greyfriar Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 The beautiful garden pictures from goose (in the "Post pictures of you" section), inspired me to make this thread. If something similar on this board already exists, I apologize.Since I'm a very nosy guy, I'm interested in how it looks like, where you folks live. When I see all the names of the places where people here do come from, I always get the wanderlust...so...let's see...how your garden grows, your streets rot or just how beautiful the surrounding landscape of your home is.I'll start with an evening mood taken in 2001, from the field just outside my house:http://i1253.photobucket.com/albums/hh597/greyfriar2112/StapelBild0001_zps67efb35d.jpg 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grass is dormant. The mountains are the Sierra Nevada, and just to my right you can see the ski runs of Heavenly Valley Ski Resort. Where I live you can golf and ski on the same day. :) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. P. L. Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Just behind my house, looking east http://www.animatedweb.it/imagestore/images/semea/palazzo_sormani_lurago_erba2.jpg Looking further east, one of our most famous mountains. We call it "Resegone" which means Big Saw because, well, it looks like a big saw. Yeah, I climbed it, it's not that difficult. http://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/74520670.jpg Edited July 11, 2014 by H. P.

Beautiful landscape and the house in the first picture looks like a palace. Nice. It's a 17th century villa alright, the owners live in Milano and come up every now and then. There's a collection of horse carriages (of all things) inside. One of many italian jewels precluded to the people. Maybe for the best.The tower bell on the left is my morning clock. Wakes me up at 7 every day. It's just right out of my bedroom window. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narps Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 My house from a few angles and my street. I have gardens around the entire perimeter of my house. I love flowers and bushes of all kinds. Its cool to watch them grow and bloom each year.....http://s14.postimg.org/ucilcvxtt/20140711_120259.jpghttp://s18.postimg.org/9qge4q8nt/20140711_120311.jpghttp://s4.postimg.org/pevaze9jx/20140711_120404.jpghttp://s28.postimg.org/7vb0gayq5/20140711_120518.jpghttp://s18.postimg.org/k0rzvgdax/20140711_120641.jpg 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x1yyz Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Wow, you people have beautiful houses & yards! I don't seem to have any photos of our place, at least not post-renovation (it was in crappy shape when we bought it, so I don't want to post photos of construction). But here is our view, looking at downtown San Francisco and the Oakland hills in the distance: http://i341.photobucket.com/albums/o371/x1yyz/IMG_8081_zps81345bb5.jpg 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
