I lived in Quebec City for 4 years and it's also my favorite town in Québec. It's also the most beautiful in my opinion.

Hey there, Bern. Those red trees are quite a sight. I grew up in a very, very little town called Llay - Llay, wich means "Wind wind". Yes, it is rather windy. I remember moving to this place, Quilpué (Place of turtledoves), and thinking that I was arriving to a futuristic land. I was very young, off course. Anyway, great pictures. As soon as I stablish myself in my new home, I'll try to post pictures of it.

Aah, the Olympic Stadium, venue for that iconic concert by ELP.
Fanfare For The Common Man (full version!) was a highlight on the Uk's Old Grey Whistle Test music programme that year.I will never forget those pictures...

What a great thread, here is my hometown The Hague:
This is 10 minutes from my home: the beach-place Kijkduin, a few miles from Scheveningen.
A more and more rare scene in Holland because of the global warming: snow!
Het Buitenhof, the famous residence of our politicians.
This is my view from our appartment on the 6th floot in Kijkduin (The Hague), Holland.

My city is pretty lame compared to yours guys... It is a Montreal Suburb called Repentigny. Couldn't find a lot of photos on the internet. Here are the islands surrounding the town : Here is one (if not the one) of the oldest churches in America. It's about 2 blocks from where I live : And here is a windmill that's also really close to where I live : And here is a view from above that shows the proximity to Montreal :

What's the derivation of your town's name?

BTW, my town's name is Żyrardów. It derives from the surname of a french engeneer and inventor Philippe Henri de Girard who worked in the factory in the XIX century introducing his linen spinning machine.

Bodø is my hometown! The city seen from above: The island Landegode, just outside Bodø, at dusk(or dawn?): couldn't really find more nice pictures(right now at least)
