Challenge: Show Us Where You Live- 5 Photos Only!

And what does it look like when your mood takes you to Ireland, NJ?
For you said you live EITHER in the Netherlands, OR in Ireland, depending on your "mood"... (I have to ALWAYS live in this tiny village halfway between Hamburg and Bremen :( ).
 
Well realistically, I live in the Netherlands, 6 years now, but whether it's home or not is another question.

I have two trips to Ireland on the horizon for this year so hopefully I will get the chance to shoot some there also.
 
Not my best pictures but some of the ones I have on hand.

Dang, this challenge made me realize I don't have many shots of Battle Creek. At least not defining shots.
 
WOW - great shots everyone. I started pointing out the ones I really love and there are just too many...I'm inspired to get better!
Today I took advantage of the lovely weather to go on a late-afternoon photography stroll. So I'm showing you not so much my city (Spacy covered iconic DC shots already - can't wait for cherry blossom time!) as my neighborhood. A large park called Rock Creek Park runs north-south through the NW section of the city, and has lots of lovely arch bridges taking east-west streets over the top. I catch glimpses of potential photos as I bicycle up the trail, and I come back on foot, camera-in-hand, to see what I can capture. Today it was chock full of joggers, bikers, dogwalkers and stroller-pushers enjoying the weather. I took lots of bridge shots, and some architecture-of-my neighborhood shots.
Thanks for looking (and reading this long-winded intro, oops!)

This is an excellent thread that seems to have run its course, so before it fizzles out and fades away completely, I'll add the one picture that I happen to have of my home surroundings..... This is where I live. it is so small a place that it doesn't even appear on most maps - My Home:

Megapaws has already posted some awesome shots of Toronto in this thread (click here). Here are some of my favourite spots in Toronto in winter, summer, at sunset, and at dusk.
