Seeing as we have have a thread where we post pictures of ourselves, why not have photos of our hometowns?

I live in coventry, in the middle of England, the population is about 350,000, it was where the jet engine and bicycle were invented, it used to be the centre of the British car industry, sort of like the English version of Detroit and was bombed to buggery in World War II Some pictures of the city centre:

I come from a really small town called patreksfjordur. My hometown is about 35O km's away from the city, were I live now. There live about 7OO people in patreksfjordur (aka patro). So it's really small :P But I love it there. We have a house near the town, (by the sea!!! ) and my grannie lives there. I lived there when I was little.

But I still understood anything. We'll wait for your picture. ;)
In the meantime, here are some pictures of the town I live in now. It's Recklinghausen, not very big (around 360 000 people), but still pretty known place around our area - as far as Cologne, Bielefeld and such reach, and that's something. ;)

I just found an entire thread in another forum with pictures from my hometown ?rhus. If you are interested, Here is a link. (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=95260)

There is a lot of pictures in that thread, so I'll just post the best of them here. I hope the guy who took them doesn't mind ;)

This is a catholic church in center of town. You can see the town hall tower in the background.
http://www.mikaellykmadsen.dk/aarhustour/8.jpg


Here, a lot of yung people gathers, and drink beers when the wether is good. The atmosphere here can be overrealming :D
http://www.mikaellykmadsen.dk/aarhustour/10.jpg


The road on the picture, is actually a sharp line between the city, and the harbor. In the background, you can see a forrest that stretches all the way to the center of town. The forrest is called Risskov.
http://www.mikaellykmadsen.dk/aarhustour/18.jpg


Who said that Denmark is flat? The picture is taken from the university facing the harbor, which you can see in the background.
http://www.mikaellykmadsen.dk/aarhustour/22.jpg


In ?rhus, the nature is very close to town. In the background you can see the prisme tower.
http://www.mikaellykmadsen.dk/aarhustour/26.jpg


This is a good picture of the close populated part of ?rhus. Again, who said that Denmark is flat? :angel:

?rhus is a very nice city. So if anyone of you out there are coming to Denmark, make sure to drop by ?rhus. :ok:

I just thought I would add this one. This windmill is actually located very close to the center of ?rhus. In ?rhus we have a museum, which actually is an entire town of very old buildings (The old city of ?rhus). The mill is standing on a hill in that museum town. :)
This is actually just next to the prisme tower, on one of the pictures above!

OK, finally I got my computer to work, for a while at least! (7,9,13)
Like I said, I come from a town called Patreksfjör?ur. But I live in the city, Reykjavík. So I have pics from both places.

PATRÓ
Patró, (http://www.abandonia.com/~puffin/Patro/patro.jpg) seen from the mountain. I have NO idea how the photographer got up there. I thought it was impossible :rolleyes:

Patró, (http://www.abandonia.com/~puffin/Patro/patro2.jpg) seen from the "Upper street". There are the Upper street and the Lower street. Two main streets that go through the town. I lived by the upper street ;)

REYKJAVÍK
Reykjavík (http://www.abandonia.com/~puffin/Patro/reykjavik3.jpg) city centre, seen from a huge church called Hallgrímskirkja.

Perlan, (http://www.abandonia.com/~puffin/Patro/reykjavik2.jpg) or The Pearl. It's some sort of exhibition thingy now, I think. In the round thing is a great, EXPENSIVE restaurant.

My old school, (http://www.abandonia.com/~puffin/Patro/tjarnarskoli.jpg) the house with the tower. Half of the house is a school (about 25-30 students in the whole school), and the other belongs to the Cathedral. Behind the school you can see Tjörnin, a lake in the centre of the town.

Tjörnin (http://www.abandonia.com/~puffin/Patro/tjornin.jpg), the lake. It's disgusting, actually. Duckshit everywhere. The water is actually GREEN. I wouldn't want to fall into that! In the winter we can skate on it! That's really fun. When I went to the school I often took my skates with me! :P

The cathedral. (http://www.abandonia.com/~puffin/Patro/domkirkja.jpg) It's in the centre of Reykjavík. I confirmated there. It's really beutiful. Next to it is the famous Althingi, the parlament. There is some really interesting fact about it, but I can't remember. I'll let you know when I do.

Laugavegurinn, (http://www.abandonia.com/~puffin/Patro/laugavegur.JPG) the main shopping street in Reykjavík. On that pic you can see my second fav bar/club, Nellý's. It's really cool and they don't ask for ID's! :lol:

Hermes, (http://www.abandonia.com/~puffin/Patro/hermes.jpg) the mascot of my all time favorite bar, Stúdentakjallarinn. Located in the same house as my boyfriend used to live! Not far to go B)

Inside (http://www.abandonia.com/~puffin/Patro/student.jpg) Stúdentakjallarinn. Stúdentakjallarinn means the Student Cellar! Really nice place. Quite international, as the campus for foreign students is in the same house. I don't think the bartenders even speak icelandic :P

Well, that's it!

