World Where You Live (show me the scenery!)

I can finally officially post here I did my first outside photoshoot... not alot of Reno shots but it shows my little backyard ... next weekend we will conquer the park down the hill!


Yes Virginia it really does snow in Nevada lol



The other side from the 'snow' shot of the yard


And sometimes the sun does come out for a little while.


Snowball!! Just for the record we get WAY WAY more snow then this.


See... same back yard were Kyla was sitting, just a month and a half ago!


Just more snow shots.... this is my front yard after a few days of melting. And yes that's my jeep on the left side


Last one promise.... ever wonder what happens when you throw a 5lb dog into 2 feet of snow........


Okay I'll stop spaming now!!

 

Me and my friend Dagger went on one of our magical outtings today and here is one of the few pictures that turned out well.




These were taken at a protected area called Heiðmörk just inside the city limits, this is a rock formation that is just outside the forrest. The weather was freezing so you can see the frozen water I think.
Iceland is the place to be at if you want cold! (And red rocks ofcourse)

 

I went to downtown Round Rock today and got some pictures in and around town. :3

Bell in front of the library

In front of the Palm House museum on a well.

 

hi *waves*
well i live in a place called Kent in England and here are some of my pics of my home and the place where i live!!! some not including a bjd but most do XD
the bjd in the pics is Aurora (D.I.M Benetia)


out the window in front of the house,,,, we live on a hill so great view!!!





out of my window









getting dark!!!






a friend of mine in the woods where i live!!!



I where i live and wouldnt change it for the world!!! XD

 

Someday, I will visit all the places photographed here! Especially San Francisco.

Here are my shots. Welcome to Singapore! [Chow Yun Fatt voice]


The wooded path perpendicular to the end of my street [I live on a no-through road]. I love it so much.


The path leads up to this forest, which extends to behind my house.


View of my front porch at night.


Our airport!


Bougainvillea in Clarke Quay, a riverside... place to be? LOL. The pink aren't flowers, they're leaves! XD


Some cacti in my aunt's flat in Hong Kong.


Er. ... The inside of the wax museum in Hong Kong. Sorry, couldn't resist!!

 

I live in a small town of about 1000 in northern Alberta, Canada. The town is mostly Aboriginal people - Cree, Dene and Métis. I'm one of the few non-Aboriginal people in Fort Chipewyan. This is a view of part of the town and in the distance the vast white expanse is part of Lake Athabasca.



Here, you can see Yuki and Rika's faces.

 

I live in Sapporo, Japan. We have really long and snowy winter here. And a very beautiful autumn

Yoru and two highest buildings in Sapporo - JR Tower on the right but I dont know the name of this bld on the left...


And behind Yoru is a road no. 11 XD


Two weeks ago we had this amount of snow in the city O_o



Thanks for watching ^^

 

Out around my mother's garden:








Park near Texas A&M University (Research Park)






Wolf Pen Creek:




Sorry for so many ^^; we go out a lot! I still have tons I have yet to upload @_@;;

 

I took pictures of Sanyu at my school today, and there are a few that show the parking lot and stuffs...

Up in the school tree, still no leaves...


A bench at my school. Had a passing teacher comment that it would make a 'cool picture'.


And a bunch of cars in the background. Also, the beginning of the hills. I'm just thankful there's no snow in the pictures... Even though it's supposed to snow again tomorrow...

 

Well, Ghost enjoys contemplating the Pacific with me, even if he insists on dressing in dark, anti-beach clothing....

Sometimes the driftwood that washes up makes for a good vantage point above the water. But other times, you just need to get down and stand in the surf.

 

Oh man, there are so many pics I could post here... X3 I love taking my kids into the grand outdoors (which is mostly my back yard XD) with me! And a few of them have traveled with me all over the place; my Sylvie kept me company for five weeks in Italy, and Sabine went with me on my week-long trip to Washington DC. ^^ I love everybody's pictures, it's great to see dollies in all kinds of places. Here's a few from me to get me started, although I'm sure this won't be the last time I post here. XD This will be a long post, because I enjoy not only sharing pictures but the story behind them. ^^


I figure I may as well start things off with a bang, so here's my first boy LaSalle as he was as just a head with his old face-up and old eyes (this was taken for a DoA game mind you), and my cat decided to run up and investigate what was diverting my attention away from him. Token backyard overrun by high grass. XD


Considering this is "World Where You Live," I thought this would be cute to share. X3


In Grandma's garden, which is a jungle in and of itself.


