Post a photo of where you're from

ABC news photo from during the bushfires. This photo would have been taken about 50m down from our house.

How frightening for you

Grew up here and haven’t moved far.. I’ve grown to really adore this place.

Glenelg Beach - One of my favourite places in Adelaide, where I live.

 

Its our home away from home.

DH and I grew up in Adelaide, DH in a neighbouring suburb. These days its the perfect base for us when visiting family. My dream is to have a holiday home there.

Grew up here and haven’t moved far.. I’ve grown to really adore this place.

[mention]Emissary[/mention] - my first job in 1983 was at the Safeway that become BKK in 1985, at which time I went to Franklins in the Penny Arcade

Speaking of Glenelg, I just took this photo from my level 10 room....... (thanks Steven Marshall for my SA tourism voucher!)

There aren't really any interesting landmarks where I was born and spent my childhood. However we had a lovely park down the end of my street where I played from sun up to sun down with the neighbourhood kids.

It had a creek where we tried and failed to catch frogs. Several good climbing trees. And a makeshift bike track and jumps some of the older kids had made.

Have you been back? The whole area has changed sooooo much in the last 3 decades. BKK is still around though and definitely much safer now lol

Somewhere beautiful and calming that I can go to when things get too much.

My childhood holiday place in New Zealand. Fresh water and white silica sand. I took DS there in Jan 2020 to have a taste.

Where I grew up:

Where I lived for quite a few years and where I probably will go back to:

Couldn't find a suitable picture of where I live now. But it is suburban Brisbane.

Where I"m originally from:

 

Ooooh, I recognise that place very very well. :grinning:

 

Yes, when you know it, it’s a fairly recognisable view.

I’m assuming you’re either a past or current local, or at least a very frequent visitor!

(edited b/c I messed up the quote-within-a-quote)

 

Yes current. I often park in that back carpark, the dirt one and have time to myself, I like to watch the seagulls. The actual beach part is one of our favourites to take our dog to. I absolutely adore where I live. I definitely don't take it for granted.

Where I grew up Would love to spend some time there again. Donaghadee, Northern Ireland.

[mention]Vicbitt99[/mention] that image is very familiar

[mention]eponee[/mention] [mention]Fruitmincepies[/mention] Both of yours are familiar as well

[mention]Bad Cat[/mention] yours I am way too familiar with.

[mention]JRA[/mention] your top one is familiar but not the bottom

These pics are making me think very hard to say the least

It was certainly a lovely place to grow up! I spent my early years on the south side of town, but in my teens lived very close to that beach. I had some of my wedding photos taken in front of the bathing boxes.

The twists and turns of life have taken me over to the other side of the bay, but I still get back a few times every year, lockdowns notwithstanding, to visit family.

[mention]Pip[/mention] Mine is from Canberra of that helps?

To reiterate what I said in another thread, I'm jealous of everyone who has easy access to the ocean beaches. Sigh.

/pity party

A scene from my morning walk.

This is from just down the road where I grew up

And yes, that is a main thoroughfare for many (although their is a detour - unless you went through my extended family's paddocks it adds about 100km to your trip.)

I confess to not being a beach person, I think they reek and the ocean wants you dead

Give me a river any day!

The cinema in the town I grew up in. It only ever showed 2 movies at a time and intermission was in every movie so you could go get snacks and go to the toilet. Everyone had their birthday parties there or at Bushland park.
