Cliché Photos or Typical Pics

[speciespython]

Being an Austalian i know that alot of people think they know what austalia is to the average austalian, and not really knowing.
(people tend to see australia as red earth, hot weather, sunny beaches......)
Not say everyone thinks this way .....but i know alot do.....
just wondering if anyone has any shot of the 'typical' places of their country, (things that go with sayings of locals.....and things you always see...that visitors don't)
here are some of mine.....

a 'typical farm gate' (i don't think many victorian (aust) farm gates ACTULY work, or are in good condition)

My countryside (or in other words....a farm)

thank you...please post...

Oooohhh... I have lots of 'typical' place photos of different places. and yes, if you've been around here a while - you will have seen these photos before in the gallery.

Here's where I live. Ok so ignore the boardwalk and you've got what the area around where I looks like... pretty much. It's all rainforest... or right next door, desert. I live up in Cairns, far north queensland.

Another typical Paris:

Typical Greece:

Typical European City Square (badly stitched):

Typical Townsville (city 4hrs drive south of me - very dry hence we call it Brownsville):

too many???

Hmm, typical stuff I see where I live? :scratch: I am in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains (southern California) I am 15 minutes from dessert, 15 minutes from beautiful mountain waterfalls and things................

Regional park, man made lake. About 5 minutes away.

Directly across the street from me

@Meysha
That jungle shot is great. I love the colours and the soft lighting.


Anyway, how much more Dutch can you get:

reviving this thread with a total cliche Swan shot

Probably 90% of my photos from venturing into DC can be filed under "it's been done".

I love a lot of these, haha. Especially the swan and I live up in Cairns and typical farm gate, and the moons.

It's kind of appropriate, given this recent thread: http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/...you-work-hard-getting-pictures-landmarks.html

It's a theme; we're allowed to revive it.

Over and over.


A slight variation on railroad tracks

Selective color! AND Dutch tilt!

(In my defense, it was for a blog post, so the tuna cans weren't just a random subject matter. And the tilt..well, it did kinda make a picture of tuna cans slightly more interesting. I mean, they're tuna cans - how many ways are there to make that a bit more visually interesting? As for the selective color...well, there just is no defense, is there? )
