Thank you! I have to admit though, the pics in this thread make me feel for the first time in my life that I'm seriously missing out for not having visited the Americas.

more pictures this time about the city where I was born and brought up these pictures were taken by me

a well-known hotel in black&white:



a park where I played badminton:


another place near the city where my class visited:


a part of the museum of fine art:


my favorite photo:


Modern and ancient, blue and brown, glass and bricks: in the centre of Hochiminh city, they stand together, a department store (called Diamond plaza) and Notre Dame church. it was a sunny day, and we're glad that this pict isn't very bad cause my friend's camera don't usually have good views in the sunshine!

I didn't notice the people, the first time I viewed the second and third pictures.

It's a gorgeous beach. I love the rugged ones.

USA's natural diversity is its most attractive feature for me. But on the other side, it's so diverse I wouldn't know where to go first

Can you actually swim there? Or is it too cold due to the ocean?

Then you have to come here first - to the great Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia).

I was born in a beautiful island in the Caribbean. Whether is perfect… except for hurricanes season .

You can, but I've never tried to nor have I ever seen anyone doing so. I usually go during the non-summer months when the weather's colder.

What about Aricebo?! I've always wanted to check it out.

A lovely part of the world, that I would love to visit sometime.

Puerto Rico? More photos, please, especially ones of Aricebo - if you have them.

Two more from Alaska, from last week.

This one a lot of people seem to be interested in how it happens. It is actually fog that has become frozen onto all the surfaces it has touched. Usually it happens when we have an early evening fog, followed by a very quick drop in temperatures. Doesn't seem to happen all that often, but I think it is very beautiful. Might be common, but I only lived in hot climates before moving here, so Alaska is the first I've ever seen it.

Here is just a late morning sunrise. I think the sun was just peeking over the mountains and lighting up my neighborhood. It was around 10 A.M., which is about normal sunrise time this stage of the year in Anchorage. Moments like this are why I'm happy to carry a camera around with me everywhere.
