Thank you for the replys so far! It is neat to see the pics of where y'all are from.

Phoenix isnt so hot, I like it there. Vegas too. I go to Tucson a cpl times a year on business & always try to plan my trip so I have some time to kick around in Vegas before heading to Tucson.

Frankie I think its a matter of the grass is greener. I live in a temperate area but long for the tropics. Malaysia is a wonderful country & one of those places I really want to get too.

For my part I live in Kentucky, the blue grass state as we call it. Horse capital of the world. I am not originally from here though. I was born & raised in a little town north of Columbia South Carolina ergo my claiming to be a southern gentleman. Kentuckians arent really southerners (dont tell them that). One of the paradox's of the southern mindset. Anyone from farther north than you is a yankee. Yankees that come south & stay are damn yankees.  I love Kentucky though. Very pretty state, get all the seasons but winter is fairly short & not to cold. The people are warm & friendly.

After High School I joined the army & while in got to do a fair amount of traveling. Ive been all over western europe from Lisbon to Liverpool to Berlin to Rome & all points of interest in between. I love to travel, meet new people & experience their culture. Those were the days when the cold war was hot & because of my security clearance I was not allowed into any of the WARSAW pact countries. Pitty really, I would have loved to go to Prague, Krakow, Minsk & Moscow.

Now I live a fairly quiet life. I own a farm in rural kentucky & travel to the big city of Cincinnati to work. I married a younger woman & even though I am getting ready to turn 50 I have 2 daughters aged 10 & 12.

Uh well since you guys added photos... I think I will as well.

Btw.. very breath taking photos from all of you. Im afraid that my ones are far too...  modest and casual. Nothing that fancy here where I live.


My little red house. (Yes I live here.)


And in winter... on a moonlight


Some northern lights that I was able to take with camera long time ago..  I haven't tried since then since taking pictures of those is very challenging!


A typical lake view in here where I live.


Our countryside looks like this.


And well. Here you frequently see wild animals, like this fox that was in my backyard! I was able to take this photo from my bedroom window.

I'd like to visit all these places now.

Me too. It seems that we live in very different kind of areas. And that is interesting

[Longknife]

Looks like you have a slice of heaven there Lumi! Thats my kinda place!

I am pretty remote as well, my closest neighbor it over a mile away. Only bad thing about it is my internet sucks! If I want to do online gaming I use my phone as a hotspot for a reliable connection.

 uh yeah. We indeed have a lot common. I got good net only after I spend 500euros to powerful antenna... and even then I had to twice change operator and to redirect antenna better. Now it works ok... but for the cost I'd really hope it to be better.

Thus I did order about 3 to 4 years ago a fiber cable to this location as they are cabling these areas Now. Two years ago company went to bank rupt, but 1,5 years ago new company was made and they actually started building main lines. And this year .. it seems that... or atleast they have been saying that all will get their net before end of this year.

I can only hope it to be true. It's very expensive and I'd hate to bear that I wasted that half of money I already paid to them.

Lumi. Your house looks like the ones from Steel Beasts. Tank Platoon in attack 

Is that "evil fox"?   

You live in a beautiful area Lumi.

[Lumituisku]

Who knows.. maybe I chose this house because of that. Lol.

And maybe he is.

About forty years ago I made what would now be called a "career decision" and moved to a small rural community in the American Midwest. I have lived here ever since. Although it isn't quite as convenient as living in a city, the crime rate is low and the inhabitants are friendly. We own the lot next door as well and that is where my garden is. I can think of no other place I would rather be.

Home in the mountains has a diverse landscape

"Small Town"

Well I was born in a small town
And I live in a small town
Prob'ly die in a small town
Oh, those small communities

All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity

Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of Jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic that's me

But I've seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an L.A. doll and brought her to this small town
Now she's small town just like me

No I cannot forget where it is that I come from
I cannot forget the people who love me
Yeah, I can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what I want to be

Got nothing against a big town
Still hayseed enough to say
Look who's in the big town
But my bed is in a small town
Oh, and that's good enough for me

Well I was born in a small town
And I can breathe in a small town
Gonna die in this small town
And that's prob'ly where they'll bury me

Oh yes, the age of drones. Forgot about that. Lol. Now it seems I should have bought a place more secluded where no one could find me with their spy drone.
