Cities of Blinding Lights

[sallycinnamon78]

This is fairly pointless, but I was feeling artistic. So I started this little project on my new site.

Cities of Blinding Lights
http://www.onebono.co.uk/citiesofblindinglights.html

The rest of the site should have been up and running weeks ago... I just haven't had time. Anyway, I hope you like my arty bit of nonsense!

Sorry, didn't see my city in there. U2 always forgets Albuquerque.

 

[sallycinnamon78]

LOL! I'll make sure I add Albuquerque when I update the cities.

Hey you've had 1234 posts, MacphistoPT!

And yes, I'm a geek

 

[MacPhistoPT]

Now they are 1235 I rarely look to the number, only when I'm getting close to 500 or 1000 or 1500... but it was a cool number

Cool picture too MacphistoPT

I take great pride in being half-Portuguese....especially when I see a photo like that

 

[MacPhistoPT]

Half portuguese half scottish ?

Portugal has some problems and not-so-good things but it's 100% gorgeous, north to south. Has great places.

Yep, my mother is a pure bred Lisbonian. I can even speak a little too: 'Nao falo Portugues' is my most regularly used phrase.

It's a beautiful place alright. I wish I could go back sometime soon...especially the 14th August .

I feel a bit silly pointing this out... but the 4th pic in my gallery is Auckland. That was one of the prettiest pics I found, so I put it in early. Your pic is lovely though.

I'll add the rest as soon as I can, so please feel free to suggest further images.

Oooooooh they're beautiful! Any chance you could get some titles/labels for the pictures?

I was planning to but was sooo tired I gave up! I will add titles soon.

Thanks all for your kind comments.

Why have Auckland when you could have the far superior Wellington?

I'm a Wellingtonian, I'm meant to hate Auckland. (Nah, besides mock rivalry, I don't have much against Auckland. I know I liked it when I visited it at the age of six! And come on, One Tree Hill!)

Nice to see the New Zealand love! I miss the country a lot - Australia just can't compare. Here's hoping the All Blacks flog Australia! But I must say go the Wellington Hurricanes over the Crusaders!

LOVE the picture of Wellington!

And Christchurch! It truly is a wonderful city! Dunedin's fantastic too!

 

[sallycinnamon78]

My fiance's from Sydney. Thanks for the pix, they're pretty impressive.

SORRY DALLAS IS NOT BEAUTIFUL. Just ask anyone. Texas has the dubious honor for being home to the three most ugly cities in America: Dallas, Houston, and El Paso.

 

[sallycinnamon78]

Texas has an even more dubious (or, in this case, dubya-ous) honour... but that's another thread.

Yeah, I feel your pain. I don't believe they've been in New Mexico since the Joshua Tree tour.

Very cool, Sally. Did you take any of those photo's yourself?

Can't wait for the whole site!
