Mexico City :eek:

[Jailblazers7]

The Chinese rice fields looks like a painting. The shape, size, and density of some of those cities are pretty ****ing insane.

crazy the only place anyone would recognize it is from way above...there are some tall buildings in Dubai though

Nice find, -pt-. Seattle looks like something out of Game of Thrones.

Yeah it is or it seems so at first glance...


Reading about it tonight... Lot's of problems I guess, 300 islands and only two have been developed and one of those is the original model home... They've had some problems with erosion, projects being stopped and started... great idea...

Why the strips of grass poking out into the river? Just spruced up boat docks? Looks like a nice place.

I have no idea how he gets those camera angles, but there is actually space between those buildings for oxygen and the occasional trees :lol

Just for a place to relax I guess. There's always people just sitting there on a nice day with friends or whatever.

Really? Nice one, didn't go there myself. I was there during Carnival. SO MANY PEOPLE. Could barely see sand through all the people on the beach.

My mate and I got hit on by a couple of gay Brazilians in speedos while we were swimming. Good times.

Right on. Nicer than just a concrete dock.

Funny, it is actually Dubrovnyk in Croatia that is where Game of Thrones is filmed. In fact, that picture is "Kings Landing"

sweet, would be better if you had better climate, i got a buddy that graduated from Delft, complained that the weather is shitty AF in the Netherlands

It is shitty. Raining right now in fact.

But we do get around 20 days a year when it is really hot and you can easily go to the beach.

However, the North Sea is very cold , so swimming is not really an option. Bad thing is, Dutch people are crazy when the weather is good, they take free days of work, they dont go to school, beach is crowded, bars are crowded, traffic is insane.

The island in Casco Bay, Maine where my family has a summer house. Our house is the 4th from the left, sitting slightly back from the frozen cove. Pic was taken in January.

They look cool but why would anyone want to live on one of those islands? It would be a major pain in the ass just to leave the house. Doing simple things like buying groceries and such would be a monster hassle. No street for kids to play in, etc

Once the initial beauty and view gets old you would realize that you're trapped on a little island lol

I'm guessing they get groceries delivered and shit like that. If you live on one of those islands you prob have like a private chef handpicking berries to put on your morning oatmeal. I'm sure it's pretty easy to just hop on a small boat or jetski and get to some central community area.

Yeah I guess anyone who owes a home on one of those islands likely has other homes and not just that one...that would probably be a weekend home.

The house I posted above is on an island about a half mile out in the bay. Getting groceries involves a boat, car, and a lot of lugging. What sucks is going to all that effort and then realizing you forgot something. :oldlol: Luckily the local marina sells live lobsters.

looks awesome, I'm jelly. I'm sure it's really great during the summer as well.

Is there any fishing that can be done from the shore?

You can catch flounder and cod from the the float/boat landing. A little ways out by boat and you can catch striped bass, Spanish mackerel and bluefish.

[Zan Tabak]

Mexico city literally looks like a garbage dump.

[rufuspaul]

Venice looks like a horrible place


It's got some beautiful architecture but in the summer it's a hot, stinky mess filled with loud tourists from New Jersey.

I can confirm this. Florence >>> Venice.
