Pics from where you live

I beg to differ :kissing_heart: Porvoo is a city with a bit more than 51000 inhabitants. The oldtown is iconic though, that’s why I went for a range of pictures with oldtown scenery :grinning:

Thank you so much :slightly_smiling_face:

What? :pleading_face: I don’t own any… and there is not instrument store in Porvoo (and if there were any, it would have likely been closed on a Sunday). And just imagine, I would have needed to carry that one around with me as well :laughing:

My guitar stand comment was directed at @BHopson. Your guitar has great balance and does not appear to need one :grinning:

Hi Nicole. I love the pics. You live in a beautiful town. I would love to visit someday. I’m jealous your guitar got the tour instead lol.

If you come to Porvoo, you will get at least as nice a sightseeing your as the guitar :blush: But be warned: There are rather ugly corners here as well and I will include them in that sightseeing tour with pleasure :upside_down_face:

This was from last month. I was in a 5km race to support autism research. The scenery is Balboa Park in SanDiego.

Years ago in Germany I used to do the Volksverwanderung in many places across the country. This reminds me of that.

I knew I forgot something…

Have been to Porvoo as part of a Baltic cruise that me and my other half did a few years back. Seem to recall that they had an Elvis Presley Boulevard!!

Small world :earth_africa: Next to @Silvia80 you already are the second person in this community, who has been here.

Elvis Presley Blvd. … What?:laughing: Never heard, never seen. This can’t be real, I thought, and started googling. … And you are right, at least there is a tourism blog displaying picture of such sign in Porvoo old town somewhere :blush: Does not look like an official street sign though, I guess that someone must have been a fan and decorated their house.

Oh, sorry, I don’t know why, but I actually thought Porvoo were a small village :face_with_peeking_eye:.
My ‘hometown’ only counts about 1,700 inhabitants :sweat_smile:.

Not quite where I live, but not far away.

I took my wife for a weekend away to Bintan Island, which is a short ferry ride away.

Cheers,

Very much water and an especially small island? :desert_island: Or simply an artistic camera perspective? :slightly_smiling_face: Looks nice of course.

The tide was out, and we were standing on a small sand bank about 30 metres from shore.

For context, the full 360 photo is here (you’ll need to click into it to view and scroll around):

Which lounge is that? Looks impressive. I’m travelling to the UK via Singapore both ways.

It’s the Aerotel lounge at Changi Terminal 1.

Cheers,

Keith

That’s impressive! I wish I’d known about that when I was over that way in 1995. I assume it was built before 1995? :slightly_smiling_face:
