Having been stuck at home for a fortnight, I realised, damn I miss the beauty around me. Miami/Miami Beach are two of the most naturally pretty cities I've ever seen.

What it lacks in culture, like all beachtowns, it makes up in shiny, upbeat newness with a riot of aquatints. This place is FUN.

So, inspired by Watchbuff's AMAZING New York skyline photographs via his helicopter, and loving Nanuq's Life in Alaska series, I give you!...no, not the city where I was born, but where my family have settled -- South Florida.

Show the forum photos of your city too! :victory:

While you're lounging near the water in melting hot temperatures us Canadians are royally freezing our buts off in snow and ice!

Thanks for rubbing it in!

But seriously, that is an absolutely lovely city, and from what I've learned watching Miami Vice, it has a fair share of excitement... maybe I'll come and visit one day!

PS: Is that just the lighting, or does one of the ladies in that photo have neon red hair?

Lemme warm you by rubbing your feet. :group:

I dare not think what my boyfriend will say, when he sees that. TO is cold too...

Yes! One should definitely base one's impressions on places by telly shows! :lol:

I would be your virtual cicerone, should you need it, Corgi. We'll have the two best watches in the joint. :)

I didn't say, because I thought someone would guess it!

But does anyone here watch CSI: Miami? People use "Miami" and Miami Beach" interchangeably, but they are two very different and separate places.

So the "Miami Police Department" headquarters you see in the show, where you see David Caruso going in and out of, is actually this place above:

The Miami Beach Public library. :)

(Well, one of the many many branches in Miami Beach)

I don't get back much, but this will always be home base. The city that NEVER sleeps.

The best place in the world, next to London. :)

Would never live there, but man, it's a showcase of everything (good and bad) that man is capable of. The skyline is Egyptian in majesty...love love love.

Thanks Lord Rasta!

Fantastic place, I haven't been in a few years, which is a shame, as I know my fiance would love it. I heard a rumor that they re-modeled Smugglers so it's no longer 'pirate themed' and now just another soulless wine bar... :o

Oh, here's some pics of where I've lived...

Great view of good old Benal......Torrequebrada Casino in the distance and the heady high rises of Arroyo de la Miel.....I get that view every morning on the way to the office in Mijas.

Representing PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND

Rhode Island is the smallest state in size in the United States. It covers an area of 1,214 square miles. Its distances North to South are 48 miles and East to West 37 miles.

The best part about RI is in the summer I'm 20 minutes away from the beach and inthe winet 30 min from snowboarding.

Although I now live in Las Vegas, I grew up in this city, having moved there at the age of 5 and lived there for 30 years after.

It is where I call home, and will always be for me. Not too difficult to guess where this place is...
