A shot from the beach at the shoreline.


The Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach is literally on the street, right outside of where I'm on the boat. Upside? 6 Free tickets every year, for the entire event. Downside? VROOM VROOM at 6am


Plus, we got the Queen Mary


Here's the aerial shot so you can see (at least half) of the city.


reppin' the LBC, Long BEACH!

jeez, Dede, more like the kids get eaten up to their knees. those are some HUGE fish

i added those pictures for dede, i don't even know if she fishes, under the mission bridge is the best freshwater sturgeon fishing in the world. a 6' fish is over 100 years old , my old neighbor caught the world's record of over 18' long sturgeon in 1973 with a hook

I didn't think the pics made it in??! so if someone helped me out.....awesome! If, i managed it on my own (i highly doubt :| ) well,

Ty, jayfix!!!

Lupeni:

These pictures were all taken by me at the lake today. My camera is lame; only allows a small amount of pictures and no memory card to be able to save them right away, or I would have gotten more. The first couple of pictures were taken on the way to the lake front.

In this picture below is the Historic Third Ward area. I am told that Johnny Depp and a movie crew are filming part of a movie here presently. Right in this area is where this really cool spot can be found: The Safe House

place where i reside now: Breckenridge, Colorado.

Strong Beach! Good to see some locals here.

sacramento, california my hometown

i heard schwarzeneggar took office without pay. We need more politicians like this, maybe not so much movie stars, but we need a government ran by the people not these blood money thirsty leeches that we see today.

That is gorgeous!

I'm lucky enough to live here:



Edinburgh

and prior to that i lived here:



Tokyo

he is..... the governator.....

NIce topic idea!
And everyone lives in such beautiful peaceful places, well
I think I might be somewhere near humungus but dude, I won't hurt ya.
Some shots of Huntington Beach, where I was born and raised. Not a so small beach city in California. I'll be at the beach later but heres some web pics.




I 'm somewhere back there

Where i was born: Mitchell South Dakota.. moved from there when i was 4 yrs old.


there is not much to see in Mitchell other than the Corn Palace located in the heart of the city. the palace is decorated with real corn of just about every color u can think of, the birds slowly eat the exterior over the summer and into the winter, so it is re-done every year in a different design.

the badlands are just a short drive.

my hometown: Rockford michigan


main street downtown

the rouge river

where i live now... New Orleans

French quarter view, not too far from my home

that aint the Mozart Estate is it



Shepherds Bush

mozart is just to the left of that
other side of the roundabout really

very close.

thats not really mozart as its in bush, could spit at it and hit it on a good day though.

The last couple places you stayed at looks soo serene and calming QuiteJim. I would love to get lost in that place you call a hole for a week.

one of the many natural features around hope b.c.


another of the water falls


a picture of the hope slide area that claimed several lives in the 60's , there is still problems at times with the highways washing out a couple times a year


when the highway is washed out or has a slide come down it strangles all traffic going into and out of the lower mainland of british columbia, as it is the confluence of both major highways joining the lower mainland to the rest of the country.


this sturgeon was pulled from the mighty, mighty Fraser river that runs past Hope B.C.


this is one of a series of five tunnels that were blasted through the mountains in some of the hardest terrain ever, it cost many people their lives and it is now a park


this is a local mountain in the winter and this guy is doing one of my favorite things, riding through untouched powder



here is a small sample of what the weather can get up to sometimes (not my video)

nah thats trelik towers i used to live across the road.behind that tower is the canal mozarts on the other side.(harrow road)