In the bamboo at grandma's house.


In March 2007 some of the Miami contingent met up at Vizcaya, a historic site (palace and gardens). The place is huge, and photos aren't allowed inside, but we had a grand old time on the grounds. Visible in this picture are kids of mine, NikoMari's, and Wheezy's.


Father and youngest daughter in the front yard. Not much of the yard actually visible because my neighbors across the street were having a huge party so it was nothing but cars behind them. XD

That's it from me, unfortunately, since photobucket seems to take issue with me uploading any more pictures. =_= It was really fun to go back and look for all these pictures, it was like reliving these experiences all over again to an extent. ^^

 

In a Japanese garden in Ft. Worth, Texas in early April.
Arimin by a koi pond


This time WITH koi. ^0^


Love the green while it lasts for in a month this will all be brown. *sigh, Texas*


Arimin with his MSD friend, psh and here I thought all my dolls were straight.


Arimin and a pagoda that even for a doll is laughably small. *snicker*


Pretty blooms! Yay Texas' two weeks of Spring! Get it while it lasts!

 

My boy and I met up with Czarina, a new resident of Humboldt county, for a photoshoot. It rained the day before, and was foggy afterwards, so we were lucky to get such a nice sunny afternoon!
The statue is of William McKinley. Why it's in Arcata and not McKinleyville, I've no idea....


And all of the snow pictures above made me wish for a little more of it.... We're not high enough in the mountains for it to fall and stick.

 

Sora and our local (very big) park:

 

well, i couldn't decide between these pictures, so yeah i put them all up (sorry for the big pictures )...

 

There's this wicked gnarly tree in one of the courtyards at my school, and every time I look out, I swear I expect to see Aragorn outside doing something dramatic. It's very Gondor-esque, minus the elves and the sheer freakin' drop.

 

^ Yup, definately a mysterious tree.

I took some photos of Sakura in the garden today. Crikey the bees kept flying at me. Then there was a crab spider on the wallflowers behind Sakura eating a bee, which was off putting. I tried to get a picture of it, but the only one that came out in focus only showed its butt. It was quite an interesting looking spider, as it had changed the appearance of its texture to match the petals of the flower.

Here, I bet you can't see the bee-icide taking place. The little rotter hid the body too quickly:



And one of Sakura in mysterious shrubbery, looking mysterious:

 

Man, I cannot wait until my girl gets here. I may even make a trip to the Grand Canyon for this thread.

 

I keep finding more and more ways to get Rani out into the world....he and his way-tall buddy Czarine are enjoying what little warmth is left in the sand at Mad River beach.

 

It COULD be the perpetual pot-haze that kinda seeps out of every grove of trees, yeah.... It's totally amazing, living here. Everyone is so...into life. And they all love art. I get so many comments on my doll, my doll's hair, MY hair...(my entire head is bright blue. It's a bad day if I don't get at least one comment on it.) Might be the small-town mentality, illegal substances aside.

Here, I'll justify this conversation with another picture of Humboldt's beauty.

 

a few more recent pics from round my house ^_^

Brenna by the river that runs past our house


Yaso with the bridges behind him, the really old one closest


the cool Kelpie sundial thingy on the old bridge


Gilthan sitting on the edge of the sundial, you can just make out my house through the trees to the right


Silver playing his guitar with my house in the background XD


Dalamar sitting in the same place that Silver was standing


Gilthan on the Field gate


Same gate in the background

 

My kids in China,Hangzhou city,West Lake

 

In front of my house.. xD We don't have a garden, it's just a small street xD


The harbour (How'd spell it!? XD) which is 2 steps away from my home



My roof :'D



The beach I also live very near :3 (Know, it's sweet water.. not salt. o_o)

I LIVE IN A PLACE CALLED URK! D:

 

We live about 5 miles away from a Nuclear Power Plant, DH works there too.


And no my dolls don't glow in the dark!

 

@animemom
I work with radioactive material everyday and I know how you feel about people always asking if you glow in the dark.

Went to an Asian festival in downtown Dallas and decided to take the dolls, Lilia and Saejima. Then we found this AWESOME fountain thing with red sculptures that floated and twisted about in the wind in front of city hall and couldn't resist a photoshoot. ^_^




And now some of the Dallas skyline



Odd but interesting note:
Its written in the Texas state constitution that the flag may be flown at the same height as the United States flag.

 

Well, I have two homes since I stay with my mother during the week and the father on the weekend. Both live in good ol' JoCo - for those of you North Carolinians - and I love where I live. Sure, the humidity kills me, but I get a break during the summer when I stay with my Aunt & Uncle out in Cali. Woohoo Cardiff by the Sea.

But anyways, it's been gorgeous weather and I couldn't resist taking pictures of the bois for this. This here's at my dad's house. Sorry about the large amount.

Our deck partly wraps around our pool. Once it's completely clean I'll be swimming, woo!


Up on the deck rail. Our "forest" is so gorgeous now that everything is green. The fence'll be taken down and a chain fence will be put up farther back sometime.


Looking back to the trees. As lovely as it can be, it can be effectively spooky too.


Astra sitting on the gate to the back. He's such a country boi, so is Var. I never would've expected them to be.


This cleared way will be where the new fence'll run through. It has an enchanted pathway look. This is just ground level, not so enchanting.


Farther back into the woods. You can see the creek in the back left area. I almost fell getting them on the rocks but by God I was going to do it.


Up out of the woods, on the outside of the fence. That what's it called stuff they're hooked on is so the dogs don't slip through the fence.


Bois posing on the hood of my step sister's '87 Camaro. Yes, it is a convertible.
​

And that's all for now, I'll get the ones from my mom's house uploaded sometime.

 

Wow...amazing photos.
This thread made me feel like grabbing my boys and going out to take some pictures!

 

Excuse the lack of wig... he said it was too hot to wear one. He's standing on a hill overlooking the Somerset levels in England.

 

We live in Barrie, about an hour outside of Toronto. This is just a quick picture from the 6th floor balcony of my apartment. When I get a chance later there will be pictures in the nearby Sunnidale park, and at the waterfront. For now, Rose and the view from my apartment.

 

lmao!! I was scrolling though rather quickly, and mistook the road for a stream of pee that was photoshoped in... I was like "Dude... no they did not take a picture of their doll peeing off a cliff. Thankfuly that 1/4 of second passed quickly and I realized it was a road.

 

Nathalia on the front deck



To the upper left in the background you can see Interstate 8 heading west past SDSU towards Fashion Valley.

 

wow clochette, is that on your balcony? if so what a nice view!

omg your comment made me LOL so much just now

 

wow~ everybody's pictures are soooo beautiful! I love looking at all the places everyone has posted so far. They were so inspiring! Now I want to go outside and take pictures of my boys too. Maybe I'll do it this weekend. ^^

 

Saa nice top see soome of my home scenery 3


Arashi with our local park in the back ground


On the momument in the middle of the park


Shinya on my college desk

 

Yes,it is a very old city,maybe more than 2000 years existing.
It is Hangzhou city in China,with beautiful views.

 

There's a big new building on campus, that everyone hates because it rises out of the redwoods like a giant cinderblock...but I love it. Five stories up, you get a great view of the bay and the Arcata bottoms.... Or you would, if it weren't so darn hazy. XP

And then, five stories below, the spread of Humboldt State University.... More controversial buildings that no one likes. The University president, butthead that he is, is trying to bring SoCal to the Redwoods via architecture.... No one is very fond of him. XD

 

Here she is getting ready to go out for our trip the other day, but there will be new pics later of the world around us from our trip today!

 

JennyNemisis::
Hah!! OMFG That made me lawl!! XDD I LOVE how they look like their actually people, I give you HUGE props on those photos!! XDD And the first props I've given out on doa too. XD;; ^^

 

Those are awesome! I love the water being so close in the background. And stupid as this is, what is sweet water? Desalinated water perhaps?

Okay, so I don't have much to show for my area yet but today had an Asian themed meet at a Japanese park called Kariya Park (where it decided to rain on us) and got a couple pictures. I'll have to go out and take more. This is a great thread. I like to see where people live.

