice is how the landscape changes, from the flat SW, to the fjords on the west coast, to flatter mountains further north to flat again way up north.

South west (Jaeren)


The fjords on the west coast


Bergen, the "capitol city" on the west coast


The "Lofoten Wall"


Northern Light "up north"


Oslo, the Capitol city


Ok, this selection makes Norway look like a country with a population of about a dozen and it's almost true. 4,6 million isn't enough to fill a train in other countries but that's how it is. The topography limits the possibilities as to where to found cities and the cold winters and poor underwear limits our reproductional abilities. Most people here live in or near the few larger cities/towns, or they wish they did The rest are scattered around in the rural districts. Not gonna write a whole lot more, these are just a few words.

So, what's your country like? Wanna share?

That's very nice. I intend to visit Norway this summer, so perhaps I'll get to experience it first hand.
My country is mostly flat and boring - one problem with that is that it's completely impossible to get any overview without taking to the skies.
Oh well, I'll start with some images of Frisia, where I was born, and Groningen, where I live at the moment.

Frisia (Fryslân/Friesland)


Medieval church in Burgum, the town where I was born.


And some random countryside nearby.


Typical Frisian vista.


Terschelling, one of the wadden-eilanden.


Waddenzee.


Leeuwarden, the provincial capital.


Some of the old city.

Groningen


Countryside.


And some more.


The provincial capital, Groningen, from the Martinitoren.



Martinitoren and Martinikerk.


The city of Groningen at night.


The academy building of the University of Groningen.

Well, since I live in the US, here's my state: Florida.

Here's my hometown, Hernando County:







Here's the rest of the state:














There you go! I hope you've enjoyed your mini-tour of Florida.

doubler's city architecture is kinda neat

[Doubler]

It's fairly typically Dutch. Why don't you show something, Russ?