My school entrance.
Heavy big doors for firetrucks
next to that a smaller (main) entrance.
Bulletproof glass usually guarded by guards and police
behind that is another door (first you pass this security desk inside)
and as you can see, high wall with a fence on top.

Frequent terror-drills too (lock doors and everybody under the tables)

Last year the school was evaquated twice, and cancled for half a day due to a mysterious package near the door.

03-10-2004, 12:52 PM
Told you already
Antwerp, North Belgium.
Since a year or so there is a new radical group of muslims called the AEL (arab european league)
They are led by a man who claims he used to be in the Hezbollah (or Hiz'bull'ah)
its, according to the US and Israel, a terrorist group.
But ofcoarse the rest of the world calls them anything ranging from Militants to Freedomfighters.

Anyway... he claims he was a member of the Hezbollah and now he and his group 'fight for the rights of muslims in belgium and freedom for palestine and Iraq'
Their protests usually turned out violently.
Broken cars and shopwindows, police having to come to calm them down.

The police has arrested some highstanding members quite a few times but could never keep them in jail (politicians were afraid of an escalation so they pressured Antwerp to release them)
Now they have seemingly calmed down.

However a lot of jews go to the school I learn in... so it has received serveral threats (since the foudnation of the AEL)

The AEL once issued a statement that if their leader would be killed they would seek revenge on serveral highstanding jewish citizens.

It is no surprise that the ultra right wing plitical group called the Vlaams Blok (reffered to as 'nazi's in suits' by the popular series: "The West Wing") actually won the previous elections (but since they are banned from forming a government they did not win, eventhough they got the majority of the votes)

Now opinion polls show the Vlaams Blok has 44% of the votes, while the leading party now has 40% in the entire country.
Antwerp is now the Vlaams Blok's base (majority of the votes for Vlaams Blok come from antwerp) and thus it is possible that the next mayor of Antwerp will be from the Vlaams Blok (the ban on Vlaams Blok can't be held against such an overwhelming ammount of votes)

So now the jewish community has the neonazis on one side (oddly enough the 'neonazis' are trying to gain support from the jewish community by supporting israel and portraying the rest of the Belgian Government as anti jewish... which is basically true) and the AEL on the other side.

And now out school is a fortress.

EDIT: oh yes and they have a political party aswell... RESIST or something.
Needless to say they aren't getting a lot of votes.

They renovated their dutch site into something more peacefull.
But their english site is still the same AEL (http://www.arabeuropean.org/English/index.html)
Sadly the texts there aren't as radical as on the old dutch one.
But worst was their forum.
It used to be open to all... then they changed it to members only (and these guys have a political party!)
What I read in there surpases all.
They said things I expected a neonazi to say.

Bah... I should have taken some pictures of the forum... too late now

oh and here is what they did to 'commemorate the Intifada'
16 years of Intifada, hurrah (http://www.arabeuropean.org/English/News/intifadaaction.html)

The fire alarm went on, and I heard people screaming, and he started running out. Wow. Last time the alarm went on in my school i was in french class. The teacher said: "Well, if it's fire, we'll notice soon enough. And that's ok, we're on the ground floor. Now just keep on working!" :P

heh, Yeah I know the AEL, they try stuff here to. Though they mainly get laughed at.; Though some of the populist politicians always want to ''have a discussion with them'' ...after they burned flags and stuff.

All I can say is...if you want to have palestina / muslim freedom / iraq free etc..why don't you go over there and help instead of terrorizing our country :blink:

Sadly Belgians are too cowardly to laugha t them.

I remember a year or two ago (when the AEL was at its peak and there were violent protests nearly every few weeks) the most famous belgian stand-up comedian (who mainly makes jokes about the royal house and the politicians) made a joke about the AEL.
Nobody laughed, the entire room was silent.

And then he got angry, he said: "this is SO typical for us Belgians! You never get tired of my jokes about the royal house, I need to wait 5 minutes for the room to quiet down after I make my yearly joke about our king having parkinson... But when I make a joke about common hoodlums, this gang of political hotheads you don't dare to make a sound!" after this he walked off the stage and only came back after a few minutes (this break was not planned, he was really angry I think)

Anyway.
belgians are too cowardly to critisize out loud... they just elect the most extremist right wing party :)

anyway I'm drifitng off again
i get like that whenever I talk about politics.

What is that bed doing in the middle of the river on the picture named:Varzob-2.JPG?? :blink:

Does someone sleep there, or is there just a long way to the dump? :D

Lol... :blink: :P
Nope, that's not a bed, it's a thing called "toptschan" and so far I only saw such things in Tadschikistan. It's a place where MANY people can sit down to talk to each other, relax when they're tired or fishing in the river, where the last function fits most on this picture. The "toptschan" is also around 3 times larger as a normal bed. ;)

Sunset by Hvalfjör?ur (http://www.abandonia.com/~puffin/minarmyndir/no10.BMP)

Taken from my aunt's summerhouse. Few minutes drive from Reykjavík. Sometimes I go kayaking there! It's awesome!
Sometimes I go to this summerhouse after school, stay there overnight, and in the morning I drive back to school! It's really nice getting away from everything...
