Thanks fo the pictures! It is now much easier to visualize the place you live in. While I am in US this is NY mainly, which I do like a lot, but certainly not the kind of scenery I saw on the pictures from you. Thanks!

My goodness Jaga
You live in a very beautiful area! The snowy mountains look so cold, and beautiful in their white cape. Idaho (Pocatello) looks like a friendly and family oriented area..

Stunning photos, Jaga. Especially the one of the mountains lit up in pink, taken at sunset, I assume.
I was in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho on a family vacation about 20 years ago, but I'm sad to say that I don't remember the scenery - way back then, as a smart-aleck teenager, I just wasn't very interested in nature, unfortunately. But I do remember going to the big lake there and that was a lot of fun.

Susan, the landscape is not everywhere the same, do not worry here is the picture I did today - I borrowed digital camera from the secretary - she sits inside this triangle (accelerator center) - I went outside (the triangle): and did this picture [/quote]

Thanks! yes you are right, New York is a different part of the US than Idaho. If somebody would for instance go to the US and see only Texas.... he just know one small area of the USA since the rest of the US is very different than Texas. So, being in NYC does not give any idea how Idaho looks like

Kai, I guess, it is Alaska which is the most representative of the US - right? Especially it was representative during the cold war period

I wish I could think of a non-serious reply! With a small population and twice the size of Texas, lots of asian (and moslty white) immegrants and strong native cultures, it is hard for me to think of Alaska as typical USA. During the cold war we were on the front line with the Soviets and I saw one supposed map of where the Soviets would nuke Alaska - and they even had a nuke for and Indian village of 700 next to an Air Base! We are still cleaning up from the cold war and the old sites left behind. Here is a try at inserting a recent photo of mountains near my home... [img src="[/img] "] [/img] No luck. Still more to learn! Kai

Whenever there is a storm in NYC everybody knows about it but if it is in.... Idaho nobody cares. Even if the terrorists would try to blow some buildings here (although they would have a hard time to find any skyscrapers) - this would not be that big of the news as when it happened in NYC. what is the link to the picture?

Kai[/quote] Kai, what is the link to the picture?[/quote] I was trying the little window in the control panel above the messages to see if I could copy and paste my own photo. Looks like I will have to post to photobucket and then link. Kai
