First time post! :p

I come from a city in New Zealand called Christchurch

ChristchurchCathedral8.19.04.JPG

But I have spent a lot of time at our house in the small township of Tekapo. Has recently been going through the process of becoming a World Heritage site due to its night sky.

This is my home in Norway. Sirdal is a small mountain village in the inland of Norway 1700 inhabitants. Big mountains, 5 ski lifts and a golfcourse (8 Holes). Lots of wild nature :)

PS: People here would not know a good watch if it bit them in the nose :p However it is important to me....

I live in a small cabin with fiberaccess to the net (Yes in the middle of nowhere) Me and my dog Harley the beagle! Silence and serenity! Good for the soul.

Good grief that last picture is Crazy with that Rock, and agree the Kiwi Stars are Awesome

Thank you for the welcome! Yes it is an amazing place, the stars are amazing. All of the countries shown in this thread have amazing features that are so unique.

Agreed. That is spectacular. Welcome atz3c :welcomeani:

Thank you, this forum looks like a great community!

Yes the high country in the South Island has some very unique scenery (think Lord of the Rings!)

Hehe the sheep are around, you just have to know where to look!!! The land is fairly dry, but people are still able to graze sheep there, just not in the quantities closer to the coast.

But, there are thousands of rabbits, and these are the local pests.

It is also amazing to see the Aurora Australis, the equivalent of the Northern Lights - very uncommon to see at such distances from Antartica.

For some more information regrading Tekapo and it's night sky, http://www.earthandsky.co.nz/docs/starlight_brochure.pdf

Thanks all for the warm welcome, and I look froward to seeing some more unique places!

Welcome azt3c, you live in a great place.

I was in your hometown last year, punting down the Avon with my lady, had a top floor suite at the Millennium looking down over the Cathedral. Great city, in fact all of South Island is spectacular.

Where the school is situated is a nice area with some expensive houses, the main part of town is very muticultural nowadays and a bit of a mess, if I get my digital camera soon then I might take some snaps :)

The first 14 years of my life I spent in Frankfurt am Main:

In a small place called Nieder Eschbach:

Then I moved over to Mill Hill in North London:

And when my older brother moved to Norfolk, Virginia USA, I sort of had a "third" home I could always go to..
