TABan Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Downtown Oak Park, shot from the train station. My morning coffee spot at left. Here's our front yard after replacing the lawn. Much nicer and no mowing. Not on Alamy yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReeRay Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Clearly within 5 kilometers of, what at the time, was my current home in Polperro Cornwall England. View from my lounge overlooking the harbour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reimar Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Not that I have much hope of being selected with my vertical image, but it is a wonder to me why Alamy displays landscape images at 4.25 x 6.25 inches (on my screen), while portrait images are displayed at 3.4 x 5.1 I think they should be the same size, don't you?

Martin P Wilson Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Two miles from my home at the Lakeside Arts Centre. Highfields Park - Ali Smith fresh from the Man Booker Award dinner where her book How to Be Both was shortlisted. Energetic and interesting I was fortunate to have a pleasant chat with before the reading and discussion - a lovely person and a hugely talented writer. I dropped my camera and damaged a lens. Still did not spoil my memory of the evening (last night). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiskerke Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 No recent images from the vicinity of our home this month.This is one I've prepared earlier ;-)1 mile -1.6 km from home.Peace and calm in Haarlem.As for global warming (#Lisa), we have an app for that.Clunky English Google translation of the pc version here. The short video is interesting. (Click on Transcript text for English.)The app is for current water levels only.At about 1-2 m height above Normal Sea Level (NAP - Normaal Amsterdams Peil) we live in relative luxury ;-)The windmill De Adriaan with it's interesting history, is not for pumping out water, but for grinding grain.Well to attract tourists actually.wim edit: map link edit2: map link now actually works ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 I heard on the radio recently that my area might be getting some of those Dutch flood-control engineers over to advice on how to protect against Sandy-like storms. They should know what they're doing. Funny to call them back to what was their own little city in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustydingo Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Funny to call them back to what was their own little city in the past. Which, Edo, I assume is why your lovely city still abounds with Tulips in spring. The profusion of flowered parks was a delightful surprise to us. dd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokyoM1ke Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Crowd control at a Tokyo festival during the summer, just under 5km from home. The police were enjoying themselves as much as the crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
