The first picture is a view of downntown Dallas from Reunion Tower. The second is Reunion Tower. At the top of Reunion Tower is an observation deck, cocktail lounge and restaurant. The cocktail lounge and restaurant have a revolving floor that makes a complete revolution every 55 minutes.

is that near simi valley in southern cal, or a peak near oakland (bay area)? because if it was 90 degrees, that's hot for the bay area near oakland

It is in Southern CA. I no longer live in the bay area, and probably won't be moving back for a long time. I'll hopefully be moving to Boston next year. so think of me less as oaklandbum and more as displacedbum. heh.
 
This is a picture of the marina a few cities north of me that I took a few years ago with an old (about 100 years 1900-1915 model) Eastman No. 3A folding pocket camera. The second picture is the camera I took the first picture with.

man, yall live in awesome places! i live in the middle of the suburbs, 30 min from what passes as our downtown and 45min from anything remotely beautiful in the countryside. i might post a pic of my house or maybe canyon lake later...
 
I'm living in Norway 2nd largest city,
and i built this when i was younger (its a 5 minutes walk from my house :))

I'd post pictures of where I live... but it's a dump.

Sure, it's a World Heritage site, but that doesn't determine the kind of scummy s**ts who live here... and the fact that I can't even get any nice sunny shots to offset the general scabbiness of the place!

Hehe
Trees dont grow that way. Its sorta the thin bits at the top that grow longer and thicker, not the stem that "elevates" out of the ground. If you build a treehouse at 8 feet, it will stay at 8 feet.
