Where are you?

The forum merges topics kinda wierd. anyways, Palutena's is really gonna be the OP.

I noticed we have a topic where people show what they look like, but not one for them to show us their surroundings, landscapes, or if they're on a trip, share their experiences with photographic evidence!

I'm gonna start out, if it's okay.

I'm on a short trip to Kyoto, my birthplace, to pay respects to my grandpa, Kamui Yukihiko, who passed away recently.

This is Kinkaku-ji, Temple of the Golden Pavillion, where I went to pay tribute to him. It was raining, but it was absolutely beautiful.

Please, give me feedback if this was a good idea or not, okay?

But it shows this stuff that I posted in invisible places about my recent trip. Which was posted chronologically (1 week) before Palutena's post. I'm not stealing her topic, just wanted to plug my into the bottom. ><

--------------------

These probably won't be in any particular order and I will probably post more later when I get all the ones my mom took. But yeah, these I got with my phone or ipod touch.

Keep your beaches clean, guys.

A beachside view of part of the historical Coronado Hotel. It's old. Famous people stayed there. But I don't really care, but it's kinda picturesque.

My personal favorite of all the pictures I took during this vacation. Just the concrete jungle of LA as seen while driving towards Little Tokyo.

Go For Broke. Monument/memorial honors the Japanese-Americans who fought for the US during WWII, some even coming from concentration camps to fight to prove their honor and loyalty.

View of South Lot Universal Studies from the never-ending escalators you ride to get down there. Also down there, the only rides worth riding down there.

Note to self, clone more sturdy Velociraptors.

No, it's not delete this at once.

In all seriousness, it IS a good idea for a topic. I'd post some pictures, but El Paso isn't the most photogenic city. (Mael can attest to this) I'll try to dig up some old photos from when I lived in Frankfurt, instead.

Living in a city like New York City isn't that great, with all it's clichéness and scene obsession. Especially by where I live, it's unsurprisingly plain and boring.

I love it; tomorrow I'll have pictures of both places, some of Flint and some of the middle of nowhere. Also, might I just say that temple is beautiful o~o

I really like the idea.

Also, that photo is absolutely awe-striking... you don't get those sort of aesthetics in endless suburbia.

My room isn't much and the way it's set up I couldn't show you any of it without leaving out half of it but this was my lil Pagan Podium before it got all messy

I use that lil dragon & Amethyst paperweight to hold my incense, and that thing with the blue polished rock on it is a candle holder. Then I have all my herbs & other ingredient-things, my sage stick (I'm supposed to burn it and use it for smudging but I just use saltwater and incense generally) and my gemstones.

Not pictured: the conch I use as homage to Water & the west and the antler I use for Earth and the north.

I use the incense for Air & the east, and the candles for Fire/the west c:

I think this came out pretty badly, but I've never been good at taking pictures on a phone. Since our house isn't tall enough, I could only get a bit of one field, but there's several on each side of the house. Usually it's all green, but right now we're growing rapeseed, which has bathed most of the fields in yellow. It draws the rabbits out just like lettuce, so my tom cat is very happy right now. :) It looks really gorgeous on sunny days. In a few hours the sky will be really blue but I thought I'd forget to take a picture by then, so I just took one now. I really like living in this environment, but my sister wishes we were closer to civilisation. :X

This happened in my hometown, where Erick currently is. Not sure how he could have forgotten to share this, being like the biggest thing in recent El Paso history.

There's also a bit of this:

On the road. Got myself an iPhone at Sprint today! Wooooo!

Now I finally know what it's like to own a phone. And so begins the massive debt of money I'll owe my parents. Wish me luck at paying this off!