Cherry blossoms.. the winds were blowing the petals out of the trees at an alarming rate. It was 'snowing' cherry blossom petals all over. I was surprised he managed to not be blown over by the wind.


There's a little statue there that begs to have pictures taken on it. the surface is both slick and uneven. Again, I was really surprised he stayed up there, especially with the high winds we had.

 

I'm going to take a pretty liberal definition of "local" here... but the North-western corner of Washington has some interesting places to take pictures.

Gaia in the Victorian cemetery next to Volunteer Park~


Chanter at Marymoor Park~


William at a different place at Marymoor~


Kosetsu on Mount Rainier (Wearing his "travel wig" since he'd been stuffed in a bag all afternoon o_O)~


Hideo at Hurricane Ridge~


And out on the Pacific coast~


Tai'sun at the Japanese Garden~


The Alabaster Prince looking out my kitchen window~


Tien Jen on the Bear Creek river-walk~


And for something a little different... Harumatsu on the beach in Pensacola, Florida. (My family used to have a beach-house a few miles down the coast from where this was taken.)

 

Odii&Thaer&theCD's Farera and Poe (who doesn't live with me anymore) at the Chetola resort for celtic festival last year.

 

8D Amazing pics! Especially to see those mountains Brightfires!

I live in the flat Netherlands.

My home is on the left and Amsterdam on the right. But you can't see it. XD
Luciel is posing here.


Dresden in a park in Apeldoorn


Madeline in the snow last december.
Close to my home.


Some landscape pics from then:



That's Amsterdam South-East over there

 

Freiburg, Germany:


Kim-Chi in the Japanese Garden, which is a present of our partner city, Matsuyama.*^^*






and after that, we went to the "Seepark", which is directly next to the Japanese Garden x3


Look, how tall he is XDDDD

*aaarrrgh* SUN X___x;;;

 

Ailin was chilling on the balcony of my cousin's place during my trip to Japan this past summer.

 

hrtsforluv's Quinn and my Bryer hanging around the boardwalk.




Bryer at the side yard of my garage. xD

 

Kanagawa, huh? Cool! I have friends in Sengen, Tsukuba (Ibaraki) and distant family up north in Hakodate (Hokkaido.) Never been to Kanagawa, but I've always wanted to go.

I don't really live anywhere interesting though - just here in an urban town in Pennsylvania. Here's a silhouette of Sakuri standing on our walkway with the street behind him.

​

 

My friend`s dolls and my dolls at the Rinkai-kouen at Odaiba.

 

This thread is just amazing! I love being able to see cities all around the world through the lenses of locals.

Haven't got very good ones at the moment, but here's a few for now:

Claudia, one misty morning, on the balcony facing onto our backyard -






It looks a lot better in these pics than usual because the fog helpfully obscures the houses on the opposite side. XD

 

*sigh* Yup. Parts of Canada do not get all that much snow. Ontario actually does get a lot of snow but I live right on Lake Ontario and even though 20 minutes in any direction can have snow up to their eyeballs, my city seems to have an umbrella over it and it just passes us by. Same for rain. 'Tis quite depressing to walk outside and see nothing but brown grass and leaf-less trees.

However, it's not winter now so the brown stuff is green (er, not counting dead leaves..).. Pics taken this past weekend at another park in my town. XDDD

 

Pretty Colorado~ Though effing hot.. ><


Boy isn't mine, he's Dremlin...belongs to Yashito


Zephyr playing with the park flowers xD


Better shot of the park. Goes: Rae(Mine), Dremlin(Yashito's), Zephyr(Mine) and Terrance(Eraknight11's). Plus the little foxes: Taku(The small one, mine) and Valentine(Bigger, Eraknight11's and Mareofnight's.)


Shot of the open field of the park--we have a lot of these, just not as green. xD Dremlin, again, is Yashito's...she also took the picture :3

 

A few new ones with Yaso skinny dipping in the river that runs by my house ^^

 

In my garden




It was really sunny today ^^;

 

My Lakai on my favorite public bench in downtown Reno, NV. I spend more time along this walkway than I do at home.

 

My girl at my old house




Viva Las Vegas...in the spring (sorry her face is washed out).

 

Zoey in my backyard


my dog kody seeing if Zoey is ripe enough the eat.

(the dog sniffs the grape bushes to see if they are ripe enough to eat)
